Kevin A. Quarmby
Kevin A. Quarmby situates the 2019 theatre scene within the context of social justice concerns prevalent in 2019. Not only did 2019 pass with all its political, social, and cultural discord painfully intact, but also the year’s focus on disparate, often localized events now appears quaintly ill-considered given the global problems that erupted in 2020. The varied articles in Scene’s 2019 issue offer a taste of what was, a reminder what we missed, and what we hoped would soon return.

M. Beales
Meredith Beales reviews the Bard on the Beach production of The Taming of the Shrew, now relocated to the gun-toting West. This choice makes for an interesting rereading of the Katherine character, made even more sympathetic by her mistreatment at the hands of local townsfolk. The specificity with which the comedy Western world informs the eventual transformation of Katherine, and her surprisingly successful revenge against those who seemingly spent years bullying her, adds its own topicality to this uncomfortably nuanced play. A “satire of sexism” or “simply a straight-up sexist play”? Beales finds this Canadian production’s creative choices unusually informative, albeit within the confines of an ultimately troubling drama.

A review of the live virtual production of King Lear, presented by the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival for their "Shakespeare at Home" season 2020. Freely available to all via YouTube, this production featured actors performing the play in multiple and individual locations, the socially-distanced imperative facilitated by Zoom and Open Broadcaster Software technology to create a performance in "real-time" that captured the spirit of living theatre, while keeping all involved safe and gainfully employed.

Michelle L. LaFlamme
Michelle LaFlamme’s Production Notice of the Bard on the Beach production of Shakespeare in Love offers a celebratory description of the “performativity of gender” in this “re-historicized” romp into Will Shakespeare’s writing career. With the play’s fictional representation of Shakespeare’s love—for his theatre and the young aristocrat who inspires his creativity—Shakespeare in Love demonstrates a cultural need for historical backstories that add human fallibility to Shakespeare’s character that both humanize and democratize in equal measure.

A review of the Atlanta production of Romeo and Juliet by the Shit-faced Shakespeare company. Argues that the performance "highlighted the populist nature of American Shakespearean appropriation and commodification and the intersection of highbrow and lowbrow culture in American society" and "explores these aspects of Shakespearean appropriation through engagement with the writings of Antonin Artaud, Guy Debord, and Lawrence Levine on the theatre of cruelty, the society of the spectacle, and highbrow and lowbrow culture, respectively."
