Focusing on the practical means and media of Shakespeare's stage,
this study envisions horizons for his achievement in the theatre.
Bridging the gap between today's page- and stage-centred
interpretations, two renowned Shakespeareans demonstrate the artful
means by which Shakespeare responded to the competing claims of
acting and writing in the Elizabethan era. They examine how the
playwright explored issues of performance through the resonant trio
of clown, fool and cross-dressed boy actor. Like this trio, his
deepest and most captivating characters often attain their power
through the highly performative mode of 'personation' - through
playing the character as an open secret. Surveying the whole of the
playwright's career in the theatre, Shakespeare and the Power of
Performance offers not only compelling ways of approaching the
relation of performance and print in Shakespeare's works, but also
new models for understanding dramatic character itself.
