BROWN, John Russell. Shakespeare’s Plays in Performance
[From the cover] "The book starts with a consideration of the text and actor, the closest point of contact between Shakespeare and those who perform his plays. The stage and stage-action are then considered - again in conjunction with a close study of the texts. A brief third section discusses the audience and the nature of its response: and the final chapters examine particular English productions from recent years, with the object of showing what today's theatre directors and actors have discovered about how to present the plays".
