Professor Nandini Das - The Life of Eleanor Roe

For our July After Hours talk, we will be welcoming author Professor Nandini Das to talk about her book Courting India and the story of Sir Thomas Roe (first ambassador to the Mughal Empire, under James I) and his wife, Eleanor.

Bringing the story closer to home, it is believed the beautiful, embroidered jacket in the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust's collection once belonged to Eleanor herself.

A question and answer discussion will follow the author talk.

Included in this event is exclusive access to our new exhibition, Hidden Voices: The Women Who Made Shakespeare, which you can explore at your leisure as part of your evening.

After Hours at New Place Talks take place between 6pm and 8pm, talks start at 6:30. Refreshments will be available to purchase, and The New Place Shop will be open for book signings and browsing after all talks.

Tickets are £10 per person, per event. Your ticket price includes exclusive access to the exhibition at Shakespeare’s New Place.
