Reviews for Shakespeare and the Staging of English History
I would recommend this book especially to those who have little access to professional productions of Shakespeare's plays and who find grasping links between page and stage challenging. They shall profit from Dillon's vivid description of stage pcitures, and even if they do not agree with these pictures, the book will stimulate imaginations about alternative probabilities.
