Title: Performance Shakespeare 2016

URL: http://performanceshakespeare2016.org/

Description: This project captures performances of Shakespeare worldwide from January 1 to December 31, 2016. It gathers information about the theatres, companies, productions, audiences, policies and people involved in presenting Shakespeare in the anniversary year. Each entry will include information about the companies, the creative teams, the productions, venues, audience data and funding. The range of materials will encompass production videos and photographs, marketing (programmes, press packs, video trailers, posters, social media) and interviews. Contextual information for each entry will involve an overview of the production and reception of Shakespeare locally and regionally. This addresses Shakespeare’s presence in institutions (schools, universities, repertory theatres) and popular culture as well as familiarity with Shakespeare. Entries will look at other local writers, poets and playwrights who share cultural recognition and popularity.
