This article examines the relationships between tourism, national identity, and Shakespearean performance at the Várszinház Festival in Gyula, Hungary. By hosting highly experimental Shakespearean productions, the Festival runs counter to the ethos of the town's other leisure activities. This article examines how a 2013 production of Hamlet and a 2016 production of Richard III, both staged in the courtyard of the medieval castle, exemplify the ways that Shakespeare can be made to play with and against this richly meaningful performance site. I will conclude by suggesting ways to think about such performance in relation Gyula's identity as a tourist place.

Starting from a reflection on the way inclusion may be impacted by today's concomitant pandemics, war, and other global emergencies, the article addresses the following questions: Is our approach to Shakespeare and inclusion, in staging of the plays and critical studies, affected by today's co-existence of global ‘ailments’? Can Shakespeare address such a complex ‘state of emergency’ (Walter Benjamin)? What theoretical tools may resonate with Shakespeare today? How can Shakespeare be ‘our contemporary’? For possible answers, the article draws on Giorgio Agamben's idea of ‘contemporaneity’ and looks at present examples of engagements with Shakespeare (inclusive practices, film, and theatre stagings).

that way’. While revealing a distressing reality, Cimino feels compelled to remind audiences that violence is perpetuated by a minority of individuals and that the islanders, even if they are surrounded by ‘tragedies’, should also enjoy laughter and self-deprecating humour. The frequent presence of sand on stage may be a reminder of the shortness of life: while celebrating the marriage of Claudiu and Ghertruda, glasses are filled with sand, the very same sand that will later be empty out of Claudiu and Larte’s glasses when they learn about Ofelia’s death and that will also be found again in buckets during the graveyard scene, where two clowns get ready for the woman’s funeral. More than perhaps a nod to Thomas Ostermeier’s production of Hamlet (2011), this scene might also be seen as a memento mori, staging an element (sand) that can be both a source of life and death and which invites the spectators to make the best of their lives while they can. With echoes of Ostermeier and Brecht, Cimino successfully weaves relevant local themes of violence and power into an entertaining and accessible Hamlet for a largely Corsican audience composed of students and the general public, while at the same time placing a spotlight on an endangered language worth preserving.
