Shakespeare's Staged Spaces and Playgoers' Perceptions Reviews

Darlene Farabee's new book contributes to this investigation, considering not only how Shakespeare establishes locations in his plays, but also how his audience perceives the mapping of his stage. ... Farabee's book is clear and engaging, its prose often luminous, and the questions it raises about the disorienting effects of theatrical experience - and the ways Shakespeare reassures or relocates his audience - are intriguing ones. (Elizabeth Mazzola, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 68 (4), 2015)
