Shakespeare in Performance. Shakespear was a popular playwright in his own day, and at most subsequent periods in our theatre his main works have been regularly staged. A critical approach to Shakespear based on a study of the plays as works to be performed os illuminating in itself, and can also be an antidote to that kind of literary criticism which occasionally conveys insights and nuances which no actor or director could communicate to an audience. All students of Shakespear should have a general notion of the stage conditions of Elizabethan times because this knowledge helps to explain the form the play takes on the printed page. It is desirable that readers of Shakespear should also be playgoers or have experience of his works on film or television, since this gives them some understanding of how individual texts work in performance today. Familiarity with Shakespear' s fortunes on the stage between his day and own is less important, but the stage history of a particular play or a group of plays sometimes sheds fresh light on the characters and their interplay, or reminds us that a scene that makes dull reading has been found significant or memorable in a past performance.
