Sobre IBD

This brief monograph explores why the Shakespeare authorship question matters in the appreciation of the plays. First, a new understanding of a complex play like Troilus and Cressida emerges as the focus shifts to the court of Elizabeth I where the author was writing a social, political, and personal satire addressed to the power elite. Second, an understanding of the original staging of the play shifts from the large, open-air, thrust theatre of the Globe to the more intimate theatrical space of the court. Troilus and Cressida has confused audiences for centuries. A new and clear understanding is possible when the layers of the author’s satirical purposes are uncovered.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
