Performing Human: The Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio; Conclusion; Notes; Productions Cited; Bibliography; IndexThis unique study investigates the ways in which the staging convention of direct address - talking to the audience - can construct selfhood, for Shakespeare's characters. By focusing specifically on the relationship between performer and audience, Talking to the Audience examines what happens when the audience are in the presence of a dramatic figure who knows they are there. It is a book concerned with theatrical illusion; with the pleasures and disturbances of seeing 'characters' produced in the moment of performance.Through analysis of contemporary productions Talking to tTheater audiencesActingElectronic books.Theater audiences.Acting.792.95Escolme Bridget1964-,948747MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451788203321Talking to the audience2231111UNINA
