Because of the recent enormous increase in performance studies this bibliography is illustrative rather  than exhaustive and it stresses English-speaking productions. Recent publications will be progressively assimilated and references to non-English Shakespeare productions will be developed. Sources and credits for illustrations can be found in the  relevant gallery sections. The site management welcomes suggestions for additions at all points.
