Content:
"Shakespeare on European Festival Stages is the first book to chart Shakespeare's presence at European festivals and to examine the role these festivals play in European socio-cultural exchanges, while considering, in turn, the impact festivals have on the production and circulation of staged Shakespeare. This collection offers the most authoritative and informed accounts of a wide range of festivals hosted in 14 countries, including the Itaka Shakespeare Festival (Serbia), the Gdansk Shakespeare Festival (Poland), Shake-Nice! (France) and the Almago Festival (Spain). From the aftermath of World War II until now, festivals have deployed Shakespeare as a model of inclusive theatre to provide alternative answers to Europe's multi-faceted crises. This collection charts the history of Shakespeare appropriation in Europe in the 20th and 21st centuries through the framework of festivals. It provides a dialectical perspective on local and global, national and trans-national strategies of appropriation of Shakespeare, providing new angles from which to analyse his historical, cultural, political, diplomatic and ethical significance in Europe"--
