Stephen Peithman

4/5 ( ratings)

"The Stage Directions Guide to Shakespeare" offers practical advice on everything a regional, community, or academic theater needs to know when taking the plunge into a Shakespearean play, including:

assessing your theater group's abilities
selecting a play
casting
making costume and set decisions
special demands of directing and playing Shakespeare
publicity
and much more.
As Peithman and Offen explain, "It really doesn't matter where or when one of the Bard's plays is set. What does matter, above all, is that the production show us the understanding and intelligence, the wit and perception that have distinguished the works of Shakespeare since they were first put on in London." "The Stage Directions Guide to Shakespeare" provides you with the information and guidance you need to make your Shakespeare production a success.
