About the book
"From The Pastoral Players' 1884 performance of As You Like It to contemporary productions in London's Regents Park, there is a rich history of open air performances of Shakespeare's plays. Weathering Shakespeare reveals how new insights from the environmental humanities can transform our understanding of this popular performance practice.
