Filming Shakespeare's Plays : The Adaptations of Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook and Akira Kurosawa

Omtale

While acknowledging that dramatic experiences for theatre and cinema audiences are significantly different, this book reveals some of the special qualities of cinema's dramatic language in the film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays by four directors - Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook and Akira Kurosawa - each of whom has a distinctly different approach to film representation.
