Extract

These three books consider, in different ways, the interrelatedness of modern directing, stage directions, and Shakespeare's texts. All three focus on Shakespeare, although two focus more on the single text of Hamlet, and all three consider how the plays are both text and performance, and how Shakespeare on the stage and Shakespeare on the page are interrelated but distinct.
