No writer’s work has been translated, performed and transformed by as many cultures across the world as Shakespeare’s.
On June 10th, come to the British Library for a fascinating day of talks and discussions exploring Shakespeare’s global cultural presence from Europe to the Americas via the Indian Ocean. Themes include Shakespeare’s source material; postcolonial adaptations; performance on stage and film; and the cultural politics of European Shakespeare.
The day will bring together speakers from all across the globe to discuss amongst others, postcolonial adaptations of The Tempest, the European influences on Shakespeare’s works and Shakespearean adaptations in America.
The event, held in conjunction with the British Library exhibition Shakespeare in Ten Acts, is organised in partnership with the AHRC ‘Translating Cultures’ Theme, the Polish Cultural Institute and the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library.
The day will include lunch and refreshments and will be followed by a wine reception sponsored by the Eccles Centre for American Studies
