Description
Shakespeare's plays are permeable to the contexts in which they are performed: they take on and speak to local concerns. Ours as We Play it takes a close look at several contemporary Australian productions of three Shakespeare plays; exploring masculinity and madness in Hamlet, the role of landscape and the multiple roles of Rosalind in As You Like It, and hierarchies of gender and social order re-imagined in relation to Australian understandings of power in A Midsummer Night's Dream.
