Paula Rossman

Shakespeare's Mistress Quickly

An Actor's Exploration

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through the use of journaling, historical research
and creative interpretation, the author takes us on
her journey to discover the inner motivations and
energies swirling within the recurring character of
Shakespeare''s Mistress Quickly. Focusing upon Quickly
as she is written within The Merry Wives of
Windsor, Rossman shares her approach to the process
of creating a very human, heartfelt woman, one who is
as recognizably real for Shakespeare''s time as she
would be for ours - driven by the same passions and
desires.
Included in this work is also a detailed script and
character analysis of the role in relation to the
play itself. Rossman''s journal of the rehearsal and
performance process gives the reader a sense of the
various paths considered and those ultimately taken
in her search for artistic integrity. Finally,
a key element of the performance-related side of
Rossman''s research is an exhaustive exploration of
the cultural, historical, political, economic, and
religious attributes of Shakespeare s times and how
these factors drive Mistress Quickly s interactions
with others, her perspectives of the society in which
she lives, and her personal behavior.
