Shakespeare

Heute habe ich den Shakespeare-Reiseführer ausgelesen, der ganz nett war. Fakten von der damaligen Zeit, aber wie ein Reiseführer von heute. Taschendiebe gab es wohl immer schon, und auch sonst wurden Touristen mehr oder weniger über's Ohr gehauen.

Morgen beginne ich dann mit einem Orginial-Shakespeare. Ich habe mir den Neuen genommen, da ich "Much Ado About Nothing" im Moment nicht finde...

Meine Neues für Morgen:

William SHAKESPEARE
Measure for Measure

Product Description: From the Royal Shakespeare Company – a fresh new edition of Shakespeare's dark comedy of sexual desire and hypocrisy

THIS EDITION INCLUDES:

* An introduction to Measure for Measure by award-winning scholar Jonathan Bate
* The play – with clear and authoritative explanatory notes on each page
* A helpful scene-by-scene analysis and key facts about the play
* An introduction to Shakespeare's career and the Elizabethan theatre
* A rich exploration of approaches to staging the play featuring photographs of key productions

The most enjoyable way to understand a Shakespeare play is to see it or participate in it. This unique edition presents a historical overview of Measure for Measure in performance, recommends film versions, takes a detailed look at specific productions and includes interviews with one leading director and two actors - Trevor Nunn, Roger Allam, and Josette Simon - so that we may get a sense of the extraordinary variety of interpretations that are possible, a variety that gives Shakespeare his unique capacity to be reinvented and made 'our contemporary' four centuries after his death.

Ideal for students, theatre-goers, actors and general readers, the RSC Shakespeare editions offer an accessible and contemporary approach to reading and rediscovering Shakespeare's works for the twenty-first century.
