Playing Shakespeare's Beautiful People is an in-depth, comprehensive look at the concepts and standards of beauty found in Shakespeare's plays and poems, both in staged performances and in critical literary analyses. Issues as challenging as race, gender, sex, and power come into play when discussing who or what is beautiful in Shakespeare - and who gets to make that determination. How do we address or perform beauty today in a manner that is both consistent with 21st century conceptions of diversity and equity, while still honoring the integrity of Shakespeare's texts, even as we interrogate them?
In this volume, the fifth in the series of Playing Shakespeare's Characters, ten distinguished contributors, including Shakespearean scholars, art historians, playwrights, actors, philosophers, visual artists, and educators, bring their unique and provocative responses to Shakespeare's challenge for us to look on beauty.
