The Arts Society Cotswolds November 13 Lecture in Burford
November 13th “William Shakespeare and his turbulent world” with Elizabeth Merry
It’s said that a Shakespeare play is being performed somewhere in the world every minute of every day. In this lecture we explore what is known about his life in the turbulent and often dangerous world of Elizabethan and Jacobean England, and look at the development of English Renaissance theatre. We also focus on some of the portraits purporting to be of Shakespeare and examine the theories behind them.
Lectures begin at 11.00 at the Warwick Hall, Church Green, Burford OX18 4RZ. Non-members are welcome (suggested donation £10). For more information see our website
