Description
Shakespeare's As You Like It can appear bright or sombre in performance: a feast of language and a delight for comic actors; or a risk-taking exploration of gender roles. This edition offers an account of what makes the play both innocent and dangerous, mapping the complexities of its setting (a no-man's-land related to both France and England) and giving an ample commentary on its language and an analytical account of performance.
Reviews / Votes
"Of particular interest is Hattaway's thorough discussion of stage history, complete with critically rich, detailed accouns of recent productions (film versions arecovered, too). His thinking as a critic and editor is clear, insightful and consistent, and his edition offers useful, well-documented textual notes and three appendices ... [Hattaway] has produced a solid critical edition that will serve the classroom as well as the stage." American TheatreMore details
