- Double-weighted statement
- This is the first study of every professional Shakespeare production by the seminal director Peter Hall. The book required an extensive period of primary research including the study of prompt books, production materials, videos and rare audio recordings located in archives across the UK and US. This monograph has a wide scope, shedding new light on Hall’s work as a director by placing it in a historical and cultural context that encompasses the late 1950s to the early 2000s. The monograph adds valuable chapters on Hall’s later work and offers new perspectives on his work with designers and dramaturgs.

- Additional information
- There is c.15% overlap with a book chapter submitted in 2014. That was a concise overview of Peter Hall’s career up to 1987. Apart from a 2,000 word discussion of Hall’s Antony and Cleopatra, this monograph is a largely new piece of work. I have done extensive and thorough research with much longer discussions of productions I highlighted briefly in 2014 together with entirely new material on productions not mentioned before. The introduction together with Chapters Six and Seven (20,000 words) are new, covering all of Hall’s post-1987 work and framing the research with a different argument and fresh conclusions.
