This edited collection offers the first in-depth analysis and
sourcebook for ‘Lockdown Shakespeare’. It brings together
scholars of stage, screen, early modern and adaptation studies to
examine the work that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic and
considers issues of form, liveness, reception, presence and
community. Interviews with theatre makers and artists illuminate
the challenges and benefits of creating new work online, while
educators consider how digital tools have facilitated the teaching
of Shakespeare through performance. Together, the chapters in this
book offer readers the definitive work on the performance and
adaptation of Shakespeare online during the pandemic. From The Show
Must Go Online, which presented Shakespeare’s First Folio via
YouTube, to Creation Theatre and Big Telly’s interactive The
Tempest and Macbeth, which used Zoom as their stage, the book
documents the variety and richness of work that emerged during the
pandemic. It reveals how, by taking Shakespeare online in new and
innovative ways, the theatre industry sparked the evolution of new
forms of performance with their own conventions, aesthetics and
notions of liveness. Among the other productions discussed are
Arden Theatre Company’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Tender
Claws’ ‘The Under Presents: Tempest’, The Shakespeare
Ensemble’s What You Will, Merced Shakespearefest’s Ricardo II,
CtrlAltRepeat’s Midsummer Night Stream, Sally McLean’s
Shakespeare Republic: #AllTheWebsAStage (The Lockdown Chronicles)
and Justina Taft Mattos’s Moore – A Pacific Island Othello.
