Lecture title: Team Shakespeare: authorship and Renaissance theatre

In this lecture I take up two questions: who wrote Shakespeare? and, what did Shakespeare write? I try to answer them both by situating Shakespeare’s plays back in the theatre culture of the early modern period, drawing on new scholarship about collaborative authorship in the Shakespearean canon.

You are most welcome to bring guests. Please note that numbers are limited and allocation of places is strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. The Willis Building is located opposite Lloyd’s of London and the nearest tube stations are Aldgate, Bank and Monument. Willis will also require names for security purposes and you may be required to produce photocopy identification upon arrival.
