"What Country Friends Is This?": Creating Shakespeare's Twelfth Night Onstage, A Director's Journey

By Dawn Monique Williams

This book documents how the director, as both interpretive and generative artist, takes William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night from the page to the stage through ongoing collaboration with a team of artists including designers, a composer, and actors. Discussion includes generation of the theatrical production concept and staging of Shakespeare's play, and places the production of Twelfth Night in cultural, historical, and artistic contexts. Theoretical considerations and artistic practices, address specific artistic decisions in the creation of this production, and examine the particular problems encountered in the making of this work, and reconstructs the creative process itself.
