2008 Annual Conference at Shakespeare's Globe announced
31st July 2008
Globe Education at Shakespeare’s Globe is organising a major conference between 24-26 October 2008 in honour of Professor Andrew Gurr and to mark the 400th anniversary of the re-acquisition of the Blackfriars Playhouse.
Director of Globe Education, Patrick Spottiswoode, said: “Globe Education runs an annual conference that seeks to bring theatre scholars and theatre practitioners together to share their differing perspectives on plays and playhouses of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It is fitting that this year’s conference should focus on the Blackfriars Playhouse and is being held to celebrate the work of Andrew Gurr.
The conference programme will include sessions with John Astington, Ralph Cohen, Claire van Kampen, Frank Hildy, Ros Knutson, Michael Hattaway, Lucy Munro and Mark Rylance.
Conference tickets cost £100 and are available by calling Shakespeare’s Globe Box Office on +44 (0)20 7401 9919.
