Résumé

From the aftermath of the Second World War to the convulsions of Brexit, festivals have deployed Shakespeare m a model of inclusive and progressive theatre to seek cultural solutions to Europe's multi-faceted crises. Shakespeare on European Festival Stages is the first book to chan Shakespeare's presence at continental European festivals. It examines the role these festivals play in European socio-cultural exchanges, and the impact festivals make on the wider production and circulation of staged Shakespeare across the continent.
This collection offers authoritative, lively and informed accounts of the production of Shakespeare at the following festivals : the Avignon Festival and Le Printemps des Comédiens in Montpellier (France), the Almagro Festival (Spain), Shakespeare at Four Cardes (Czech Republic and Slovakia), the International Shakespeare Festival in Craiova (Romania) and the Shakespeare festivals in Elsinore (Denmark), Gdansk (Poland), Gyula (Hungary), Itaka (Serbia), Neuss (Germany), Paralenitsa (Bulgaria), Rome and Verona (Italy).
Shakespeare on European Festival Stages is essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners interested in Shakespeare in performance, in translation and in a post- national Shakespeare that knows no borders and belongs to all of Europe.
