Death of the Actor Shakespeare on Page and Stage

In The Death of the Actor Martin Buzacott launches an all-out attack on contemporary theatrical practice and performance theory which identifies the actor, rather than the director, as the key creative force in the performance of Shakespeare. Because actors are absent from the site of Shakespearean meaning, he argues, the illusion of their centrality is sustained only by a rhetoric of heroism, violence and imperialism.Buzacott, Martin is the author of 'Death of the Actor Shakespeare on Page and Stage' with ISBN 9780415061483 and ISBN 0415061482.
