Shakespeare in Performance: Artifacts

An artifact is a single, complete object generated by the process of artistic production: it may be as simple as a single costume design or as complex as a theatre program.

The artifacts found in this database (programs, prompt books, set designs, performance stills, etc), many of which are not available anywhere else on the web, have been gathered from Shakespeare festivals and companies across North America, and elsewhere in the world.
