Enter the Body offers a series of provocative case studies of the work womens bodies do on Shakespeares intensely body-conscious stage. Rutters topics are sex; death; race; gender; culture; politics; and the excessive performative body that exceeds the playtext it inhabits. As well as drawing upon vital primary documents from Shakespeares day; Rutter offers close readings of womens performances on stage and film in Britian today; from Peggy Ashcrofts (white) Cleopatra and Whoopi Goldbergs (whiteface) African Queen to Sally Dexters languorous Helen and Alan Howards raver Queen of Troy.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. of which the Book of Snobs is the best example.By Gloria ValdesThis is a compilation of a very heterogeneous series of articles that refer to Paris. Some are too long. Fails to achieve the interest and humor of other series; of which the Book of Snobs is the best example.
