{"product_id":"shakespeare-in-the-theatre-russell-jackson-9781474289580","title":"Shakespeare in the Theatre: Trevor Nunn","description":"Sir Trevor Nunn is one of the most versatile and accomplished directors in the English-speaking theatre. This book examines his achievements as a director of Shakespeare within the wider context of debates on the cultural politics of Britain's theatrical institutions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His approach has been marked by the combination of close textual analysis with inventive theatricality, in performance spaces ranging from the large stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre to the intimacy of the companies' studio theatres. The principal focus of the book is on Nunn's work as director of Shakespeare during his artistic directorship of the RSC and the NT. The four core chapters focus in detail on major productions that can be said to have challenged and changed perceptions of the plays, including \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e (RSC, 1969), the 'Roman Plays' season (RSC, 1972) and\u003ci\u003e All's Well That Ends Well\u003c\/i\u003e (RSC, 1982), and the studio productions of \u003ci\u003eMacbeth \u003c\/i\u003e(RSC 1976), Othello (RSC, 1989) and \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e (NT, 1999). The study draws on archive material, as well as reviews and other published commentary, including that of actors who have worked with him.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Russell Jackson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474289584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474289580\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Russell Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44065830240511,"sku":"9781474289580","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac634b26-cdc4-4be0-aee0-c168eea00d5c.jpg?v=1685403750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shakespeare-in-the-theatre-russell-jackson-9781474289580","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
