ALT An image of Horacio (Martha Preve Ayora) and Hamlet (Federico Mallet) in Hamlet: La Telenovela over a dark orange background with the SB logo and the text “Hamlet: La Telenovela provided a theatrically compelling challenge to the Eurocentric canon that continues to revere Shakespeare as Bloomian ‘inventor of the human.’”

ALT An image of Patrick Page in All the Devils are Here over a dark orange background with the SB logo and the text “Page’s virtuosic mastery as a performer made each character riveting and his assertions about the psychological foundations of Shakespearean villainy totally convincing, at least while watching him perform.”

ALT An image of Othello (Caner Cindoruk) and Iago (Ahmed Saka) over a dark orange background with the SB logo and the text “Saka’s performance as Iago was modest: his body language was humble and delicate, and his voice was striking with its soft, thin tone. His gradual change to an empowered manipulator was delivered seamlessly.”

Dummy pistols were given sound by actors shouting ‘Bang!’, and rubber daggers visibly wiggled throughout Arden’s successful murder.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GptnyyPXwAA6N0C.jpg?name=small&format=webp)
