Event Description
In this series of talks to mark Women's History Month, Shakespeare specialist Anna Malzy will be guiding you through some of Shakespeare's greatest women. Each week the focus will be on a different play, looking first at the main female character, and then at the other, lesser known women who surround them. The talks will analyse the characters themselves, how views and interpretations of them have changed over the years, some performance history, and of course a look at some of these characters' most famous lines and speeches (which brave participants may be asked to read!)
Join us for a celebration of some of the most enduring, tragic, complex, and powerful characters in literature.
1. Cleopatra and the women of Antony and Cleopatra
2. Rosalind and the women of As You Like It
3. Lady Macbeth and the women of Macbeth
4. Portia and the women of Merchant of Venice
5. Beatrice and the women of Much Ado About Nothing
- Duration: 60 mins x 5
- Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
