After a year-long celebration of the quartercentenary of Shakespeare’s death, it’s time to move from reflection to future directions. What will Shakespearean text and performance look like, beyond the 400 year anniversary? This symposium will draw on the expertise of its four keynote speakers from the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham and the University of York to focus on questions of editing and performance.
Keynote speakers include:
- Dr Sarah Olive, University of York: Defining the BBC 2012 and 2016 Shakespeare Seasons in Festival Terms
- Dr Erin Sullivan, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham: Shakespeare and the digital sphere: performance and the public in the RSC / Google+’s Midsummer Night’s Dreaming
- Professor John Jowett, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham: Defining Shakespeare
- Dr Will Sharpe, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham: Canon, Chronology and Collaboration in Shakespeare’s Early Career
