Shakespeare, Performance, Self This unique study investigates the ways in which the staging convention of direct address - talking to the audience - can construct selfhood, for Shakespeare`s characters. By focusing specifically on the relationship between performer and audience, Talking to the Audience examines what happens when the audience are in the presence of a dramatic figure who knows they are there. It is a book concerned with theatrical illusion with the pleasures and disturbances of seeing `characters` produced in the moment of performance.Through analysis of contemporary productions Talking to the Audience serves to demonstrate how the study of recent performance helps us to understand both Shakespeare`s cultural moment and our own. Its exploration of how theory and practice can inform each other make this essential reading for all those studying Shakespeare in either a literary or theatrical context.
