A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare's beloved plays. Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

Producing on Broadway: A Practical Guide to Modern Commercial Theater is the first ever in-depth guide to becoming a successful theatrical producer. This book provides a thorough and detailed examination of the various skillsets that must be developed in order to be competitive in the business, and explains how those skills are applied in real life situations. Grounded soundly in the theory, history, realities, and aesthetics of the business, two-time Tony Award winning author John Pinckard explains each aspect of making a Broadway show happen, coloring the text with personal anecdotes and case studies of successful producers.

Yiddish Voices

This book provides the first ever English translation of the Yiddish play, Mississippi. Penned in 1935 by Leyb Malakh, it was commissioned for production by a Warsaw-based experimental Yiddish theatre company and was focused on the racial injustice of the Scottsboro Boys case which began with the wrongful arrest of nine African-American youths in Alabama, 1931. The book includes a detailed, multifaceted scholarly introduction which ranges widely and effectively across the various historical and literary contexts in which the play can be appreciated.

As our volume shows, both the writer and the director, Michal Weichert, were keen to depict a dramatic episode from contemporary life that reflected the leftist goals and ideas to which they were devoted. Alyssa Quint examines the fact that while the plight of the Scottsboro Boys lasted throughout the 1930s and inspired works of Communist or leftist struggle by a substantial number of artists and writers in the United States, few beyond America took on the subject. She looks at how Malakh's drama reflects the influence of the African American writer Langston Hughes, who wrote Scottsboro Limited in 1931 after the Boys' first trial when they were sentenced to death. Writing in 1935, after a number of successful appeals, Malakh refers to the rallies that took place throughout Europe in protest of the Boys' arrest and sentencing. The introduction also shows how the play reflects the influence of 'synchronous theater' (akin to immersive theater) as well as other avant-garde theatrical strategies of the time. Quint goes on to consider the substantial success of Mississippi, which played on city stages at least one hundred times throughout Poland and attracted significant critical attention, and what this can tell us about the connection between the Jewish people of Europe and African-Americans around this time.

Shakespeare in Performance

Boika Sokolova and Kirilka Stavreva's second edition of the stage history of The Merchant of Venice interweaves into the chronology of James Bulman's first edition richly contextualised chapters on Max Reinhardt, Peter Zadek, and the first production of the play in Mandatory Palestine, directed by Leopold Jessner. The main focus of the book is on post-1990s productions across Europe and the USA. The Segue provides a broad survey of the interpretative shifts in performance from the 1930s to the second decade of the twenty-first century. Informative chapters on productions of the play by major contemporary directors present the work of Trevor Nunn, Robert Sturua, Edward Hall, Rupert Goold, Daniel Sullivan and Karin Coonrod's staging in the Venetian Ghetto. An extensive section engages with the cinematic history of the play, from silent-era adaptations, like Peter Paul Felner's Der Kaufmann von Venedig (The Jew of Mestri), through Pierre Billon's talkie Le Marchand de Venise; it includes a close analysis of Don Selwyn's Te Tangata Whai Rawa or Weniti (The Maori Merchant of Venice) and Michael Radford's William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This broad picture of key theatrical and film transformations of The Merchant of Venice will prove essential to students of the history of performance, scholars interested in the general trends and local specificities of the play's staging and reception, as well as to theatre practitioners and all those who are prepared to look into the dark history of anti-Semitism and oppression, reflected in the stage fortunes of Shakespeare's play.
