- Notes
- Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre makes several recordings of a single production, using four fixed cameras, to enable practitioners and researchers to observe how the play has developed during the run.
- General
- An eight-actor Lear production with an unusual doubling technique. At the back of the stage was a rack with various costumes hanging from it. As the as an actor changed roles, he or she would doff a different costume from the rack.
