Ramie Targoff - Shakespeare's Sisters

In the first of our After Hours events, Professor Ramie Targoff will be discussing her exciting new book, Shakespeare’s Sisters, which explodes our notion of the role of women in the Renaissance period.

This insightful talk will use the lives of four female writers from Shakespeare’s time - Mary Sidney, Aemilia Lanyer, Elizabeth Cary, and Anne Clifford – who all managed to find their own voices at a time when women were not expected or sometimes permitted to have the same standing in society as men.

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. 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.
