Resumo

Após a morte de William Shakespeare em 1616 e o segundo incêndio de seu teatro – o Globe – as apresentações de suas peças declinaram. Porém, com a inaugur ação do Drury Lane (teatro que herdou os direitos de suas peças) ocorreu um reavivamento e uma nova geração de diretores artísticos, atores, atrizes, coreógrafos, regentes e compositores se envolveram em suas produções. Elegemos uma de suas comédias – As You Like It [Como Gostais], e a canção “Blow, blow thou winter winde”, composta por Thomas Augustine Arne, com refrão de William Linley, para narrar e explicar esse momentum.

The case of “Blow, blow thou winter winde” – a song by William Shakespeare for As You Like It

After the death of William Shakespeare in 1616 and the fire of his theater – The Globe, the performances of his plays declined. However, with the opening of the Drury Lane (the theater that inherited the rights of his plays), a revival took place and a new generation of artistic directors, actors, actresses, choreographers, conductors and compose rs engaged in its production. We chose one of his comedies – As You Like It – and the song “Blow, blow thou winter winde”, composed by Thomas Augustine Arne, with a refrain by William Linley, to narrate and explain this momentum.
