Shakespeare And The Theatrical Event » (REV)

John Russell Brown is Professor of Theatre at Middlesex University.

To encourage independent studies of the plays and suggest new ways of staging them, Brown (theatre, Middlesex U.) broadly outlines the elements of a production. Among them are gathering an audience, contributions of the author and actors, audience response, what an actor does on stage, the context of performance, and how theatrical events can be taken into account when reading and studying printed texts.
