    The essays in Playing Shakespeare’s Villains trouble our assumptions of what—and who—constitutes "villainy" in Shakespeare’s works, through probing and provocative analyses of the murky moral logics at play in the Bard’s oeuvre. Shakespeare spreads before us a panoply of evil, villainy, and amorality—of characters doing bad things for good reasons, bad things for bad reasons, and bad things for no reason at all. How does Shakespeare handle culpability and consequence? How much does he justify his villains’ actions? How much do we enjoy watching people get away with murder and mayhem? What are we to make of the moral universe that Shakesperare presents: a universe in which some villains are punished and others seem to be rewarded; where mischief can quickly turn violent; and where an entire world can be brought down by someone’s willful insistence on having one’s way? Questions like these animate the discussions in this lively volume, the second in the Playing Shakespeare’s Characters series.

    Playing Shakespeare’s Monarchs and Madmen is the third volume in the Peter Lang series, Playing Shakespeare’s Characters. As in the previous volumes, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of monarchy, leadership, melancholy and madness with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Trump, Brexit, cross-gender and multi-cultural casting. What does it mean to “play the king” in the 21st century? What is the role of an “all-licensed” Fool in the age of spin? Who gets to represent the power dynamics in Shakespeare’s plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Richards, Hamlets, Lears and various other dukes and monarchs and explores the ways in which men—and women—approach these portrayals of power and the lessons they hold for us today.

    Playing Shakespeare’s Rebels and Tyrants is the fourth volume in the Peter Lang series, Playing Shakespeare’s Characters. As in the previous volumes, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of rebellion, tyranny, leadership, empathy with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Donald Trump, the social justice movement, and the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Shakespeare's rebels occupy space in both the personal and political, and often quickly turn from rebel to tyrant once in power. How can Shakespeare's text inform current conversations about race, equity, representation, rebellion and tyranny? Who gets to define the power dynamics in Shakespeare’s plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Hotspurs, Richards, Lears, Brutuses and Caesars, as well as the Juliets, Rosalinds and Cordelias who make up the panoply of Shakespeares rebels and tyrants.

"When we speak of Shakespeare's 'villains' we think we know who comes immediately to mind: Iago, Richard III, Edmund in Lear, Aaron the Moor, Lady Macbeth, etc. People who do bad things to nice people. But what about Macbeth, Caliban, Regan & Goneril? Evil? Victims? What about Bolingbroke and Margaret? Puck? Is Cassius a villain? Leontes? What makes a villain, as opposed to a monster, crook, or scoundrel? When does villainy descend into "evil"? Is vengeance evil? Is intent enough? Does the body count matter? Is bad kingship evil? Where do Shakespeare's fathers fit on this spectrum? Shakespeare spreads before us a panoply of evil, villainy and amorality - of characters doing bad things for good reasons, bad things for bad reasons, and bad things for no reason at all. What are we to make of this world view where some villains are punished and others seem to be rewarded; where mischievousness can quickly turn violent, and where an entire world can be brought down by someone's willful insistence on having one's way. This is the world explored in 'Playing Shakespeare's Villains,' the second in the series of 'Playing Shakespeare's Characters'"--

    ""Playing Shakespeare's Monarchs and Madmen" is the third volume in the Peter Lang series, "Playing Shakespeare's Characters." As in the previous volume, a broad range of contributors (actors, directors, scholars, educators, etc.) analyze the concepts of monarchy, leadership, melancholy and madness with not only references to Elizabethan and Jacobean studies, but also to Trump, Brexit, cross-gender and multi-cultural casting. What does it mean to "play the king" in the 21st Century? What is the role of an "all-licensed" Fool in the age of spin? Who gets to represent the power dynamics in Shakespeare's plays? This volume looks at the Henrys, Richards, Hamlets, Lears and various other Dukes and monarchs and explores the ways in which men - and women - approach these portrayals of power and the lessons they hold for us today"--

    ""Playing Shakespeare's Beautiful People" is an in-depth, comprehensive look at the concepts and standards of "beauty" found in Shakespeare's plays and poems, both in staged performances and in critical literary analyses. Issues as challenging as race, gender, sex and power come into play when discussing who or what is "beautiful" in Shakespeare - and who gets to make that determination. How do we address or perform "beauty" today in a manner that is both consistent with 21rst Century conceptions of diversity and equity, while still honoring the integrity of Shakespeare's texts, even as we interrogate them? In this volume, the fifth in the series of Playing Shakespeare's Characters, ten distinguished contributors, including Shakespearean scholars, art historians, playwrights, actors, philosophers, visual artists, and educators, bring their unique and provocative responses to Shakespeare's challenge for us to "look on beauty.""--

    Introduction : playing Shakespeare's villains : bloody, bawdy, remorseless, treacherous, lecherous / Louis Fantasia -- "Something wicked this way comes" : (re)locating the supernatural world of Macbeth / Janna Segal -- "A few drams of Eale" : an overview of evil in Shakespeare's plays / Timothy Harris -- "He that plays the king shall be welcome" / Armin Shimerman -- Damned, smiling villains : the pleasure of not caring / Brian Lohmann -- Edit Villareal behind closed doors : sex, lies and servants -- Iachimo : "By villainy I got this ring" / Louis Scheeder -- "Tis a vile thing to die" : teaching villainy in the public school classroom / Charmaine Cordero -- "Very fine people" / Louis Fantasia -- On the nature of evil / Clifford Librach. "When we speak of Shakespeare's 'villains' we think we know who comes immediately to mind: Iago, Richard III, Edmund in Lear, Aaron the Moor, Lady Macbeth, etc. People who do bad things to nice people. But what about Macbeth, Caliban, Regan & Goneril? Evil? Victims? What about Bolingbroke and Margaret? Puck? Is Cassius a villain? Leontes? What makes a villain, as opposed to a monster, crook, or scoundrel? When does villainy descend into "evil"? Is vengeance evil? Is intent enough? Does the body count matter? Is bad kingship evil? Where do Shakespeare's fathers fit on this spectrum? Shakespeare spreads before us a panoply of evil, villainy and amorality - of characters doing bad things for good reasons, bad things for bad reasons, and bad things for no reason at all. What are we to make of this world view where some villains are punished and others seem to be rewarded; where mischievousness can quickly turn violent, and where an entire world can be brought down by someone's willful insistence on having one's way. This is the world explored in 'Playing Shakespeare's Villains,' the second in the series of 'Playing Shakespeare's Characters'"--
