Performing Shakespeare
by Oliver Ford Davies
An authoritative, hands-on guide through
the practical challenges involved in performing Shakespeare.
Drawing on a lifetime’s experience
of playing Shakespearean roles, Oliver Ford Davies offers practical
advice to actors, directors and drama students on a wide variety of
scenes, characters, speeches and individual lines from almost every
one of the plays.
The three core sections of Performing
Shakespeare take us through the whole process of Preparation, Rehearsal
and Performance, preceded by discussions of the Elizabethan actor and
Shakespeare’s language.
Also included are revealing interviews
with other notable Shakespearean actors including Judi Dench, Ian McKellen,
Harriet Walter, Simon Russell Beale and Juliet Stevenson.
“Terrific… should be read by anyone
who wants to understand more about the Bard, his players, his times
and today’s interpretations of his stupendous creations…. A great
book for anyone who loves the theatre.” —Observer
