While many industries the world over suddenly stalled, including our own theatre industry, there was one constant: education. The resilience of teachers was tested more than ever before. New technologies were adopted, teachers learned alongside students, and persevered under the most challenging of circumstances. And we feel that the world finally understood the amazing and vital work that teachers do (something we’ve known all along). We adapted as well – instead of performing in theatres and schools, we digitised programs, learnt new technologies, shared content, and created a wealth of new programs that would best support you in this new ‘normal.’ Our entire company adapted to support education, so in many ways, you have kept us going during this time. There have been many silver linings, alongside the myriad challenges. We’ll make permanent changes to the way we operate because of this year, meaning more access for all. And yet, none of this innovation and new findings will ever match the ‘real thing’ – when we can get back into theatres and schools and see you all again, face-to-face. The future is still unclear, but we must move forward. Our 2021 program includes a range of opportunities for you and your students, in person and online. From the return of The Players and the popular Bell Shakespeare Shorts Festival, to our brand new online National Teacher Conference, we couldn’t be more excited. Wherever we meet you next, we can’t wait. Peter Evans Artistic Director 5 Bell Shakespeare Secondary 2021 6 WE COME TO YOU 2 IN PERSON OR ONLINE Whatever your situation in 2021, Bell Shakespeare has a wealth of resources and programs to support you and your students, in person or online.

King Edward IV is newly declared King, but his youngest brother, Richard (Gloucester) is resentful of Edward’s power and the general happiness of the state. Driven by ruthless ambition and embittered by his own deformity, he initiates a secret plot to take the throne by eradicating anyone who stands in his path. Richard has King Edward suspect their brother Clarence of treason and he is brought to the Tower by Brackenbury. Richard convinces Clarence that Edward’s wife, Queen Elizabeth, and her brother Rivers, are responsible for this slander and Hastings’ earlier imprisonment. Richard swears sympathy and allegiance to Clarence, but later has him murdered. Richard then interrupts the funeral procession of Henry VI to woo Lady Anne (previously betrothed to Henry VI’s deceased son, again killed by Richard). He falsely professes his love for her as the cause of his wrong doings, and despite her deep hatred for Richard, she is won and agrees to marry him.

  • Antony and Cleopatra at a Glance
    BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE DIRECTED BY PETER EVANS A HANDY GUIDE TO BLUFFING YOUR WAY THROUGH BY ANDY MCLEAN Bell Shakespeare Antony and Cleopatra SPEED Mark Antony, Octavius Caesar and Lepidus jointly rule the Roman Empire. But while Antony’s head should be READ in Roman politics his heart lies in Alexandria and with A quick flick through Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt. Antony and Cleopatra The romance infuriates Octavius, who thinks that Antony is neglecting his duties to Rome. And so, to appease his political ally, Antony agrees to marry Octavius’ sister Octavia. But as soon as Octavia’s back is turned, Antony shoots through to Egypt and shacks up again with Cleopatra. Now Octavius is really riled. He declares war on Antony – on the whole of Egypt – and fortune and Antony part here. The former friends battle it out at sea and Antony looks set to win until Cleopatra suddenly flees and a lovesick Antony follows suit. The victorious Octavius offers Cleopatra a peace deal in exchange for Antony’s life but Antony intervenes before she can accept. Antony triumphs in a subsequent battle against Octavius, but the third battle really is no charm. Antony’s soldiers abandon him fearing bad omens and Antony is roundly defeated. Our hero blames his leading lady, believing Cleopatra sold him out to Octavius, but in reality? Never was there a queen so mightily betrayed. In a rage, Antony threatens to kill Cleopatra but she retreats to her tomb and sends word that she has saved him the job and killed herself. Heartbroken, Antony falls on his sword but can’t quite, for the love of love, seem to get it right.

  • Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, Including Cartography, 1985–2016 This Bibliography Surveys Scholarship Publ
    Recent Studies of Book Illustration and Engraving, including Cartography, 1985–2016 This bibliography surveys scholarship published between 1985–2016 on engraving, including illustrations, prints, and emblems, as well as cartography, during the long eighteenth century (roughly 1650–1820). The focus is on Europe and the Americas, but some of Asian developments, particularly Japanese, have been included. The bibliography is most inclusive for the years 1990-2014, in consequence of my compiling studies from those years for Section 1— "Printing and Bibliographical Studies"—of the ECCB: The Eighteenth-Century Current Bibliography. A shorter version of this list without cartographic materials appeared in The East- Central Intelligencer, n.s. 15, no. 1 (January 2001), 58-77. Then an intermediate version appeared at Kevin Berland's C18-L website. During 2015–17, I expanded the list four times, with it now reaching 236 pages in typescript. The bibliography includes cartography (particularly the printed products of map-making), but excellent annual surveys of cartographic publications have been compiled by Francis Herbert, Wouter Bracke, and Nick Millea for Imago Mundi (entered under their names below). It lists dissertations and reviews for books. Focused on printed sources, it fails to note some valuable electronic sources, such as Juliette Sodt's website on illustration in botanical books, <www. library.wwu.edu/ref/subjguides/BOTILL.htm>, and many exhibition catalogues posted on the web by museums (only some recent exhibitions are included). Also, some studies in my bibliography of children’s literature at BibSite, as those on chapbooks, could also have been placed into this bibliography on engraving but were not.

  • Performing Shakespeare and Aboriginality in Australia
    Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 8 (23), 2011 71 DOI: 10.2478/v10224-011-0006-5 Emma Cox “What’s past is prologue”: Performing Shakespeare and Aboriginality in Australia “Come unto these yellow sands, / And then take hands” —The Tempest (1.2.375-76) At the beginning of the second Act of The Tempest, Antonio compels Sebastian to his murderous purpose, perceiving distance from civilization and conventional political power, not to mention an heir-apparent, as a rationale for immediate action: “what’s past is prologue” (2.1.253). The theatrical metaphor is, for Antonio, a means by which to assert his mastery over history. However, as the play unfolds and the past makes its claim upon the protagonists, Antonio’s words echo as a reminder of history’s continual presence, its inextricable implication in the contemporary world as it is made and remade. The entanglement of history and presence forms the context of the Australian performances of Shakespeare I examine here. These works are informed by the cultural and territorial dispossession, as well as the ongoing strategies of resistance, that since colonization have conditioned the lived realities of Aboriginal Australians. In keeping with a pattern established in the early days of British settlement, performances of Shakespeare’s plays are a staple of many Australian theatrical calendars. Increasingly, and often at their most effective, these performances transact within and for their local contexts, negotiating contemporary Australian cultures and identities. In light of the solid body of so-called alternative or revisionist Shakespeare scholarship, particularly in the area of postcolonialism —the critical basis of John Golder and Richard Madeleine’s observation, “Aboriginal Australians have good reasons to be suspicious of the ‘ideological work’ Shakespeare can be ‘made to perform’” (9)—it is striking to consider that “Aboriginalized” performances have provided some of the most innovative and important Shakespearean theatre in Australia in recent years.

Inside the glamorous court of Denmark in the 1960s, a family is torn apart by murder and betrayal. Outside, a country is threatened by Norway. And at the centre of this struggle is a young man brimming with anguish. Featuring Harriet Gordon-Anderson as Hamlet and the multi award-winning star of stage and screen Lisa McCune as Hamlet’s mother Gertrude, this is a portrait of a young man struggling with the death of his father, his mother’s hasty remarriage to his uncle, and the vision of his father’s ghost looming in his mind’s eye. Gordon-Anderson was last on the Bell Shakespeare stage in The Miser in 2019. This will be McCune’s first production with the Company. Joining them on stage will be Jeremi Campese, Tony Cogin, Jack Crumlin, James Evans, James Lugton, Jane Mahady, Robert Menzies, Sophie Wilde and Aanisa Vylet. Peter Evans said, “We decided to do Hamlet in 2020 because it’s Bell Shakespeare’s 30th anniversary. It was the first work Bell Shakespeare ever staged, and what better time to revisit what is arguably Shakespeare’s most famous play? “Hamlet is an astonishing work of art.
