‘Over the course of the 2016 anniversary celebrations, much will be said about Shakespeare’s value And yet, his very real cash value will remain for the most part the elephant in the room Here at last is a book which owns up to it, and it’s wide-ranging and insightful Properly and refreshingly serious about Shakespeare’s harder contributions to the cultural economy And because of this honest worldliness, sometimes also funny.’ —Professor Ewan Fernie, University of Birmingham, UK ‘This wide-ranging and diverse set of essays demonstrate that, where Shakespeare is concerned, money matters From the financial constraints and opportunities that shaped Shakespeare’s own writing, to the ongoing exploitation of the Shakespeare brand to sell books, beers, dead kings and living actors, this book argues that Shakespeare’s currency is inextricable from the worlds of big business, cultural imperialism, international diplomacy and corporate art On the 400th anniversary of his death, Shakespeare’s Cultural Capital makes a timely and important case for the ongoing value of Shakespeare’s stock.’ —Dr Peter Kirwan, University of Nottingham, UK ‘A fascinating historical and thematic variety of Shakespeare branding, from his place in early modern commercial theatre and publishing, to his power to sell beer, and his importance in the current GREAT Britain government campaign to attract international investment in the UK Its contributors raise awareness of our own responsibility as consumers of Shakespeare, as scholars, playgoers and members of the public.’ —Professor Alison

and that works produced within the market necessarily are of low quality, or even that the outcome cannot be counted as art This book therefore deals with a most relevant and topical issue It is important to demonstrate that culture and the market can go well together, and in many cases reinforce each other This does not mean that all cultural activities should be subjected to the market Indeed, economic analysis has identified under which conditions the market fails with respect to culture, and when it works well Shakespeare’s Cultural Capital makes interesting reading for everyone who is interested in knowing how the economic and cultural marketplace has worked and is working in the case of the greatest English author It is fascinating to read how Shakespeare used the market to promote his texts and plays, and the extent to which he was influenced by the market in his writings and presentations of his plays How Shakespeare is exploited today to promote tourism to Leicester due to the body of Richard III, or in connection to the London Olympics, is also noteworthy Finally, many readers will be interested to see that Shakespeare has been used for national political purposes, in particular with regard to the quest for a GREAT Britain When reading the text I was struck that the relationship of great artists to the market is of considerable interest in many different countries This is, for instance, true in the case of Germany, a country in which Goethe and Schiller have always played a huge role Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was indeed quite aware of the conflicting relationship between culture and the market In the ‘Prelude on Stage’ of his masterpiece Faust Part I, he sets a director of a theatre against a dramatist As can be perceived from the following excerpts the two have quite opposing views of how to deal with customers: Director: Say what success our undertaking Will meet with, then, in Germany? I’d rather like the crowd to enjoy it … I’d love to see a joyful crowd, that’s certain, vii viii Foreword Dramatist: Director: Dramatist: When the waves drive them to our place … O, don’t speak to me of that varied crew, The sight of whom makes inspiration fade Veil, from me, the surging multitude, Whose whirling will drives us everyway No, some heavenly silence lead me to, Where for the poet alone pure joy’s at play: Where Love and Friendship too grace our hearts … What dazzles is a Momentary act: What’s true is left for posterity, intact … Make sure, above all, plenty’s happening there! They come to look, and then they want to stare … Each one, himself, will choose the bit he needs: Who brings a lot, brings something that will pass: And everyone goes home contentedly You’ll give a piece, why then give it them in pieces! With such a stew you’re destined for success … You don’t see how badly such work will do! How little it suits the genuine creator!1 The text reveals how Goethe saw the tension between the goals of theatre directors who are acutely aware that they must attract a sufficient number of customers in order to survive in their business, and the artists who fear to have to produce for the masses, losing their originality Goethe and Schiller, among many other German artists, were heavily engaged in the economic, political and cultural marketplace Especially in the Romantic period they were used as symbols of German thinking and culture, and to promote unification But it comes immediately to mind that the same has occurred for artists in other countries: Tolstoy in Russia, Molière in France or Cervantes in Spain would be comparable The tension between culture and the marketplace is not restricted to