Most of the productions listed are by professional or semi-professional companies. Productions originating in 1998 or earlier have only been included if there is new information. Details are mainly taken from newspaper reviews held in the Birmingham Shakespeare Library. Many of the companies listed were involved in small-scale tours; where neither reviews nor listings mark these as professional they are starred. I have also included the principal annual Shakespeare festivals where, it is worth noting, the audience, as at the Globe, often seems younger and more culturally diverse than those at conventional theatre productions.
