Also of interest are the following series, which provide histories of Shakespeare in performance and often include some discussion of film adaptations:

The Shakespeare in Production series, published by Cambridge UP.  Each volume in the series is an edition of a single play, giving different interpretations of specific lines and scenes in footnotes.

The Shakespeare in Performance series, published by Manchester UP.  Each volume in the series is devoted to different interpretations of a single play.  For this class you'll find these volumes especially helpful:  Anthony Dawson, Hamlet;  Bernice Kliman, Macbeth;  Alexander Leggatt, King Lear;  Jill Levenson, Romeo and Juliet.)
