One of the most important pieces of Shakespearian scholarship to appear in several years, this brilliant work offers new perspectives on the controversial subject of Shakespearean production at the Globe. The author examines the Globe's repertory system, dramaturgy, stage, acting, and staging. Dr. Beckerman is Chairman of the Department of Drama and Speech at Hofstra College, where he directs the annual Shakespearean Festival on a detailed replica of the Globe Theatre stage.
