- Summary:
- "Shakespeare / Play asks: what is (a) play? How do Shakespeare's plays engage with, and represent, early modern modes of play - from jests, games, and toys, to music, spectacle, movement, animal-baiting and dance? How do contemporary 'replays' in performance engage with other modes of play? And how does the structure of the plays experienced in the early modern playhouse shape our understanding of the form of a Shakespeare play today? Ranging across Shakespeare's dramatic oeuvre, prose works from the period and contemporary theatre and film, it provides a fascinating study of 'play' with approaches from a host of disciplines"-- Provided by publisher.
