Shakespeare's Knotty Comedies: Study Day
Join academics and artists for an insightful, day-long exploration of Shakespeare’s Knotty Comedies, inspired by our upcoming production of his cutting All’s Well That Ends Well in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse this winter.
Sometimes the boundary between humour and pathos is anything but clear. Through a series of talks and seminars, we’ll unpack the pleasure – and pain – of some of Shakespeare’s thorniest comedies, which challenge our notions of love, morality, and happy endings.
You’ll end the day with a Q&A with members of our All’s Well That Ends Well Company, giving you the chance to ask questions and gain further insight into the plays.
This Study Day can be enjoyed on its own but is also a perfect introduction to our production of All’s Well That Ends Well. So why not round off your day with a ticket to the evening performance following the Study Day? Tickets for the performance are not included in the Study Day ticket price and must be purchased separately.
