From Joseph Papp, American's foremost theater producer, and writer Elizabeth Kirkland: a captivating tour through the world of William Shakespeare.   Discover the London of Shakespeare's time, a fascinating place to be--full of mayhem and magic, exploration and exploitation, courtiers and foreigners. Stroll through narrow, winding streets crowded with merchants and minstrels, hoist a pint in a rowdy alehouse, and hurry across the river to the open-air Globe Theater to see that latest play written by a young man named Will Shakespeare.   Shakespeare Alive! spirits you back  to the very years of that London--as everyday people might have experienced it. Find out how young people fell in love, how workers and artists made ends meet, what people found funny and what they feared most. Go on location with an Elizabethan theater company to learn how plays were produced, where Shakespeare's plots came from and how he transformed them. Hear the music of Shakespeare's language and words we still use today that were first  spoken in his time. Open the book and elbow your way into the Globe with the groundlings. You'll be joining one of the most democratic audiences the theater has ever known--alewives, apprentices,  shoemakers and nobles--in applauding the dazzling wordplay and swordplay brought to you by William Shakespeare.… (plus d'informations)

If you love Shakespeare, especially Shakespeare performed live, read this small gem of a book. Joseph Papp was a New York producer-director who started the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1954. Every Summer a slate of the Bard's plays were performed in New York City's Central Park. The tickets to the productions were free. Out of those productions came stage magic. The Festival, later renamed the Public Theater, served as the launching pad for the careers of many well known Actors and Actresses. The list is amazing. If you want find out who please read, "Free for All: Joe Papp, the Public, and the Greatest Theater Story Ever Told" by Kenneth Turan and Joseph Papp. "Shakespeare Alive!" gives you a peek at the England Shakespeare called home. It is an eye-opener. Elizabethan England was,for lack of a better word, a semi-police state. Forget "Shakespeare in Love", forget "BlackAdder Part 2", it was a time of religious trials and upheavals, a time of spies and rumors of invasion, it was the England that gave us a writer who spoke, and still speaks to us. Reader, before you begin the play,...read this book. ( )
