In his latest book; John Russell Brown offers a new and revealing way of reading and studying Shakespeares plays; focusing on what a play does for an audience; as well as what its text says. By considering the entire theatrical experience and not only what happens on stage; Brown takes his readers back to the major texts with a fuller understanding of their language; and an enhanced view of a plays theatrical potential.Chapters on theatre-going; playscripts; acting; parts to perform; interplay; stage space; off-stage space; and the use of time all bring recent developments in Theatre studies together with Shakespeare Studies. Every aspect of theatre-making comes into view as a dozen major plays are presented in the context for which they were written; making this an adventurous and eminently practical book for all students of Shakespeare.

Oh my goodness...this book is so beautiful!!By ColleenI was a grad student in one of Julies classes several years ago and I remember the morning when she first told us about her idea for The Fear Project and now its a book!Julies attention to detail in her mixed media illustrations is EXQUISITE. Her characters are ridiculously adorable. extremely complex and so full of emotion. Its amazing to see so many different fears out in the open. Its like discovering a secret box that has been hidden for a long time. You will not be able to put this book down...it is so compelling."Fear. Illustrated" would make a wonderful gift for yourself or someone you care about :)1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
