Edward Gordon Craig: The Revolutionary of the Theatre as Hamlet

Abstract

Gordon Craig wished to effect a revolution in the late Victorian theatre. To justify that rejection of the world of his parents (Ellen Terry, Edwin Godwin) and mentor (Henry Irving), he developed an obsessive identification with Hamlet, seeing himself chosen by destiny to use the power of the play to cleanse the world of evils.
