| Summary: | This Element examines why women makers from equity-owed communities (Indigenous, of color, deaf, disabled, trans and non-binary communities among others) choose to work with Shakespeare and his contemporaries at a moment in time when theatres around the world are striving toward equity, inclusion, diversity and decolonization. It details and explores these creators' processes to learn from them about how to transform plays we know all too well as patriarchy-affirming, ableist and often racist into vehicles for community storytelling and models for radically inclusive and difference-centered ways of making. |
