An approachable guide to Shakespeare on film, this book establishes the differences between stage and screen. It covers the history of Shakespeare on the screen since 1899, and discusses various modes and conventions of adaptations. Thoroughly updated to include the most recent films, for instance Joss Whedon's 2013 Much Ado About Nothing, it also explores the latest technology, such as DVD and Blu-ray, as well as live stage-to-screen productions. It also includes an exclusive interview with filmmaker John Wyver, discussing his own adaptations for the small screen.
Maurice Hindle is an independent writer and scholar. He is currently Visiting Fellow in the Department of English at The Open University, and a Trustee of the Rose Playhouse, London's first Tudor Theatre on Bankside. He also managed to completion in 2013 the AHRC-funded project he devised for De Montfort University, Shakespearean London Theatres (ShaLT), a collaboration with the V&A Museum, London. Among other publications, he has edited the Penguin Classics Editions of Dracula, Frankenstein and Caleb Williams.
