Summary
In this workshop, director John Barton and members of the Royal Shakespeare Company discuss how modern expectations of naturalistic theater can be balanced with Shakespeare's heightened language, and how to read Shakespeare's texts, which were written two hundred years before "motivation" and "characterization" entered the critical vocabulary. Barton and the actors analyse the question of how to understand Shakespeare's texts, citing examples of his plays, and by contrast, the writings of other British authors of the period.
