Shakespeare and Child's Play: Performing Lost Boys on Stage and Screen

By Carol Chillington Rutter

Arguing that contemporary culture uses Shakespeare to re-think these same issues today as we experience a post-modern crisis in 'childness', Shakespeare and Child's Play first locates ideas of childhood in early modern theorisations and performances then analyses a range of recent performances on stage and film that put our own culture's conflicted responses to the emotive issue of the child squarely in view.
