Here are some books in which I have a chapter.
On the casting of central female roles in Australasian Shakespeare, and instances when ethnically and racially marginalised actresses have taken centre stage, in the Palgrave Handbook of the History of Women on Stage. This includes interviews with several of the actresses.
On innovative methods for teaching Shakespeare to students and novice actors, “Teaching with Cue Scripts: Making the Most of Fear in the Student Actor”, in this book:
Teaching Shakespeare Beyond the Centre
On a feminist way to look at the presentation and reception of Shakespeare’s female characters (with a focus on Measure for Measure and Troilus and Cressida).
On the usefulness of guided play in children’s development, with reference to some of my testing out of working on Shakespeare with primary school age children (co-written with Marilyn Fleer):
Cultural Development of the Child in Role-Play
On some women who are currently directing Shakespeare in a variety of different theatrical situations:
Revisionism or Fresh Vision?
On the imperative towards happy endings in children’s narrative (co-written with Georgina Ledvinka):
And They All Lived Happily Ever After
See ‘My Books’ for my edition of Much Ado About Nothing for Arden Shakespeare Performance Editions.
