Living Shakespeare - February 2025

Adult leisure learning

Join us in February 2025 for a conversation-packed couple of days to explore Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' and Christopher Marlowe's 'Edward II'.

Learn more about the plays from our guest speakers Professor Miriam Gilbert (Emerita University of Iowa) and Dr Anouska Lester (University Of York), as well as from our in-house team of Dr Darren Freebury-Jones, Dr Jennifer Waghorn, and Dr Nick Walton.

Enjoy watching the plays performed on stage and then discuss them the following morning with insights from theatre practitioners. A great opportunity to watch and discuss Shakespeare and Marlowe's work cheek by jowl.
