Popular Shakespeare cover

In recent years, the 'Popular Shakespeare' phenomenon has become ever more pervasive: in fringe productions, mainstream theatre, or the mass media, Shakespeare is increasingly constructed as an authentic part of popular culture. A vivid account of Shakespeare in performance since the 1990s, this book examines what 'Shakespeare' means to us today.

There is much to recommend in Popular Shakespeare . It is full of well-told and genuinely amusing examples of productions.' - Jerome Monahan, Around the Globe , magazine of Shakespeare's Globe
