Performing Environments
Imagining a production in the churchyard of All Saints in Croxton, East Anglia, the essay draws on recent advances in cognitive science to illustrate how embodied experience of The Play of the Sacrament might have affected an audience’s relationship with the site of performance. The author argues that the first half of the play distracts from the spiritual and communal associations of both site and Eucharist, implicating the spectators in the Hos…

L'auteur de cet article montre que Shakespeare fait allusion à ces débats au…

The Shakespeareans who contributed to the session "Shakespeare.com" at the Shakespeare World Congress in Valencia, Spain in the spring of 2001, however, were impressive in this regard. One of the chairs of that session, Christie Carson, is the co-editor with Jacky Bratton of the CD-ROM reviewed here. The disk invites scholars …
