Shakespeare – A German Writer
Wednesday, 6 July 2016, at 6.30 pm
at the Senate House, University of London, Malet Street, WC1E 7HU
Another chance to see the acclaimed event first performed at the Globe, London.
Translated into German at a crucial moment in the formation of a German literary canon, Shakespeare has been seen by many in Germany as the third great national poet, next to Goethe and Schiller. This evening is
dedicated to exploring and celebrating the impact Shakespeare’s works have had on German culture. Listeners will be guided through the history of Shakespeare reception in Germany, with actors reading key texts in English and German as well as extracts from
German films, silent and modern, bringing the poet’s words to life.
Devised by Martin Swales (University College London) and Godela Weiss-Sussex (IMLR, London), this multimedia celebration was first performed at Shakespeare’s Globe in London, and transferred to the International
Shakespeare Festival in Neuss/Rhein (Germany).
Tickets: £5 (standard); £3 (concessions)
