Lisa Peter

In her teaching at the Trust, Lisa particularly looks after international groups whose first language is any other than English, and she specialises in Shakespeare translations and the Shakespeare reception around the world. Her new range of educational sessions for language learners at the Trust was launched in 2015 and she co-developed the MOOC Exploring English: Shakespeare together with the British Council. In addition, Lisa contributed to the BBC Learning English series Shakespeare Speaks and she has written study guides for Digital Theatre Plus. 

Lisa’s background is that of a university lecturer in English literature and culture. She taught at Tubingen University in Germany at undergraduate and postgraduate levels on a range of subjects, including contemporary poetry and new writing for the theatre. Apart from more straightforwardly literary interests, she is fascinated by the cultural climate surrounding the genesis of art.
