Abstract
Adaptations of Shakespeare’s works occur in a variety of locations, one of the primary being the theatrical festivals dedicated to the Bard. Situated across Canada, these festivals – from Bard on the Beach in Vancouver to the Shakespeare by the Sea Festival in St. John’s – provide a variety of audiences with access to live performances of versions of Shakespeare’s works. To keep up with and attract media-savvy audiences, the festivals have had to create web sites to help advertise their productions. These web sites range from simplistic, low-graphic virtual “posters” to highly detailed sites with animation and extensive menus linking to numerous sub-pages. These web sites, though, are not just advertisements for theatre. With common features such as links to merchandise, memberships, and local tourist attractions mixed in among company histories, play summaries, and production photos, the festival web sites go beyond advertising and raise questions about the role(s) of the Web in relation to the production and reception of Shakespearean adaptations in Canada. Specifically, the overall construction of the festival web sites, particularly their opening home pages, frame the image of each festival as a locus of more or less authentic “Shakespeare.” The sites, as a whole, stress that they are bringing the cultural capital of the Bard to their audiences. What the virtual ads do not always express, to the same degree, is the adaptive nature of the Shakespearean product on offer and that the Bard, even in a traditional staging, is never presented unmediated. Since it is impossible to recreate a Shakespearean text as it was originally presented, any performance of Shakespeare’s works, however slightly altered, is necessarily an adaptation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
