Making Shakespeare Material w/ Dr. Elizabeth Tavares & Dr. Angeline Morris

We usually encounter the plays of William Shakespeare in their First Folio form. But, what scripts did Shakespeare's actors use originally? And how did they rehearse their shows? We explore the historical and material conditions of performing Shakespeare in his own day--and how to bring that experience to university students today.Episode Links:The Alabama Shakespeare ProjectThe Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation ProjectA working bibliography performance-based research into early theatre
