This study explores the relationship between performances of Shakespeare’s plays and the ways in which they engage with traumatic events and histories. It investigates the ethical and political implications of attempts to represent trauma in performance, and interrogates a range of narratives about Shakespeare, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, colonization and violence.
