Bell Shakespeare is an Australian theatre company specialising in the works of William Shakespeare, his contemporaries and other classics. It was founded in 1990 by John Bell. Bell Shakespeare is Australia's only national touring theatre company. Its current practice is to tour three mainstage productions to each Australian state in each year, plus a variety of education programs. In 2011, for example, the mainstage productions were ''Much Ado About Nothing'', ''Faustus'' (an adaptation of Marlowe's ''Doctor Faustus''), and ''Julius Caesar'', and the major education programs were ''Romeo and Juliet'' and ''The Hamlet Seminar – 2B ≠ 2B''. The company, rather than using Renaissance costumes and sets, uses contemporary styles. Unlike many other producers, Bell has his actors accentuating and emphasising the many sexual innuendos and bawdy moments that are in the original texts. The Bell Shakespeare is listed as a Major Festival in the book ''Shakespeare Festivals Around the World'' by Marcus D. Gregio (ed.), 2004, ISBN 978-1-4134-5906-7. == Artistic leadership == In 2012, John Bell announced the promotion of associate artistic director Peter Evans to the position of co-artistic director. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bell Shakespeare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
