He is internationally known for  memorable productions of both drama and opera. His life-long companionship with Shakespeare began in 1970 when his innovative \u003ci\u003eRichard II\u003c\/i\u003e made the young director famous overnight and caused his translator to denounce him publicly as an iconoclast, for a production mixing “music-hall, circus, and pankration”. After this break, Chéreau read Shakespeare's texts assiduously, “line by line and word by word”, with another renowned poet, Yves Bonnefoy.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on new interviews with many of Chereau's collaborators, this study explores a unique theatre maker's interpretations of Shakespeare  in relation to the European tradition and to his wider body of work on stage and film, to establish his profound influence on other producers of Shakespeare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDominique Goy-Blanquet\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of Elizabethan Theatre at the University of Picardie, a member of the editorial board of \u003ci\u003eLa Quinzaine Littéraire\u003c\/i\u003e and a contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe Times Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e.
