Designing Shakespeare has been developed to help students and scholars gain a greater understanding of the work of theatre designers working in Britain during the last forty years of the twentieth century. It has also been designed to illustrate the vast range of possible interpretations of Shakespeare's work.
This audio-visual database contains four distinct elements.
1. A text database of production details and excerpts from theatre reviews which refer to design.
2. An image database of production photographs selected from the archives of the theatre photographers Donald Cooper and Tom Holte and from the archive of costume designer and lecturer in design, Janet Arnold.
3. A collection of video interviews conducted by Dr. Christie Carson with a number of important designers.
4. A collection of VRML models of the key theatres spaces in Stratford and London where Shakespeare has been performed, developed by theatre designer Chris Dyer.
