Ethical Implications of Shakespeare in Performance and Appropriation
Bringing together the discrete fields of appropriation and performance studies, this collection explores pivotal intersections between the two approaches to consider the ethical implications of decisions made when artists and scholars appropriate Shakespeare. The essays in this book, written by established and emerging scholars in subfields such as premodern critical race studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, performance studies, adaptation/appropriation studies and fan studies, demonstrate how remaking the plays across time, cultures or media changes the nature both of what Shakespeare promises and the expectations of those promised Shakespeare. Using examples such as rap music, popular television, theatre history and twentieth-century poetry, this collection argues that understanding Shakespeare at different intersections between performance and appropriation requires continuously negotiating what is signified through Shakespeare to the communities that use and consume him.

Shakespeare, Race and Performance
What does it mean to study Shakespeare within a multicultural society? And who has the power to transform Shakespeare? The Diverse Bard explores how Shakespeare has been adapted by artists born on the margins of the Empire, and how actors of Asian and African-Caribbean origin are being cast by white mainstream directors. It examines how notions of 'race' define the contemporary British experience, including the demands of traditional theatre, and it looks at both the playtexts themselves and contemporary productions. Editor Delia Jarrett-Macauley assembles a stunning collection of classic texts and new scholarship by leading critics and practitioners, to provide the first comprehensive critical and practical analysis of this field.
Ghosts of the Sahara
Kennedy Hunter, an American journalist, travels to Casablanca to interview The Torch, an Islamic rebel hiding deep inside the Sahara. He's cunning, sleek as an eel and doesn't make it easy on her. To meet him, she is pushed out of a small plane into the desert night where she spends the most frightening night of her life. A band of hostile Berbers pick her up and with them she treks the Sahara to his hidden location. From them she learns about ancient tribal customs. It is a world that is alien to her, a world of mysticism she knows nothing about. On her return, alone in the desert, she is confronted by Touaregs, the Blue Men of the Sahara, who are as fierce and scary as the deadly sandstorms she has to withstand. The Torch demands that she publish a manifesto and isn't happy with her reporting. What ensues is a tit-for-tat, a game of cat and mouse that doesn't end until she unravels the mystery that is The Torch and exposes him to the world.
