Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project (CASP)

"CASPis the first research project of its kind devoted to the systematic exploration and documentation of the ways in which Shakespeare has been adapted into a national, multicultural theatrical practice. Originally launched in 2004 by Professor Daniel Fischlin, CASP Version 2 was released in 2007 offering more than double the content, including learning, teaching, multimedia, and research resources and pedagogical tools related to how Shakespeare has been adapted into (and out of) Canadian theatre. CASP Version 2 reflects the project's ongoing commitment to blending the best practices of humanities research, new media, online publishing, accessibility, and community engagement."

The range of materials to be found on this page is significant: from complete versions of special issues of Canadian Theatre Review devoted to Shakespeare in Canada, through to graduate essays and dissertations, and academic essays that address Shakespearean adaptation in Canada."
