About this product

Product Information

While acknowledging that dramatic experiences for theatre and cinema audiences are significantly different, this book reveals some of the special qualities of cinema's dramatic language in the film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays by four directors - Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook and Akira Kurosawa - each of whom has a distinctly different approach to film representation.

'It would surely be unlikely for anyone to be well informed on both Shakespeare and the screen, yet here, and urgently welcome, is Anthony Davies ... Anyone who has attempted to analyse a film for writing purposes from memory or notes must pay tribute to the observation displayed in this book.' Times Higher Education Supplement, "...valuable for anyone interested in this century's added dimension to the plays: the motion picture." The Book Report, ‘Davies’ intelligent and lucid study is based upon the films of Olivier, Welles, Brook and Kurosawa, and represents another valuable addition to the academic study of Shakespeare in performance, reflecting a greater degree of collaboration between the university and the theatre.’ The Stage and Television Today, ‘It would surely be unlikely for anyone to be well informed on both Shakespeare and the screen, yet here, and urgently welcome, is Anthony Davies … Anyone who has attempted to analyse a film for writing purposes from memory or notes must pay tribute to the observation displayed in this book.’Times Higher Education Supplement, 'Davies' intelligent and lucid study is based upon the films of Olivier, Welles, Brook and Kurosawa, and represents another valuable addition to the academic study of Shakespeare in performance, reflecting a greater degree of collaboration between the university and the theatre.'
