Description: Shakespeare, Trauma and Contemporary Performance by Catherine Silverstone Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This study explores the relationship between performances of Shakespeares plays and the ways in which they engage with traumatic events and histories. It investigates the ethical and political implications of attempts to represent trauma in performance, and interrogates a range of narratives about Shakespeare, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, colonization and violence. Publisher Description Shakespeare, Trauma and Contemporary Performance examines how contemporary performances of Shakespeares texts on stage and screen engage with violent events and histories. The book attempts to account for – but not to rationalize – the ongoing and pernicious effects of various forms of violence as they have emerged in selected contemporary performances of Shakespeares texts, especially as that violence relates to apartheid, colonization, racism, homophobia and war. Through a series of wide-ranging case studies, which are informed by debates in Shakespeare, trauma and performance studies and developed from extensive archival research, the book examines how performances and their documentary traces work variously to memorialize, remember and witness violent events and histories. In the process, Silverstone considers the ethical and political implications of attempts to represent trauma in performance, especially in relation to performing, spectatorship and community formation. Ranging from the mainstream to the fringe, key performances discussed include Gregory Dorans Titus Andronicus (1995) for Johannesburgs Market Theatre; Don C. Selwyns New Zealand-made film, The Maori Merchant of Venice (2001); Philip Osments appropriation of The Tempest in This Islands Mine for Londons Gay Sweatshop (1988); and Nicholas Hytners Henry V (2003) for the National Theatre in London.
