Directing Shakespeare : a scholar onstage
"An impossible question from a Chinese actor - "Why is Shakespeare eternal?"--Drove Sidney Homan after fifty years in the theater to ponder just what makes Shakespeare ... well, Shakespeare. The result, Directing Shakespeare, reflects the two worlds in which Homan operates - as a scholar and teacher on campus, and as a director and actor in professional and university theaters." "Professor Sidney Homan's concern is the entire process, beginning in the lonely period when the director develops a concept, and moving into increasingly larger realms: interaction with designers; rehearsals; and performances in which the audience's response further shapes the play."
