Review Quotes:
'A fine synthesis of current wisdom relating to the workings of Shakespeare's theatre - an area which has not always (or rarely so engagingly) presented the artistic implications of historical context ... Making Shakespeare is so sensible and clear that I hope teachers and others interested in the context of Shakespearean production will put it at the top of their reading lists.' -Times Literary Supplement
'Brings an alert critical intelligence to important questions, and draws on material which has rarely been reproduced elsewhere. There is plenty to engage the non-specialist and the specialist alike in this stimulating and occasionally contentious book.' -Around the Globe
