As Jennifer Lee Carrell has written, ‘In the frontier West, the fact that Shakespeare tells good stories, and that those stories should be told well in the West, was no surprise at all – at least not to Westerners’ ( Carrell 1998 , 107). But what Carrell states can be read in multiple ways: in addition to being told well in the West, Shakespeare is also told well in the West . Shakespeare’s legacy in the West is strong, demonstrated by the numerous Shakespeare festivals and companies spread throughout the region. Many recent productions that have adopted approaches to their adaptations that draw on this legacy and history, locating the action of the plays in a fi ctional Wild or Old West. Indeed, the stories of the American West and those of Shakespeare are often concerned with the same matters: self-determination, independence, the role of women in a male-dominated society, the pursuit of wealth and power, class issues, gender roles, and violence. The Taming of the Shrew , The Comedy of Errors , The Merry Wives of Windsor , Measure for Measure , Hamlet , King Lear , Othello , Much Ado About Nothing , Two Gentlemen of Verona , Romeo and Juliet , The Merchant of Venice , As You Like It , Cymbeline , and the Henriad have all been staged with settings in the nineteenth-century American West. In many of these, music plays an important role in signifying the West or representing particular aspects of it derived from popular culture and media. It is important to note that these adaptations are not necessarily seeking to portray the frontier American West as historically accurate, and some plays – notably those in which the role or treatment of women is problematic – are favourite choices for re-locations to a deliberately fashioned quasi-mythical West because of the ways in which our historical understanding and/or creative construction of the period can account for such problems. Thus the imagined West that is seen and heard in these performances of Shakespeare is a highly variable one that often also calls on popular thinking about the Elizabethan period, nostalgia, mythologised accounts of the time and place, cinematic and televisual imaginings of the West, and alternate-reality scenarios. At the same time that these productions bring Shakespeare into the West, they also bring the West into Shakespeare, 1 The Wild West meets the wives of Windsor Shakespeare and music in the mythological American West","PeriodicalId":131143,"journal":{"name":"Re-Locating the Sounds of the Western","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133535916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
