This short history of Shakespeare in global performance-from the re-opening of London theatres upon the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 to our present multicultural day-provides a comprehensive overview of Shakespeare's theatrical afterlife and introduces categories of analysis and understanding to make that afterlife intellectually meaningful.

This book-length study of British theatre historiography will interest all scholars of British theatre - not just historians - because of its emphasis on debates about disciplinary practice. The book's wide scope and deep archival research means that it will remain the standard work in the field for many years. It will become an essential point of reference for theatre scholars generally.
