Orson Welles on Shakespeare: The W.P.A. and Mercury Theatre Playscripts Paperback - 2001

by Richard France (Editor)


From the publisher

This volume is the only publication available of the fully annotated playscripts of Wells' W.P.A Federal Theatre Project and Mercury Theatre adaptations, including the "Voodoo" Macbeth, the modern-dress Julius Caesar and Welles' compilation of history plays, Five Kings.

First line

In fashioning his text for the 'Voodoo' Macbeth, Welles, at the tender age of twenty, already showed himself to be a true descendent of the noblest tradition of Shakespearean adaptation.
