Studio Shakespeare: The Royal Shakespeare Company at the Other Place

The famed Company's intimate second auditorium and studio venue, The Other Place, opened in 1974 and was closed and demolished in 1989. Shakespeare scholar, performance historian, and theater director Smith-Howard (New York U.) says the 13 Shakespeare productions at the site were some of the Company's most adventurous, experimental, and controversial work. Rather than describing each production in turn, she discusses various innovations and approaches throughout the period. Annotation 穢2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
