Abstract
The company’s small repertoire of Shakespeare productions draws on some ideological practices rooted in early modern and post-modern/punk performance traditions, some methodological practices contained within the broad church of actor training, and the academic practice of close reading. Through performances and workshops PRG explores how action, transaction, and space function in the performance of early modern and post-modern drama. The result is a performance style which refreshes the connection between scholarship and stagecraft, between criticism and creativity, and which pushes at the edges of the relationship between actor and audience in early modern dramatic writing.
