The year is 1616. William Shakespeare has just died and the world
of the London theatres is mourning his loss. 1616 also saw the
death of the famous Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu. Four hundred
years on and Shakespeare is now an important meeting place for
Anglo-Chinese cultural dialogue in the field of drama studies. In
June 2014 (the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare's birth), SOAS, The
Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and the National Chung Cheng
University of Taiwan gathered 20 scholars together to reflect on
the theatrical practice of four hundred years ago and to ask: what
does such an exploration mean culturally for us today? This
ground-breaking study offers fresh insights into the respective
theatrical worlds of Shakespeare and Tang Xianzu and asks how the
brave new theatres of 1616 may have a vital role to play in the
intercultural dialogue of our own time.
