Filming Shakespeare's plays : the adaptations of Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Peter Brook and Akira Kurosawa / Anthony Davies. Reprinted edition. Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1991. xiii, 219 pages : illustrations, 1 plan ; 24 cm text txt rdacontent unmediated n rdamedia volume nc rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index. Davies begins his study with a comparison of theatrical and cinematic space showing that the dramatic resources of cinema are essentially spatial. Central chapters focus on Welles' Macbeth, Othello, and Chimes at Midnight; Olivier's Henry V, Hamlet, and Richard III; Brook's King Lear; and Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. Davies then discusses the dramatic problems the sources for these films pose for the film maker and he examines how these films influenced later theatrical stagings. The book concludes by exploring the demands that distinguish the work of a Shakespearean stage actor from his counterpart's in film. Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616 Film adaptations.
