By focusing on The Royal Shakespeare Company, Werner demonstrates how actor training, company management and gender politics fundamentally affect both how a production is created and the interpretations it can suggest.\u003cbr\u003e Werner concentrates particularly on:\u003cbr\u003e The influential training methods of Cicely Berry and Patsy Rodenburg\u003cbr\u003e The history of the RSC Women's Group\u003cbr\u003e Gale Edwards' production of \u003cem\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She reveals that no performance of Shakespeare is able to bring the plays to life or to realise the playwright's intentions without shaping them to mirror our own assumptions.\u003cbr\u003e By examining the ideological implications of performance practices, this book will help all interested in Shakespeare's plays to explore what it means to study them in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257652728152,"sku":"9780415227308","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415227308_991b4692-5f87-434f-a31c-736f3fc5b9ef.jpg?v=1779175818","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-feminist-performance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
