She will discuss what might be gained from understanding Shakespeare as a collaborator. Tues. July 6th at 7pm ( book by 6) www.trybooking.co.uk/BCLE £6 (£5 Friends of The Rose)

NEXT WEEK:
Dr Hannah O’Regan: Bear baiting in Bankside and beyond:

Another age, another approach to animals...animal baiting was widespread throughout England, but Bankside was a particular focus, with multiple arenas being built to accommodate the crowds. Patronised by everyone from monarchs to maids, baiting was a key part of the early modern entertainment economy. Despite this, it has received relatively little study, perhaps because it runs counter to the image of England as ‘a nation of animal lovers’. This talk presents what is known of baiting from current scholarship and will also present some early findings from the Box Office Bears project.( picture of Bear Baiting by kind permission of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
