The Shakespeare in Practice network launched in 2008 to bring together scholars developing performance-based approaches to the study of Shakespeare. To mark our tenth anniversary, and to celebrate the latest volumes in the Palgrave book series Shakespeare in Practice, this conference showcases new and daring approaches to performing Shakespeare, as well as issues facing contemporary theatre such as non-directed Shakespeare, immersive performance and digital theatre. Presentations will offer new insights into theatre history in relation to Shakespeare.

If arriving by train, a taxi will cost about £4.50 but the campus is only a 10 minute walk from the train station (follow the footsteps on the campus map below).
