This stimulating book asks how both text and performance are construed as vessels of authority and finds that our understanding of Shakespearean performance retains a surprising sense of the possibility of being 'faithful' to Shakespearean texts, and so to 'Shakespeare'. After an opening theoretical chapter examining contemporary editorial theory, Worthen examines the relationship between text and performance in contemporary directing, acting, and scholarship.
