Evoking (and Forgetting) Shakespeare

by Peter Brook

ISBN: 9781854597120

Published: 2002

Drama

"Addresses a number of essential questions about performing Shakespeare today. Why is Shakespeare not out of date? What do we mean by Shakespeare's "genius" or "creativity" or "poetry"? What, in fact, is the Shakespeare phenomenon? In attempting answers to these and other questions, Peter Brook invites us to consider the actual conditions of the Elizabethan theatre and the actual qualities of Shakespeare's language. The result is a typically illuminating and provocative take on our greatest playwright." -- Back cover | First published as a paperback original in Great Britain, Nick Hern Books, 1998. This expanded edition first published in 2002.
