Abstract
Abstract The Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia places Shakespeare’s ‘works . . . at the foundation of theatre in this country’, noting that the plays are ‘performed in all styles at virtually all the major theatres, in French and in English, across the nation’. This article surveys some of this Shakespearean activity, noting that Shakespeare is central and significant both to the more commercial and conservative Canadian theatrical institutions (especially the Stratford Festival of Canada) and to the most radical, decolonizing and critical theatre practices within the First Nations, English Canada and Quebec. Shakespearean adaptation is an important cultural phenomenon, and the subject of a major research initiative, the Canadian Adaptations of Shakespeare Project (CASP), at the University of Guelph. ‘Shakespeare’ and ‘Canada’ are in dynamic relation; as CASP Director, Daniel Fischlin, puts it, Shakespeare is one of the sites around which the ‘we’ (that thinks itself Canadian) engages in the struggle to authenticate and transform the dialogues and interpretations that make us who ‘we’ are.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
