Join us in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse for this insightful, active investigation into Shakespeare’s ‘dramaturgy of consent’, asking: what happens when characters in his plays say ‘no’?

Led by Dr Hailey Bachrach (University of Roehampton), the evening looks at the moments Shakespeare builds dramatic power from staging the act of consent – or its absence – and invites us to explore our own responses to the challenging ethics of early modern drama.

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.

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