Exploring how adaptations of Shakespeare's plays can be used to empower young audiences by addressing issues of oppression, trauma and resistance, this collection showcases a wide variety of approaches to understanding, adapting and teaching Shakespeare. In the past 25 years, the number of Shakespeare adaptations targeting adolescent audiences has grown significantly. This book explores YA novels based on Shakespeare's plays, teen films such as 10 Things I Hate about You and Romeo + Juliet, video games such as Elsinore and the Life is Strange series, and many other adaptations that have invited young audiences to see themselves in Shakespeare's characters. It also looks at more recent digital adaptations, produced by and for young people, which reimagine Shakespeare's plays as first-person video diaries. These creative works use Shakespeare to address some of the most pressing questions in contemporary culture - exploring themes of violence, race relations and intersectionality.
