註釋A trenchant and invigorating inquiry into how Shakespeare is reproduced today, examing how modern intercultural and cross-cultural productions reconfigure him for 'alternative' performances.Contemporary culture is obsessed with the past. And contemporary performance is obsessed with Shakespeare.Why does Shakespeare so often perform the nostalgic role of reviving a better past for modern audiences? And what do radical rewritings of Shakespeare's plays say both to and about their audiences?Performing Nostalgia is a trenchant and invigorating inquiry into how Shakespeare is reproduced today. It looks at the enduring influence he has on present-day performance, and questions how intercultural and cross-cultural productions reconfigure him for 'alternative' performances.This is an important book which speaks across many divides - from literature to theatre, from theory to practice. Susan Bennett manages to 'shift' Shakespeare into asking new questions and opening out new debates.
