Shakespeare's performance and his Globe Theatre
- Performance Bibliographies
- Performance Galleries
Shakespeare in performance is now a core interest for all Shakespeareans: students, scholars, theatre professionals, and general audiences - anyone with a love of Shakespeare. We seek to provide a survey of current information, opinions and visuals about such staging by registering the best available explorations of the original nature of Shakespearean performance during his lifetime, and of its development through four centuries thereafter. The site is under continuous revision and expansion, currently involving additions to our 1,000 still images, in the form of numerous video extracts of live performances concerning Shakespeare.
