This book is the first to document and critique the company’s history of engagement with that repertoire. It reviews the spaces in which productions have been performed, design principles, casting, voicing, textual adaptation, musical direction, actor perspectives, and the problems of how to confront, adopt or depart from received notions of Restoration style. It goes on to posit that, for all the RSC’s explorations of Restoration Comedy, the company has maintained the repertoire as a fringe interest played out in niche spaces, while recycling many of the assumptions it claims to challenge, and that what is needed is the writer-led intervention seen in RSC and National Theatre adaptations of French drama from the same period. Only then can Restoration Comedy begin to engage wider audiences in new sites of political, historical andcultural meaning.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Restoration Comedy; Royal Shakespeare Company; Seventeenth-Century Theatre; Swan Theatre; Contemporary T | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-52209-3 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-52209-3 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
