New Places: Shakespeare and Civic Creativity documents and analyses
the different ways in which a range of innovative projects take
Shakespeare out into the world beyond education and the theatre.
Mixing critical reflection on the social value of Shakespeare with
new creative work in different forms and idioms, the volume
triumphantly shows that Shakespeare can make a real contribution to
contemporary civic life. Highlights include: Garrick's 1769
Shakespeare ode, its revival in 2016, and a devised performance
interpretation of it; the full text of Carol Ann Duffy's A
Shakespeare Masque (set to music by Sally Beamish); a new
Shakespearean libretto inspired by Wagner; an exploration of the
civic potential of new Shakespeare opera and ballet; a fresh
Shakespeare-inspired poetic liturgy, including commissions by major
British poets; a production of The Merchant of Venice marking the
500th anniversary of the Venetian Jewish Ghetto; and a remaking of
Pericles as a response to the global migrant crisis.
