In 2001, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, it opened once again. The reconstructed Blackfriars, home to the American Shakespeare Center, represents an old playhouse for the new millennium and therefore symbolically registers the permanent revolution in the performance of Shakespeare. Time and again, the industry refreshes its practices by rediscovering its own history. This work assesses how one American company has capitalised on history and in so doing has forged one of its own to become a major influence in contemporary Shakespearean theatre. 410 0$aShakespeare in the Theatre. 410 0$aArden Shakespeare (Critical studies) 517 3 $aAmerican Shakespeare Center 606 $aTheatrical companies$zVirginia$zStaunton 606 $aTheatre studies$2bicssc 615 0$aTheatrical companies 615 7$aTheatre studies 676 $a822.33 700 $aMenzer$b Paul$f1966-$01275348 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148747103321 996 $aShakespeare in the theatre$93005457 997 $aUNINA
