Shakespeare and Digital Performance in Practice explores the impact of
digital technologies on the theatrical performance of Shakespeare in
the twenty-first century, both in terms of widening cultural access
and developing new forms of artistry. Through close analysis of dozens
of productions, both high-profile and lesser known, it examines the
rise of live broadcasting and recording in the theatre, the growing
use of live video feeds and dynamic projections on the mainstream
stage, and experiments in born-digital theatre-making, including
social media, virtual reality, and video-conferencing adaptations. In
doing so, it argues that technologically adventurous performances of
Shakespeare allow performers and audiences to test what they believe
theatre to be, as well as to reflect on what it means to be
present—with a work of art, with others, with oneself—in an
increasingly online world.
