AB  - Examines the relationship between Shakespeare's history plays, their historical contexts, Brechtian and neo-Brechtian productions of the plays in the 1960s, and Benedict Andrews' War of the Roses (q.v.), arguing that the Brechtian stagings invite materialist readings of the politics and violence while Andrews' relate sovereign authority to the suffering and abject body. English summary, 91.
