Robert Weimann redefines the relationship between writing and performance, or 'playing', in Shakespeare's theatre and offers a reconsideration and redefinition of Elizabethan performance and production practices. The study reviews the most recent methodologies of textual scholarship, performance theory, and film interpretation, and offers a new approach to understanding Shakespeare.
