The Global Shakespeares Video & Performance Archive is a collaborative project providing online access to performances of Shakespeare from many parts of the world (with an emphasis on Asia) as well as essays and metadata by scholars and educators in the field. Links to online reviews are also provided for some plays. The archive is a work in progress and currently (2/2016) includes a catalogue of more than 400 streamed productions (some full length, others clips). This archive is intended to promote cross-cultural understanding and serve as a core resource for students, teachers, and researchers. The Database can be searched via play title, country of production and language.
