The Designing Shakespeare database has been developed to help students
and scholars gain a greater understanding of the work of theatre designers working in Britain during 1960-2000. It has also been designed to illustrate the vast range of possible interpretations of Shakespeare's
work.This audio-visual database contains four distinct elements:
1. A text database of production details and excerpts from theatre reviews which refer to design.
2. An image database of production photographs selected from the archives
of the theatre photographers Donald Cooper and Tom Holte and from the archive of costume designer and lecturer in design, Janet Arnold.
3. A collection of video and audio interviews conducted by Dr. Christie Carson with a number of important designers.
4. A collection of VRML models of the key theatres spaces in Stratford and London where Shakespeare has been performed, developed by theatre designer Chris Dyer.
In the ECLAP aggregator the records of these databases are being presented individually, to comply with Europeana content policies. The Designing Shakespeare website, previously housed on the ADHS PA servers, is now housed on the Royal Holloway University of London servers (http://www.ahds.rhul.ac.uk/ahdscollections/).
