What does it mean to study Shakespeare within a multicultural society? And who has the power to transform Shakespeare? The Diverse Bard explores how Shakespeare has been adapted by artists born on the margins of the Empire; and how actors of Asian and African-Caribbean origin are being cast by white mainstream directors. It examines how notions of race define the contemporary British experience; including the demands of traditional theatre; and it looks at both the playtexts themselves and contemporary productions. Editor Delia Jarrett-Macauley assembles a stunning collection of classic texts and new scholarship by leading critics and practitioners; to provide the first comprehensive critical and practical analysis of this field.
