Book Description
Like a King: Casting Shakespeare’s Histories for Citizens and Subjects is a dual examination of Shakespeare’s history plays in their early modern production contexts and of the ways the histories can speak directly to twenty-first-century American political and social concerns. Author and production director Christina Gutierrez-Dennehy examines how strategic doubled and re-gendered casting can animate the underlying questions of Richard II, Henry V, and King John in vital and immediate ways for American audiences. Examining evidence from both the archive and the rehearsal room, Gutierrez-Dennehy explores the texts as repositories for dialogues about power, gender, identity, nationhood, and leadership. With the American political system as its backdrop, Like a King argues that productions of Shakespeare’s histories can interrogate and explore the relationships between citizens, subjects, and their leaders.

Pages : 110
Book Description
My prayer is that men and women will be inspired to evaluate their purpose and how it can be a compliment to each other. God's creation of man and woman transcends gender. This book is not to debate this because God has already provided us the master plan for that. It is not my assignment to rehash and regurgitate the current debate about gender issues. However, God's download to me may challenge views on this social and moral issue. When a man is aligned with their Creator's plan, every facet of that man will be in order. After reading this devotional, my prayer is that men will claim their inheritance as a king. As a result they will be empowered to make a positive impact in their families, communities, and churches. Likewise, I hope that the queens in their lives will have a deeper appreciation and burden to support them in their newly or reclaimed role. Together, the kings and queens will reflect God's true love for mankind, ultimately demonstrating virtuous men and women!
