Description

Winner of the ASLE-UKI 2022 Book Prize From The Pastoral Players’ 1884 performance of As You Like It to contemporary site-specific productions activist interventions, there is a rich history of open air performances of Shakespeare’s plays beyond their early modern origins. Weathering Shakespeare reveals how new insights from the environmental humanities can transform our understanding of this popular performance practice. Drawing on audience accounts of outdoor productions of those plays most commonly chosen for open air performance – including A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tempest – the book examines how performers and audiences alike have reacted to unpredictable natural environments.
