A free online talk with people engaged in Shakespeare-related research - In conversation with Tamara Harvey.
For the next edition of our online research conversations we are thrilled to welcome Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and to learn about her insights as a director of Shakespeare.
How does a director enable an actor to build characterisation?
How do Shakespeare’s female characters differ from his male roles?
What are some of the memorable moments from the rehearsals and performances of the plays that Tamara has directed?
Led by Tamara Harvey, Co-Artistic Director of The Royal Shakespeare Company.
