Abstract
Newspaper reviews will often debate a production's claim to the name “Shakespeare”, generally whenever that production is perceived to have departed too far from Shakespearean authority. This article questions the authority assigned by mainstream theatre reviewers to the Shakespearean text, and examines the role played by these reviewers in negotiating the scope and enforcing the boundaries of contemporary Shakespearean performance. Particular attention is paid to Théâtre de Complicite's The Winter's Tale (1992), Vesturport's Romeo and Juliet (2003) and Kneehigh Theatre's Cymbeline (2006).
