Join this special workshop in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse which invites us to reconsider the global nature of early modern English drama.

Reshape your understanding of how playwrights engaged with cross-cultural encounters and identities, discovering how Shakespeare and other early modern dramatists represented the world, and people, beyond England’s borders.

Join Professor Matthew Dimmock (University of Sussex) and Dr Sarah Dustagheer (University of Kent) who are leading a major new digital project to identify every non-Christian and non-European dramatic character on the Renaissance stage.

This event is part of our ongoing Research in Action series which gives audiences a chance to be part of the Globe’s world-leading exploration of early modern and contemporary performance culture and collaborate with academics, educators and artists. This event will enhance the studies of academics, researchers and Higher Education students, as well as lifelong lovers of Shakespeare.

Expect discoveries – and expect to be asked for your input!
