Shakespeare in Asia—on Shakespeare's Birthday!

Shakespeare Performance in Asia. MIT Shakespeare Electronic Archive. 23 April 2009 {URL}.
Today is Shakespeare's birthday—and the day he died—and St. George's Day—and I didn't think that I could pass it up, even though I haven't been able to post for a month due to crazybusyoverwhelmingitis.

Fortunately, I recently learned of a marvelous resource that is worth telling you about: The Shakespeare Performance in Asia website. Shakespeare in Asian has been an interest of mine for a decade or so; my favorite film on the subject is A Dream in Hanoi (for which, q.v.). The website lists it—and many, many more Shakespeare-in-Asia-related materials.

In any case, Happy Birthday, Shakespeare! Age still cannot wither you, nor custom stale your infinite variety!

Cheers!
