Summary

In its 2020 issue, Cahiers Elisabéthains focused on the various experiences of Shakespeare in the early months of lockdown. Reviewers (disclosure: I was one) frequently commented on the difference in their level of engagement when they watched a play alone in their room, and I shall return later to this issue. But they also noted the one unquestionable advantage of digital theatre: none of its seats has restricted views. Of course, the computer’s view is restricted, especially in livestream, but we don’t usually notice the limitation of our viewpoint because we assume that, as in film, there is an intention behind it.
