John Barrymore's Richard III and Hamlet, first seen in New York during the 1919-20 and 1922-3 seasons, stand as high-water marks of 20th-century Shakespearean interpretation. In this 1997 book, Morrison reconstructs these historic performances through analysis of production preparation, audience response, reviews, and memoirs.