writers but also applies to composers such as Sibelius in Finland, Grieg in Norway or Smetana in the Czech Republic Once a sufficient number of studies corresponding to Shakespeare and the market have been undertaken, it is possible to compare the fate of different artists and to gain insights into the exact conditions Foreword ix under which there is indeed a conflict between culture and the market, as Goethe suggests in the ‘Prelude’ to Faust and in which they go well together, perhaps even reinforcing each other Shakespeare’s Cultural Capital opens a welcome new area of research in cultural economics It is to be hoped that similar works are written for artists in various cultural fields and in various countries This would greatly enhance our knowledge about how artists feel about, and cope with, the market, and how the market copes with culture Bruno S Frey University of Basel, Switzerland Note Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (2003) ‘Prelude on Stage’, Faust Part I in Faust Parts I & II, translated by A S Kline, www.http://www.poetryintranslation com, date accessed 27 October 2015, lines 35–7, 49–50, 59–65, 73–4, 89–90, 96–100, 104–5 Sponsoring Shakespeare 173 the programme the company sponsors for young theatregoers.41 And, notwithstanding the efforts of Reclaim Shakespeare to challenge the appearance of the BP logo at World Shakespeare Festival events, a study by sports and entertainment market specialists Havas (reported in the UK’s Marketing Magazine) indicated that 82% of those polled – a sample of more than 3,000 adults – recognised BP as one of the London 2012 sponsors and 38% believed that ‘BP had been getting better at working towards a cleaner planet’.42 These results suggest that Shakespeare does an excellent job in accomplishing the ‘greenwash’ that Reclaim Shakespeare and other critics identified as the sponsor’s goal Importantly, the debate has continued since 2012 thanks to the work by Reclaim Shakespeare and allied groups intervening at many different cultural institutions and shows including the British Museum Viking exhibition (2014) and Indigenous Australia exhibition (2015) at Tate Britain, at the summer ‘live film’ performances from the Royal Opera House seen in Trafalgar Square, and at the National Portrait Gallery Moreover, at the same time as Reclaim Shakespeare’s first intervention (April 2012), a coalition known as ‘Request Initiative’ filed a Freedom of Information application to uncover how much money BP donated annually to London’s Tate Britain This was resolved and disclosed only in January 2015, revealing a total of £3.8 million over 17 years and in amounts that generally varied from £150,000–£330,000 per year As Mark Brown’s story in the Guardian recorded, the Tate considers this a ‘considerable sum’ while protesters suggest the amount is ‘embarrassingly small’.43 BP contributions to the Tate are estimated as representing no more than 0.5% of the gallery’s annual operating budget – a bargain, for sure, in comparison to the billions it must ‘donate’ to Deepwater Horizon claims Moreover, as Mel Evans has noted, BP’s sponsorship money for the Tate is part of an agreement that includes other cultural institutions – the National Portrait Gallery, the British Museum and the Royal Opera House – with each at the same level of funding She suggests that such a modest level is ‘replaceable’, but the ‘choice of exhibits to sponsor displays the association the companies want to buy … rather than fulfilling any marginal funding need for the cultural institutions’.44 Yet Neil MacGregor wrote in his foreword to the ‘Shakespeare: Staging the World’ catalogue (immediately following the one by BP Group Chief Executive Dudley): ‘This BP exhibition is part of an ongoing partnership with the British Museum We are most grateful to them for making possible this enthralling glimpse into Shakespeare’s imagined worlds’.45 But how, exactly, did BP make this signal event possible? With BP’s financial commitment to the British 174 Susan Bennett Museum no more than £500,000 annually (committed each year over five years, 2011–2015) and the Museum’s overall budget each year currently running at about £144 million, BP’s contribution is less than 1% of total operating costs The Royal Shakespeare Company reported for 2014–15 income of £63.9 million, 25% of which came from Arts Council England Only £3.6 million came from corporate sponsorships and donations from private individuals, trusts and foundations.46 As a point of comparison, Evans reminds her readers that in 2004 BP ‘spent over £136 million developing and rebuilding the brand of its new logo, the “helios”’.47 And, of course, BP is far from the only oil company hoping that arts advertising and sponsorship might clean up a tarnished brand Shell, for example, was the co-producer with the Rijksmuseum and the National Gallery for the latter’s autumn 2014 blockbuster show of Rembrandt’s late paintings – the entrance to which involved navigating promotional materials that extended the partnership beyond the exhibition itself This display suggested ‘Science meets art as Shell and the National Gallery come together to preserve some of Rembrandt’s finest works’ and pointed out that ‘Together, we are using