Description
Reviews / Votes
" Reenacting Shakespeare is an extraordinary, eye-opening study. Cartelli's book is a brilliantly revelatory guide to 'experimental' Shakespeare performances we have seen as well as to those we had not even heard of. Through description to analysis to resonances and beyond, he remakes the theory we need to interpret these cultural constructions of our many revolutionary Shakespeares." (Peter Holland, McMeel Family Professor of Shakespeare Studies, Notre Dame University, USA; Chair of the International Shakespeare Association)"Cartelli's deeply informed and wide-ranging exploration of recent experimental Shakespeare is the finest book I know on the subject. The fruits of decades of engaged theatergoing, Reenacting Shakespeare in the Shakespeare Aftermath is rich in insight, and will prove no less valuable to contemporary critics and theater practitioners than it will to future generations hoping to grasp what this avant-garde Shakespeare meant to ours." (James Shapiro, Columbia University, USA, and author of The Year of Lear (2015)
