Description
Analyzes performances at the reconstructed Globe Theatre in London between 1996 and 2004 through a focus on the new Globes most defining characteristic: authenticity. In that this concept of authenticity reverberates so urgently with debates about identity from national to personal, heritage-centered to technologically-mediated the book addresses both the question of why authenticity has become so crucial in late twentieth and early twenty-first century Britain and it further considers what productions of the authentic Shakespeare at the new Globe have to say about contemporary identities.
