| Abstract
|
:
|
In the middle of the twentieth century, Polish theatre critic Jan Kott, in Shakespeare <i>Our Contemporary,</i> wrote of the Grand Mechanism as represented in the works of William Shakespeare. Kott argued that the history and progression of power works like a cyclical mechanism in which rulers rise and fall through a series of legitimate successions and usurpations. In the aftermath of the great wars of the early twentieth century, the works of Shakespeare gained political immediacy for Kott. As Shakespeare gained recognition as a global icon, his works have been adapted and reimagined across the globe, often forming the backbone of the modernization of theatrical traditions in regions as disparate from Shakespeare’s England as China and the Middle East.
