This book examines his achievements as a director of Shakespeare within the wider context of debates on the cultural politics of Britain's theatrical institutions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His approach has been marked by the combination of close textual analysis with inventive theatricality, in performance spaces ranging from the large stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre to the intimacy of the companies' studio theatres. The principal focus of the book is on Nunn's work as director of Shakespeare during his artistic directorship of the RSC and the NT. The four core chapters focus in detail on major productions that can be said to have challenged and changed perceptions of the plays, including \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e (RSC, 1969), the 'Roman Plays' season (RSC, 1972) and\u003ci\u003e All's Well That Ends Well\u003c\/i\u003e (RSC, 1982), and the studio productions of \u003ci\u003eMacbeth \u003c\/i\u003e(RSC 1976), Othello (RSC, 1989) and \u003ci\u003eThe Merchant of Venice\u003c\/i\u003e (NT, 1999). The study draws on archive material, as well as reviews and other published commentary, including that of actors who have worked with him.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRussell Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Drama at the University of Birmingham, UK.
