Seeking video of Arab/ic Shakespeare performances
The Global Shakespeares web archive at MIT has gone live -- with virtually no content on its Arab World section. There's only my placeholder introduction.
Yalla! Let's send our archivist friends some video to include in the site. Any leads can be sent to me or to Prof. Peter Donaldson, the site's editor-in-chief.
