Recycling Shakespeare (Applause Acting Series)
by Charles Marowitz
On This Page
Description
Recycling Shakespeare is an irreverent assault on the Shakespearian establishment which presumes to have squatter's rights on the 'collected works' which it treats as holy writ. Marowitz, himself both a critic and director with successful productions of nearly a dozen Shakespeare plays behind him, shows how Shakespeare, like so many of his own earlier sources, can be reused, restructured and recycled for contemporary consumption.Tags

A study of the ways in which contemporary playwrights and directors have made use of Shakespearian material for their own purposes, and how Shakespearian classics have served as the basis for a wide variety of literary extrapolations. Included are illustrations of the author's own work with Shakespeare and how "theatrical process" ranges from its root material and can still remain faithful to the spirit - if not always the letter - of the original works.
