Two productions of a Shakespeare play can be startlingly different. Is one right and the other wrong? Can a play be performed in several ways and yet remain true to the playwright? Do costumes and settings help us to understand a play more fully? Each book in this series takes one play and considers some of the key issues and their treatment in three recent productions. Detailed consideration is also given to the role and influence of the governing idea or central image of the play, which each director has chosen to highlight his production.
