Immersive Shakespeare examines the ways in which contemporary Shakespearean adaptations use immersive tactics to spur a sea-change. Namely, how do immersive strategies and technologies adapt the way contemporary audiences experience and respond to centuries-old narratives? Bedrock to this research is the understanding that immersive strategies such as audience interaction, site-specificity, and polysensorial experiences were not invented during the recent surge of immersive plays and experiences, but rather that these strategies were likewise integral to early modern performance.Immersive Shakespeare contributes to existing Shakespearean and immersive theater research by including liminal and ludic phenomena as two additional facets of immersive storytelling. While both liminal thresholds and ludic play are present in all performance, in immersive experiences these qualities are amplified due to the physical experience of being immersed. Since audience members are invited inside the narrative, the threshold between reality and fiction is experienced by and processed in the body which, I believe, not only creates space for heightened interaction with the story but also allows audiences to establish a personal stake in the narrative. In other words, how do liminal, ludic and immersive properties enable audiences, early modern and contemporary alike, to play with Shakespeare?
