{"product_id":"performing-shakespeares-women-paige-martin-reynolds-9781350170964","title":"Performing Shakespeare's Women: Playing Dead","description":"Shakespeare's women rarely reach the end of the play alive. Whether by murder or by suicide, onstage or off, female actors in Shakespeare's works often find themselves 'playing dead.' But what does it mean to 'play dead', particularly for women actors, whose bodies become scrutinized and anatomized by audiences and fellow actors who 'grossly gape on'? In what ways does playing Shakespeare's women when they are dead emblematize the difficulties of playing them while they are still alive? Ultimately, what is at stake for the female actor who embodies Shakespeare's women today, dead or alive? Situated at the intersection of the creative and the critical, \u003ci\u003ePerforming Shakespeare's Women: Playing Dead\u003c\/i\u003e engages performance history, current scholarship and the practical problems facing the female actor of Shakespeare's plays when it comes to 'playing dead' on the contemporary stage and in a post-feminist world. This book explores the consequences of corpsing Shakespeare's women, considering important ethical questions that matter to practitioners, students and critics of Shakespeare today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paige Martin Reynolds\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350170968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350170964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arden Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Paige Martin Reynolds","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136099275007,"sku":"9781350170964","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_72b49613-2352-46aa-bdf1-0ad81d62cff8.jpg?v=1726415679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-shakespeares-women-paige-martin-reynolds-9781350170964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
