From British Imperialist to Honorary Aussie to International Meeting-Place: How Shakespeare has been spoken and staged in Australia 1910-2003

目的：发现澳大利亚与英国和世界关系的变化与莎士比亚在澳大利亚观众中的表演有何关系。 意义：在过去的100年里，莎士比亚一直是澳大利亚演出次数最多的剧作家，但今天的戏剧公司更有可能利用亚洲的体能戏剧，而不是英国的演讲训练。莎士比亚的戏剧在这里上演和演讲的方式反映了关于民族性格和身份认同的观念的变化，在独立性、复杂性和文化地理感方面。 结果：APAI候选人的一篇博士论文和一篇重要的展览目录文章；首席调查人员的研究出版物

Aims: To discover how changing ideas of Australia's relationship to Britain and the world relate to performances of Shakespeare for Australian audiences. Significance: For the last 100 years Shakespeare has been the most performed playwright in Australia, but theatre companies today are more likely to draw on Asian physical theatre than British speech training. How Shakespeare's plays have been staged and spoken here reflects changing ideas about national character and identity, in terms of independence, sophistication, and sense of cultural geography. Outcomes: A PhD thesis and a major exhibition catalogue essay by the APAI candidate; research publications by the Chief Investigators
