Tackling vital issues of politics, identity and experience in
performance, this book asks what Shakespeare's plays mean when
extended beyond the English language. From April to June 2012 the
Globe to Globe Festival offered the unprecedented opportunity to
see all of Shakespeare's plays performed in many different world
languages. Thirty-eight productions from around the globe were
presented in six weeks as part of the World Shakespeare Festival,
which formed a cornerstone of the Cultural Olympics. This book
provides the only complete critical record of that event, drawing
together an internationally renowned group of scholars of
Shakespeare and world theatre with a selection of the UK's most
celebrated Shakespearean actors. Featuring a foreword by Artistic
Director Dominic Dromgoole and an interview with the Festival
Director Tom Bird, this volume highlights the energy and dedication
that was necessary to mount this extraordinary cultural experiment.
