Even before he had an... «Shakespeare: A Life»
innashpitzberg16 сентября 2013Even before he had an indoor stage, he had begun the series which includes Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest. These plays are naïvely presentational, conciliatory in mood, less gestured and less emphatically structured than anything he had done before. They recall Tudor dramatic romances of his youth, as well as the miracle works of late medieval times. Why does he seem to reach back? In avoiding the limits of modern realism, logic, and literalness he might use his art to exploit rich areas of popular romance. But there is something more personal in his aims, if one judges from his insistent return to variations upon only a few themes. From the time of King Lear, he appears to have drawn on an effort he was making to set himself right with people he cared for, and perhaps to overcome some aspects of estrangement in his absences from home.
