SHAKREP "Shakespearean Performances in Spain"
The database SHAKREP includes information on productions performed in different languages in Spain from 1772 to the present and includes productions by visiting troupes in the period covered.
- Searches can be made by any of the following categories: title (original or otherwise), date, theatre, theatre company, director, etc.
- Not all of these productions are for the theatre (in the strict sense of the term), and we have included other modes of performance (zarzuela, puppet shows, circus, etc.) which nonetheless have a Shakepearean origin. These other modes are specified in the comments on the performance. (There is, as yet, no list of operatic versions of the plays, but we hope to make this available also).
- Similarly, we have also included production of work which is not strictly Shakespearean, but which has sought to adapt or develop his plays for different purposes or, alternatively, is based on Shakespeare’s biography and times. (The nature of these plays is also specified in the comments section).
In compiling the list of productions, theatres, companies, reviews, etc., we have made every effort to verify all of the information included, using existing repertoires and a range of other sources. We are, however, aware that not all of these sources are reliable or complete, that there is still a lot of work to do in the way of updating and correcting existing data and of adding information about new productions or productions which may have escaped our attention. Users of the database are therefore cordially invited to use the suggestions box in order to rectify any mistakes we have made or to notify us of performances which have eluded us. Meanwhile, any comments they may have on this or any aspects of the site will be gratefully received and, where possible, responded to.
