Shakespeare on Theatre

<p>In <i>Shakespeare on Theatre</i> master acting teacher Robert Cohen brilliantly scrutinises Shakespeare's implicit theories of acting paying close attention to the plays themselves and providing a wealth of fascinating historical evidence.</p><p>What he finds will surprise scholars and actors alike – that Shakespeare's drama and his practice as an actor were founded on realism though one clearly distinct from the realism later found in Stanislavski.</p><p>Shakespeare on Acting is an extraordinary introduction to the way the plays articulate a profound understanding of performance and reflect the life and times of a uniquely talented theatre-maker.</p>
