An impossible question from a Chinese actor—“Why is Shakespeare eternal?”—drove Sidney Homan after fifty years in the theater to ponder just what makes Shakespeare…well, Shakespeare.
Sidney Homan is a professor of English at the University of Florida as well as an actor and director. His books include When the Theater Turns to Itself, Shakespeare's Theatre of Presence, and Beckett's Theatres.
Sidney Homan has the unusual gift for a literary critic of being a
good story-teller, and so the moments of rehearsing and trying to
find how a complicated text can work on stage come through with
vividness and point...Any Shakespearean and any intellectually
curious actor or director would find substantial value and interest
in Directing Shakespeare.
