UPDATE: Shakespeare on Location (UK) (3/25/05; BSA, 9/1/05-9/4/05)

Shakespeare on Location

New deadline for proposals: 25 March 2005
1-4 September 2005 (BSA Conference)

What is the relationship between performance location and play-world setting?
Increasingly, Shakespeare's plays are being performed in "alternative" or non-traditional
settings, in parks, on beaches, in forest clearings. In addition, the performance of
Shakespeare's plays in Asia, Africa, South America and Eastern Europe is another
aspect of how Shakespeare's plays are now being performed in an increasing variety
of locations. Issues to be explored may include how these performance spaces affect
audience understanding of the play world and what adaptation is required for a play to
be performed in a particular space.

This seminar welcomes all approaches to the relationship between theatre
location and play-world setting. Please send proposals of 300 words or less to
