This developing Gallery seeks to illustrate how the exact naming of the location of Shakespeare's plots may have been culturally significant. Such details often jar with the radical displacements routinely pursued by modern directors and designers, but when the UCB Shakespeare Program staged his comedies in appropriately Renaissance style we were congratulated on our daring originality. This selection of images suggests what impressions and interpretations might be customary in Shakespeare's world in imagining the environments and societies he explicitly chose to stage. Though Elizabethan theatre did not pursue historical realism very thoroughly in costuming, images or ideas similar to the following ones may have plausibly inspired the content and appearance of their productions, or certainly some later ones. Some of the images are in the public domain, some the U.C.B. Shakespeare Program's, others courtesy of the Yorck Project, but all are offered here for educational not commercial purposes.
