Most of the productions listed are by professional companies, but a number of productions with mixed amateur and professional casts have been included. It is interesting to note the increasing number of such productions, and the rise in the number of small professional touring companies. Information is mainly taken from newspaper reviews held in the Birmingham Shakespeare Library.
