New and recent collections
- NEU The Arden Shakespeare Play Collection: Text and Language
For the first time, Drama Online will offer The Arden Shakespeare Third Series of plays alongside the landmark five-volume The Arden Encyclopedia of Shakespeare’s Language to create a comprehensive digital guide to Shakespeare’s dramatic works.
Alongside the 42 fully annotated, world-leading Arden editions of the plays, the Encyclopedia details and illuminates the richness of Shakespeare’s language, providing a huge data set based on corpus linguistics and computational analysis. This gives users the unique opportunity to navigate between the primary play texts and accessible, evidence-based accounts of Shakespeare’s words, offering a richer understanding of the plays and the period in which they were first written and performed.
- NEU Shakespeare's Globe on Screen 3 (2022-2024)
Four new exclusive filmed performances from Shakespeare’s Globe, including Antony and Cleopatra, The Merchant of Venice, Othello, and Richard III. Inspired and informed by the unique historic playing conditions of two beautiful iconic theatres, Shakespeare’s Globe’s diverse programme of work harnesses the power of performance, cultivates intellectual curiosity, and excites learning to make Shakespeare accessible for all.
- Antony and Cleopatra: Shakespeare’s colossal story of love, duty, and power unfolds in an epic bilingual production using Spoken English and British Sign Language. Despite their different cultures, Roman general Antony falls for Egyptian queen Cleopatra. Their passion blazes across two continents, upsets the world order and puts thousands of lives at risk.
- The Merchant of Venice: In a world where money turns the wheels, men call the shots, and your religion or race can open or close doors, some win and some lose. A ‘heart-wrenching’ (The Guardian) and ‘tremendously sensitive’ (The Stage) production told by candlelight in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.
- Othello: This is an Othello for our times. A confronting look at the destructive impact of institutional racism, toxic masculinity, and a justice system in a vicious cycle. This critically-acclaimed sold out production was captured live in the intimate, candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse in 2024.
- Richard III: Starring Michelle Terry, this ‘hugely compelling’ (The Guardian) and ‘vibrant’ (The Telegraph) new production explores modern tyranny afresh. Richard’s self-serving manipulation, disruption and ambition for the crown threatens the lives of everyone around him. Can the factions resolve their inherited conflicts before the whole country is deceived and destroyed?
