What do audiences do as they watch a Shakespeare play? What makes them respond in the ways that they do?Exploring the practice of being a modern Shakespearean audience; Stephen Purcell examines a wide range of theatrical productions; surveys some of the most influential ideas about spectatorship in contemporary performance studies; and analyses how both modern theatre practitioners and the play texts themselves position audiences in particular ways. Innovative and insightful; this book includes detailed case studies of two modern productions; a collaborative debate section; and suggestions for practical exercises and further reading.
