In order to illustrate both the variety of approaches and also the common ground shared by ‘stakeholders’ in Shakespeare who have different starting-points, here are three short clips, the first by an Open University academic, Cicely Palser-Havely (Clip 2), the second by David Giles, who directed a starry cast in Richard II for BBC Television (Clip 3), and the third by the celebrated actor Jeremy Irons (Clip 4). Each approaches Shakespeare’s plays from a different perspective, but all are united in their insistence on the centrality of performance.