cutting-edge laboratory techniques usually reserved for the analysis of fuel molecules to study why some red pigments found in many of Rembrandt’s masterpieces are fading’ Like Shakespeare, Rembrandt functions here to co-produce Shell’s message about its investment in technologies that benefit the ‘best’ of Western civilisation To realise a flash-mob intervention at the Rembrandt show, actors from Reclaim Shakespeare combined with another protest group, Shell Out Sounds48 to stage a parody of another early modern play, Dr Faustus This musical version of Marlowe’s play was staged at the National Gallery on 14 October 2014; its plot had ‘Museum Man’ (a representation of the Gallery director) sell his soul to a Shell Executive who was dressed as the devil Their interactions were punctuated by a repeated chorus: ‘See the oil spill/Breathe the gas flare/ Taste the tar sands/The deeds of Shell’.49 Security guards were unsuccessful in stopping the performance, and while the police were summoned to the scene, they did not arrive until the group had left the gallery In May 2015, it was reported that Shell had attempted to interfere in the design of a climate change exhibition at London’s Science Museum for which it was a sponsor Terry Macalister’s story in the Guardian included quotations from emails written by a Shell employee to the museum, suggesting that the company’s ‘climate change advisers’ be invited to help with a ‘content refresh’.50 Then, in November, the Science Museum responded to a Freedom of Information request to reveal that its sponsorship deal Sponsoring Shakespeare 175 with Shell would not be renewed after its expiry at the end of the year Nonetheless, the Museum’s spokesperson noted: ‘we have a long-term relationship with Shell, with whom we remain in open dialogue We may or may not enter into partnership agreements with Shell in the future’.51 Other groups in the Art Not Oil coalition bring Reclaim Shakespeare-styled interventions to other UK cultural institutions: these include Liberate Tate (campaigning against BP’s sponsorship of the Tate galleries), Rising Tide UK (a climate change activist group focusing on Shell’s sponsorship of the arts) and Platform London (who pursue ‘projects that push for social & ecological justice, with a particular focus on the oil and gas sector’).52 In December 2015, Platform London organised a three-day unauthorised arts festival inside the Tate Modern to challenge BP’s sponsorship deal with the Tate galleries, due to expire in December 2016 They reported that more than 4,000 Tate visitors engaged with the festival, with more than 1,000 actively participating in events.53 At the conclusion of their study of Shakespeare’s cultural value in the contemporary world, McLuskie and Rumbold write: ‘Shakespeare’s value is not corrupted by commercial forces, but is continually co-produced by brands and institutions in an increasingly complex dance of the ultimately inseparable forces of culture and the market’.54 So what was advertised in these various examples from the World Shakespeare Festival and for whom? These questions ask us, I think, to debate vigorously the ethical entanglements that surround the financial models of arts funding and our obligations as theatregoers and museum visitors as we participate in these practices There is growing public support for fossil fuel divestment, as evidenced in the sales of oil, gas and coal company shares by more than 2,000 institutions and 400 individuals worldwide Total withdrawals are estimated at £2.6 trillion.55 This action suggests that visitors to theatres and museums are likely not persuaded by Bard-branded greenwashing by BP and others But, at the same time, this shift in public opinion has not translated into a significant boycott of those cultural institutions supported by oil company funds, even if the branding strategy is exposed on site (as in the case of Reclaim Shakespeare performances) The Association of Leading Visitor Attractions figures for 2014 show the British Museum in top place (as it has been for each of the last five years), with the National Gallery and Southbank Centre in second and third – with more than six million visitors apiece.56 Theatregoers and museum visitors might not buy the message, but they are still willing to buy the subsidised ticket More generally, it is the case that scholars have been rather late to this ‘complex dance’, and it is now more than time for us to more explicitly 176 Susan Bennett account for the instrumental values of Bard Branding in the market Of course, many of the cultural institutions whose work we enthusiastically support and with which we critically engage find themselves with precarious budget conditions – sometimes of their own making, but most often as a result of government ‘austerity’ measures (most explicitly seen and felt in the United Kingdom, but certainly far more widespread geographically) Against this economic reality, corporate sponsorship cannot be easily refused, but the performances by Reclaim Shakespeare and other arts activists remind us that we have a responsibility to pay much more attention to the national and corporate values and goals that lie behind sponsoring Shakespeare Notes The Charlie the Tuna example
