Accordingly, \u003cem\u003eShakespeare in the Theatre: Shakespeare Theatre Company\u003c\/em\u003e not only examines directorial decision-making but also three decades of social and economic change in the nation’s capital, from the complexities of gentrification to the arts policies of successive administrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to discussions of directorial practice, this book examines the ambivalence of American theatre artists toward their British cultural inheritance.
