Beschreibung

"This is the first comprehensive analysis of the contribution of Tina Packer to Shakespearean theatre in the United States. Beginning with her 1st production in 1971, Katharine Goodland covers the 5 decades since the founding of Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, Massachusetts in 1978. Drawing on new interviews with the original casts and creative teams as well as Tina Packer herself, and featuring 12 in-depth case studies of productions, it considers all of her professional Shakespeare productions in their cultural and historical context and illuminates the embedded nature of regional Shakespeare in communities across the United States"--
