Produktbeschreibung

In distracted times like the present, Shakespeare too has been driven to distraction. Shakespeare Cut considers contemporary practices of cutting up Shakespeare in stage productions, videogames, book sculptures, and YouTube postings, while also exploring how Shakespeare's texts have been cut apart beginning in Shakespeare's own time.
