  • "Publisher Description (unedited publisher data) Most studies of the performance of Shakespeare's work concentrate on how the text has been played and what meanings have been conveyed through acting and interpretive directing. Dennis Kennedy demonstrates that much of audience response is determined by the visual representation, which is normally more immediate and direct than the aural conveyance of a text. Ranging widely over productions in Britain, Europe, Japan and North America, Kennedy gives a thorough account of the main scenographic movements of the century, investigating how the visual relates to Shakespeare on the stage. The second edition of this acclaimed history includes a new chapter on Shakespeare performance in the 1990s, bringing the story up to date by drawing on examples from a wide international field. There are more than twenty new illustrations, some of them in colour (bringing the total number of illustrations to almost 200), and previous references have been updated. Library of Congress subject headings for this publication: Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 Stage history 1950- Pictorial works, Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 Stage history 1800-1950 Pictorial works, Theaters Stage-setting and scenery History 20th century Pictorial works, Theater History 20th century Pictorial works."
