Learning on ScreenDirecting Shakespeare: Shakespeare’s Theatre
- Synopsis
- Audio lecture given by Michael Lupu, senior dramaturg for the Guthrie Theatre at the Directing Shakespeare Symposium. Lupu talks about audience expectations in the Elizabethan period, the history of Shakespeare’s company (the Lord Chamberlain’s Men), and how the shifting of Shakespeare’s theatre midway through his career may have affected his writing. Lupu, with the help of designer Ming Cho Lee, explains the type of theatre in which Shakespeare was working, and how the intimate, single-room performance space of the Globe Theatre shaped almost every moment in Shakespeare’s work. Other topics discussed include: Shakespeare’s plays coming from the stage to the page and not vice versa, A Winter’s Tale being published after Shakespeare’s death, and the place of a poet in the theatre.
