Shakespeare Bulletin is an academic journal founded in 1982. The journal focuses exclusively on performance studies and scholarly treatment of Shakespearean and early modern drama on stage and screen. Each issue contains original articles as well as theatre, film, and book reviews. Theatre coverage encompasses the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. In 1992 the Bulletin incorporated the Shakespeare on Film Newsletter, which had been in publication since 1976. The current editor is Pascale Aebischer of the Centre for Early Modern Studies at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.
The journal is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December by the Johns Hopkins University Press. The average length of an issue is 140 pages. Annually the journal publishes approximately 20 articles, a hundred theatre/film reviews and 10 reviews of performance-oriented books. Special issues have covered such issues as the Shakespeare films of Orson Welles, audience studies ("Watching ourselves watching Shakespeare"), Christopher Marlowe in performance, teen film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays, and early modern drama on screen.
Essays are double-blind peer-reviewed, while reviews are commissioned by the appropriate editor.
