by Arthur Horowitz
- 1 Want to read
"Prospero's "True Preservers" is a performance study and analysis of six productions of The Tempest (three by Peter Brooks, two by Giorgio Strehler, and one by Yukio Ninagawa), each performed in a different decade since World War II, and employing four different languages (English, Italian, French, and Japanese). This study explores the ways in which each of these productions reflects the historic period and cultural milieu in which it was mounted. At the same time, it documents how Brook, Ninagawa, and Strehler adapted and applied African storytelling techniques, textual deconstruction, traditional Japanese art and theatrical forms, and Italian stage tradition to the performance of Shakespeare and investigates how these three directors' diverse applications to the same canonical work have contributed to the development of the modern stage director."--BOOK JACKET.
