Since its formation in 1997, Propeller has developed both popular and critical appeal, establishing itself as one of the most prominent Shakespeare companies in the United Kingdom. Combining modern cultural references, music, eclectic design, and a unique use of an onstage choric presence, Propeller is able to connect modern audiences to Shakespeare's plays by creating energetic, physical productions that are firmly grounded in the texts. This book explores the ways in which Propeller's evolution is integrated with its productions in performance and provides a record of this unique contributor to contemporary Shakespearean performance.
