Ridge covers the history of trauma theory from Freud and shell shock to Holocaust studies and PTSD, drawing on psychoanalytic theory, feminist theory, post-colonial theory and disability studies. She also looks at the expansive and growing history of trauma-informed Shakespeare productions and adaptations, which furthers our understanding of key plays and productions. Ridge offers a number of instructive case studies, including \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eR+J\u003c\/i\u003e, which adapted \u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eCry Havoc!\u003c\/i\u003e, a trauma-focused appropriation of Shakespeare's work that led to the development of the DE-CRUIT program. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese case studies suggest how trauma theory can be used as a tool for analyzing Shakespeare as well as engaging with the lived experience of trauma itself.
