商品描述

This book explores how productions of Shakespearean plays create meaning in specific communities, with special attention to issues of access, adaptation, and activism. Instead of focusing on large professional companies, it analyzes performances put on by community theatres and grassroots companies, and in applied drama projects. It looks at Shakespearean productions created by marginalized populations in Greater London, Harlem, and Los Angeles, a Hamlet staged in the remote Faroe Islands, and eco-theatre made in California's Yosemite National Park. The book investigates why different communities perform Shakespeare, and what challenges, opportunities, and triumphs accompany the processes of theatrical production for both the artists and the communities in which they are embedded.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討莎士比亞戲劇的製作如何在特定社群中創造意義，特別關注可及性、改編和行動主義等議題。書中並不專注於大型專業劇團，而是分析社區劇院和草根公司以及應用戲劇項目所呈現的表演。它考察了在大倫敦、哈萊姆和洛杉磯的邊緣化族群創作的莎士比亞製作，還有在遙遠的法羅群島上演的《哈姆雷特》，以及在加州優勝美地國家公園製作的生態劇。該書調查了不同社群為何演出莎士比亞作品，以及在戲劇製作過程中，藝術家和他們所嵌入的社群所面臨的挑戰、機會和勝利。
