Overview
Students work through three to five key play-texts by, or related to, Shakespeare , analysing these in the context of theoretical texts by practitioners and scholars, and concentrating on how the works might be staged and performed. Histories of acting, directing, and production theories are explored in detail, giving consideration to how the texts have been performed throughout their production histories. Students will apply the theories in practical exercises based on the texts and the writings of the practitioners. The unit emphasises the comparative practical consequences of different approaches and understandings.
