  • Shakespeare on Audio (CD, Vinyl & Cassette)
    Shakespeare on Audio (CD, Vinyl & Cassette) Historical Recordings & Anthologies Shakespeare recordings have been in evidence from the earliest days of the wax cylinder, through the short-playing 78 rpm shellac discs of the 1930s and the long-playing 33 1/3 rpm vinyl discs (LPs) and reel-to-reel tapes of the 1950s, to the widely available audio cassettes, compact discs (CDs), videotapes, and digital recordings of the present. Before Orson Welles’s innovative Mercury Text Records series issued by Columbia Records in 1938, no one had attempted to record full-length audio versions of Shakespeare. Previously only isolated passages from the plays had been available, performed by fabled stage actors such as E.H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, Herbert Beerbohm-Tree, Ellen Terry and a few others and recorded between 1890 and the First World War. Between the wars, Hamlet’s “O what a rogue and peasant slave…” and “How all occasions do inform…” and Macbeth’s “Is this a dagger…?” were recorded on 78s by such stars as Henry Ainley and John Barrymore, and included with other famous soliloquies and educational intent on Johnston Forbes-Robertson’s two-disc How to Speak Shakespeare (Columbia, 1928). These recordings existed almost entirely for the purpose of preserving a famous actor’s reading of a set speech. The custom of recording speeches and brief duologues by great actors, although partly a matter of technology and packaging (a speech can fill one side of a 78 rpm disk), reflects a cultural reality as well, an attitude toward Shakespeare that sees his plays as predominantly a collection of purple passages and wise saws.

  • The Performance of Gender with Particular Reference to the Plays Of
    The Performance of Gender with particular reference to the plays of Shakespeare A thesis submitted to Middlesex University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Luke Dixon School of Drama and Theatre Arts Middlesex University April 1998 MX 7309012 3 IIIýýWII IIIIIXVýýýwýýllllýý ABSTRACT An analytical history of the representation of gender on the English stage from Shakespeare to modern times is followed by a detailed examination of the National Theatre of Great Britain's production of `As You Like It' in 1967, the first production of a play by Shakespeare for over three hundred years in which the female parts were played by male actors. Subsequent cross-cast productions of Shakespeare's plays by Glasgow Citizen's Theatre, Prospect theatre Company, Lindsay Kemp, Theatre du Soleil and Goodman Theatre Chicago are discussed and the views of directors and critics of those productions analysed. The thesis then presents the results of a series of workshops with actors into the playing of gender and examines, by means of an experiment employing Gender Schema Theory, how actors construct gender in a production of `Twelfth Night'. The final part of the thesis describes a controlled experiment into audience perception of gender using a scene from `Hamlet'. Theories are presented about the nature of the performance of gender on stage and the use of theatrical conventions, the relationship between social conventions and stage conventions, about the way in which an actor builds a character, the influence of biological sex on actors' creativity, and about audience perception. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter I Contexts, methodology, terminology.
