Actors Talk About Shakespeare

NZ$ 39.99 each
Paperback
Author:
Mary Z. Maher
Published by:
Limelight Editions
Bravo, Shakespeare. Even today, his plays challenge celebrated actors to hone their skills and electrify audiences. Imagine the process actors undergo to recreate these spellbinding roles on stage. In an interview with the author, Kevin Kline declared that playing Shakespeare 'uses a different muscle group in your head'. Liev Schreiber said, 'When I perform Shakespeare, all my pistons are firing'. Performing Shakespeare is tantamount to earning a black belt in acting."Actors Talk About Shakespeare" features personal interviews with a stellar collection of prominent American, Canadian, and British performers of Shakespeare onstage, including Kevin Kline, Liev Schreiber, Judi Dench, Kenneth Branagh, Derek Jacobi, Stacy Keach, Zoe Caldwell, Martha Henry, William Hutt, Tony Church, Nicholas Pennell, and Geoff Hutchings. In conversations equivalent to a magician telling his or her secrets, Mary Z. Maher uncovers the actors' process. The ...

Michael White
Published by:
Duncan Baird
A chat with William Shakespeare turns into an evocative journey into the personal and professional worlds of the greatest writer in the English language. Over the past four centuries his iconic status as a poet and dramatist has come to represent what it means to be a genius, and his words have given us a means of expressing every human emotion.
But what kind of a man was he?
Here we are able to follow his steps from a small town in Warwickshire to centre stage in Elizabethan London. We hear about his favourite actors, his methods of writing, his learning, his inspiration and ambitions, his relations with his wife and children ...and with rival playwrights such as Ben Jonson and Christopher Marlowe. And we learn too about the colourful, often surprisingly violent but also surprisingly civilized times in which he lived.

Contested Will : Who Wrote Shakespeare?

NZ$ 59.99 each
Hardback
Author:
James Shapiro
Published by:
Faber and Faber
For two hundred years after Shakespeare's death, no one thought to argue that somebody else had written his plays. Since then dozens of rival candidates - including Sir Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford - have been proposed as their true author.
Contested Will
unravels the mystery of when and why so many people began to question whether Shakespeare wrote the plays (among them such leading writers and artists as Sigmund Freud, Henry James, Mark Twain, Helen Keller, Orson Welles, and Sir Derek Jacobi). Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro's fascinating search for the source of this controversy retraces a path strewn with fabricated documents, calls for trials, false claimants, concealed identity, bald-faced deception and a failure to grasp what could not be imagined. If
Contested Will
does not end the authorship question once and for all, it will nonetheless irrevocably change the nature of the debate by confronting what's ...

Heirs to Shakespeare: SPECIAL

Paperback
Author:
Megan Lynn Isaac
Published by:
Boynton/Cook Publishers Inc US
One of the best ways for modern readers to develop an appreciation for Shakespeare is by discovering how frequently his works are reinvented by today's young adult authors. "Heirs to Shakespeare" puts the Baird into conversation with these authors and helps bring Renaissance drama to life. This innovative approach to curriculum design bridges the artificial gap between canonical authors and contemporary writers. At the same time, it demonstrates how reading for personal pleasure and reading Shakespeare can be complementary goals. Unlike other books that "pair" classic and contemporary books, this one provides readings and specific analysis of the Shakespearean influence underpinning many young adult novels.

How to Read Shakespeare

Paperback
Author:
Nicholas Royle
Published by:
Granta Books
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is perhaps the most famous as well as strangest and most inventive poet and dramatist of all time. Although dead for hundreds of years, he is everywhere - in books and movies, in love and war, in the public world of politics and the intimacies of everyday speech. What makes his writings so persistently powerful and fascinating? The most effective way of exploring this question is to focus on what (as far as we are able to determine) he actually wrote. Nicholas Royle conveys the richness and complexity of Shakespeare's work through a series of unusually close readings. His primary concern is with letting the reader experience - anew or for the first time - the extraordinary pleasure and stimulation of reading Shakespeare. There are extracts from some of Shakespeare's most popular plays, including The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.

Who can deny the satisfaction in coming up with the right words at the right time to put a rude, insulting, or otherwise unpleasant person in his or her place? For hilarious lessons in the fine art of rapier-sharp retort, pungent put-down, and ego-crushing malediction, we can turn to the master, William Shakespeare. Though more famous for romantic sonnets, Shakespeare also penned some of the most memorably vile personal appraisals, brutal jokes, and lewd, scurrilous insinuations ever to grace the English language. This decimating deck of 48 cards features fill-in-the-blank bawdiness on each front, where the sources are also cited. The completed quip, cuss, or curse is presented on the backside, a familiar target for the bard’s more puerile disparagements. Contextual notes--i.e., who is abusing whom, why, and in what play--support each quotation.
