What are the political dimensions of Shakespeare's plays in performance? Hartley reveals the unspoken politics of Shakespeare's plays on stage, examining their nature, agenda, limits and potential. In doing so, he highlights a more consciously political approach to making theatre out of Shakespeare's scripts - and to experiencing it as an audience.
