It is a great privilege to gather and share stories on this beautiful territory, which has been the site of human activity — and therefore storytelling — for many thousands of years. We wish to honour the ancestral guardians of this land and its waterways: the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Wendat, and the Attiwonderonk. Today many Indigenous peoples continue to call this land home and act as its stewards, and this responsibility extends to all peoples, to share and care for this land for generations to come.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival commissioned 36 playwrights and paired them with dramaturgs to translate 39 plays attributed to Shakespeare into contemporary modern English between the fall of 2015 and December 31, 2018. Additionally, the program commissioned two exciting Shakespearean adaptations. By seeking out a diverse set of playwrights (more than half writers of color and more than half women), it hoped to bring fresh voices and perspectives to the rigorous work of translation. Each playwright was asked to put the same pressure and rigor on language as Shakespeare did on his, keeping in mind meter, rhythm, metaphor, image, rhyme, rhetoric and emotional content. The hope was to have 39 unique side-by-side companion translations of Shakespeare’s plays that were both performable and extremely useful reference texts for both classrooms and productions.
