'This lively, diverse collection provides both a wide-ranging survey of contemporary pedagogical engagements with Shakespeare and a state-of-the-field overview of critical, theoretical, and practical work on Shakespeare and performance. It will be a valuable resource for all teachers, students, and theatre-makers who are interested in the origins and the future of the media and institutions through which we encounter, create, and disseminate Shakespeare's plays and new knowledge about them.' Jeremy Lopez, University of Toronto
