'After Shakespeare' is an exhibition with associated public programs exploring the 400 year legacy of William Shakespeare. The exhibition includes work by writers who imitated or adapted his works, and documents his cultural influence in the four centuries since his death. With particular emphasis on Australian reception of his work, the exhibition brings together for the first time two of only five known Australian copies of the Second Folio of Shakespeare’s works (1632), a unique promptbook for a Gold Rush era performance of Antony and Cleopatra at Melbourne’s Theatre Royal in 1856, and numerous production artefacts and ephemera. 'After Shakespeare' offers a rare glimpse of important Shakespeariana from the University of Melbourne, the State Library of Victoria and the Melbourne Theatre Company.
