Summary
Shakespeare was to be seen everywhere in 2022 – sometimes in person. He was a character in two West End productions: Ben Elton’s stage version of The Upstart Crow, and the musical & Juliet (by David West Read and Max Martin); by the time you read this, he will also have appeared in Hamnet, a dramatization of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel, at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford. In all three, he is overshadowed by clever, unjustly forgotten women. If Shakespeare in Love (1998) implies that woman’s role is simply to provide the great sex that enables great writing in men, other fictitious Shakespeares have owed a more intellectual debt.
