Abstract
The Conclusion articulates the argument of the book and draws together the implications of its survey of open-air Shakespeare productions. It considers the historical arc of the open-air tradition, the variety of contemporary modes of production and their relative cultural significance, and contends that open-air Shakespeares warrant critical attention both for what they reveal about changing attitudes towards Shakespeare and for the insights they provide on the interaction between place and performance.
