This book provides actors, directors, teachers and students with a clear, practical guide to applying the work of influential theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavsky to Shakespeare.Shakespeare and Stanislavsky provides a guide for actors, acting students, directors and teachers who want to apply the work of influential theatre practitioner, Stanislavsky, to the process of rehearsing and workshopping Shakespeare’s play texts. Acting tutor and director, Annie Tyson, makes applying Stanislavsky’s methods to Shakespeare simple and accessible. She rejects and dispels the myth held by some that Stanislavsky and Shakespeare are incompatible, showing instead how the Shakespearean text offers clues to specific acting choices that are intricately connected to action and character. Drawing on years of acting, directing and teaching experience at the Drama Centre London and RADA, Tyson’s guide is full of practical tips and humour. This guide also includes a series of interviews with actors and directors who explain their approach to applying Stanislavsky to Shakespeare.

A simple, accessible account of the key elements of Stanislavsky’s method and ways in which these can be applied to the production or exploration of a Shakespeare play
The Arden Performance Companions offer practice-focussed introductions to different aspects of staging Shakespeare’s plays: whether accounts of how Shakespearean drama may respond to particular systems of rehearsal and preparation, guides to how today’s actors can understand and use different facets of Shakespeare’s verbal style, or explorations of how particular modern practitioners have used Shakespeare’s scripts as starting points for their own embodied thinking about the social and aesthetic possibilities of popular theatre. The premise of this series is that the interpretation of Shakespeare is not confined to the literary analysis of his scripts, but also includes their rehearsal and performance. With this in mind, the Arden list of editions of Shakespeare expanded in 2017 to include not only heavily-annotated scholarly texts of each play, designed primarily for use in colleges and universities, but a new series, the Arden Performance Editions of Shakespeare, designed primarily for use in rehearsal rooms and at drama schools. Just as academic editions of Shakespeare may be supplemented by books introducing students to different modes of academic criticism, so these Arden Performance Companions seek to supplement the Arden Performance Editions, offering a rich variety of practical guidance on how Shakespeare’s plays can be brought to life in contemporary performance.
