AB  - "Examines Shakespeare and performance during the most restrictive years of COVID-19, when his work was, by necessity, digitally delivered." Explores privilege through a number of lenses: digital privilege (hardware, bandwidth) to access digital performances; geographic and economic privilege to attend in-person when theatres reopened; Shakespeare's privilege in comparison to other playwrights; and funding privilege for some theatres to weather economic challenges of the pandemic. Contends that scholars need to document the wealth of online performances or risk offering shallow and non-representative information for future theatre historians. English summary, 509.
