This book begins at the Globe Theatre, describing performances there and at the Blackfriars as we know or conjecture them to have been from historical documents. Eighteenth-century tastes were different, and the author shows how Shakespeare's plays were adapted and often considerably altered over the following centuries. Speaight recreates famous productions from the United States, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.
