Shaping Shakespeare for Performance: The Bear Stage collects
significant work from the 2013 Blackfriars Conference. The
conference, sponsored by the American Shakespeare Center, brings
together scholars, actors, directors, dramaturges, and students to
share important new work on the staging practices used by William
Shakespeare and his contemporaries. The volume's contributors range
from renowned scholars and editors to acclaimed directors,
highly-trained actors, and budding researchers. The topics cover a
similarly wide range: a close reading of an often-cut scene from
Henry V meets an account of staging pregnancy; a meticulous review
of early modern contract law collides with an analysis of an actor
in a bear costume; an account of printed punctuation from the 1600s
encounters a study of audience interaction and empowerment in King
Lear; the identification of candid doubling in A Comedy of Errors
meets the troubling of gender categories in The Roaring Girl. The
essays focus on the practical applications of theory, scholarship,
and editing to performance of early modern plays.
