- Shakespeare and the ‘Live’ Theatre Broadcast Experience is a 15-chapter, peer-reviewed book which constitutes the most comprehensive examination to date of the live theatre broadcast in general, and its capture of Shakespearian performance in particular. Combining as critical lenses performance and media theory, the global experience economy, and the impact of social media, the volume examines a wide range of case studies in order to establish new paradigms for this recently-developed mode of theatrical remediation that move beyond previous debates around ‘liveness’ and presence. In order to further develop the initial contextualization mapped out in the Introduction to her edited ‘Special Review Section on Live Relay’ in Shakespeare Bulletin (2014), and as the first step in the planning of the volume, Greenhalgh, with Aebischer and Osborne, convened a seminar on the global reception of broadcasts at the 2016 World Shakespeare Congress, which was attended by some of the eventual contributors. Greenhalgh and Aebischer took an equal lead in the shaping of the volume, the commissioning of chapters by leading international scholars, and the curating and mentoring of all the authors. The three editors each oversaw the first drafts and revisions of 1/3 of the chapters, and peer-reviewed all in turn when completed; in addition, Greenhalgh oversaw the final publishing stages and index compilation. Greenhalgh was responsible for a sole-authored 9,000 word first chapter, which established the historical and spatial contexts in which theatre broadcasting developed, and co-wrote the 7,000 word Introduction setting out the volume’s theoretical and conceptual agenda.
