Creative Director: Sarah Neville, Assistant Professor. Department of English; Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts. The Ohio State University (Email).

Sarah Neville’s research agenda is split between three complementary elements: textual editing, historical bibliography/book history and Shakespearean performance.

She has published articles on Shakespeare, editorial theory, digital humanities, early modern scientific publishing, and book history. She is an assistant editor of the New Oxford Shakespeare, for which she edited five plays in both modern and old-spelling versions: The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The First Part of Henry the Sixth, The Comedy of Errors, The Merry Wives of Windsor and Julius Caesar. She is also a coordinating editor of the Digital Renaissance Editions, an open access project publishing electronic scholarly editions of non-Shakespearean early English drama.

Neville’s work in Shakespeare and performance is bolstered by her textual and editorial scholarship. She is the founder of the Lord Denney’s Players, an academic theatre company housed within the Department of English that is designed to explore intersections of texts, criticism and performance. Her current work on Renaissance stagecraft and “creative intimidation” explores the rapid pace with which playwrights like Shakespeare, Jonson, Beaumont, Fletcher and Middleton responded to each other’s dramaturgical innovations both onstage and in print.
