What is Shakespeare in the theatre : the National Theatre, 1963-1975 : Olivier and Hall about?
The National Theatre's years at the Old Vic were the most Shakespearean period in its history, one which included Laurence Olivier's Othello and Shylock, a radical all-male As You Like It, the Berliner Ensemble's Coriolanus and Tom Stoppard's classic offshoot, Rosencrantz and Guildernstern are Dead . Drawing extensively upon the company archives, this book tells the interlinked stories of the National's relationship with Shakespeare through a series of production case studies. Between them these illuminate Olivier's significance as actor and director, the National's pioneering accommodation of European theatre practitioners, and its ways of engaging Shakespeare with the contemporary. ** About the Author Robert Shaughnessy is Professor of Theatre at the University of Kent, UK Theater Performing Arts Shakespeare Drama Literary Criticism General Cover 1 Contents 8 List of Illustrations 9 Series Preface 10 Acknowledgements 11 A Note on the Text 12 Introduction 14 1 Olivier 22 2 1967 70 3 Translations 110 4 Hall 156 Conclusion 200 Appendix 203 Notes 204 Bibliography 234 Index 248
