Don’t read Shakespeare through our modern lens. Understand the theatrical conventions of Shakespeare’s day, and you understand Shakespeare. One wouldn’t use Stanislavsky’s method acting to perform a play by Bertolt Brecht or Anton Artaud, and it just as quickly falls flat with Shakespeare. Those in the know cringe when those adapting Shakespeare believe all they […]
