MS-Directing Shakespeare: Women Direct Shakespeare

Mostly consisting of interviews with such directors as Joan Littlewood, Judi Dench, Gale Edwards, and Jude Kelley, this work explores both the directors' treatment of various Shakespearean plays and their approaches to the production of theater in a world where women directors are often marginalized. Mainly focusing on British productions, Schafer (drama and theater studies, U. of London) also provides a brief history of women directors of Shakespeare. Annotation c.
