The New York Times, Craig R. Whitney, August 6, 1989
Edinburgh International Festival , Edinburgh, 1989 -
The most controversial part of the festival this year is likely to be a West German ballet, Johann Kresnik's and Gottfried Helnwein's ''Macbeth,'' performed by the Bremer Theater from Bremen Aug. 15 to 17. This production is described in the festival literature as ''blood-boltered and violent, full of sadomasochistic images,'' and inspired not only by the Shakespeare tragedy but also by the more recent mysterious death of a West German politician in Schleswig-Holstein... |

Synopsis
Each volume is devoted to a theme, or play, or group of plays; each also contains a section of reviews of the previous year's textual and critical studies and of major British performances. The books are illustrated with a variety of Shakespearean images and production photographs. The current editor of Survey is Peter Holland. The first eighteen volumes were edited by Allardyce Nicoll, numbers 19-33 by Kenneth Muir and numbers 34-52 by Stanley Wells. The virtues of accessible scholarship and a keen interest in performance, from Shakespeare's time to our own, have characterised the journal from the start. For the first time, numbers 1-50 are being reissued in paperback, available separately and as a set.
