Shakespeare on the Global Stage
Performance and Festivity in the Olympic Year
«Shakespeare on the Global Stage is a timely and insightful collection… it raises crucial questions that will be central to any future attempt to bring Shakespeare, and the arts more generally, to wider audiences nationwide.»

From his prominent positioning in the Olympic and Paralympic ceremonies, to his major presence in the cultural programme surrounding the Games, including the Royal Shakespeare Company's World Shakespeare Festival and the Globe's Globe to Globe Festival, Shakespeare played a major role in the way the UK presented itself to its citizens and to the world.
