• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1989, this book focuses on the handling of the relationship between the onstage world and the offstage world, between the world that Shakespeare shows us and the one he tells us about. It examines Shakespeare from a director's viewpoint and explains why dramatists must explore the proportions and weighting of interactions.
