William Shakespeare: Complete Collection of Comedies, Histories & Tragedies | Classic Literature Books for Students, Teachers & Theater Lovers | Perfect for Study, Gift & Performance Inspiration

Many years of research and preparation went into this beautiful production in order to honour Shakespeare's words and the beauty and artistic value and importance of Sign Language (ASL is used in this production).The attention to detail in the text and the marrying of its meaning to sign and gesture further proves that Shakespeare's imagery and word-play live and thrive in visual poetry. Sign Language means for us and the actors an embodied visual language and performance which only magnifies the incredible attributes of all of Shakespeare's characters and their idiosyncrasies. The spoken performances of the text are incredible.If only more companies and productions would do the same. I feel students and lovers of Shakespeare, let alone any play, would find themselves more informed and moved by the marriage of sign and text.I wish more people would view and appreciate productions such as this one. I was delighted to find and own it.
