ABSTRACT
Fred Kiefer in “From Theatre to Classroom: Making Teaching Effective” speaks of productions that have changed his attitude toward Shakespeare. An All’s Well That Ends Well in 1981 by the Royal Shakespeare Company that combined the elegance of the era with a class consciousness and led to his adopting for his classes a play he had never liked before. Or how the director’s “visual imagination” in The Tempest revealed, for Kiefer, a new aspect of Shakespeare’s final play. This change in attitude is at one with the notion that the audience collaborates in the meaning of a performance.
