About

The Shakespeare Media Archive

This site collects performances of Shakespeare's plays and poems - as well as other related resources - for classroom use .  It is not comprehensive but aims to supplement other materials an instructor may already use.  As a centralized hub for a wide range of performances, it's designed to provide easy access for specific scenes when teaching, or studying, Shakespeare's works.

New material will be added periodically.  Interviews, videos on costuming and set design, and material on Shakespearean art and music will be given priority.

For those at NC State,  full productions may be found through 3 main databases in our library.  These are the Shakespeare's Globe on Screen, the National Theatre Collection, and the Stratford Festival.

This site was supported by generous funding and expert consultation from NC State's DELTA department.
