Poetic, quotidian or coarse, subversive or commodified, but always engaging, graffiti art and post-graffiti art have appropriated Shakespeare and his work by dismembering and also disfiguring his lines and images on walls, and have started to dialogue with theatrical spaces that, conversely, turn to the grammar of street art to restage Shakespearian plays.

Abstract
Poetic, quotidian or coarse, subversive or commodified, but always engaging, graffiti art and post-graffiti art have appropriated Shakespeare and his work by dismembering and also disfiguring his lines and images on walls, and have started to dialogue with theatrical spaces that, conversely, turn to the grammar of street art to restage Shakespearian plays. The Shakespeare/graffiti bond has therefore become a strong and illuminating metaphor for questioning the Elizabethan playwright’s iconic status in the new millennium.
