Excited to be co-organising a seminar with @gemmaallred.bsky.social and @edelsemple.bsky.social at the World Shakespeare Congress! 🌍🎭 Join us in Verona to talk about Shakespeare’s Tragedies and their Twenty-First-Century Reverberations. If you have any questions, please do get in touch 🙂 #WSC2026
S27.
Shakespeare’s Tragedies and their Twenty-First-Century Reverberations
Organisers: Gemma Kate Allred, Benjamin Broadribb, Edel Semple

Description: This seminar explores reverberations of Shakespeare’s tragedies across a range of twenty-first-century media. Venturing beyond the safely-charted territory of traditional stage and screen performances, the seminar considers how Shakespeare’s tragic protagonists, narratives, themes, and tropes haunt, echo in, or inspire contemporary cultural objects. Papers may address tragic echoes and textual hauntings in drama, film, TV, prose, advertising, and other media. Key questions include: why do twenty-first-century artists look to Shakespeare’s tragedies; how can these echoes and hauntings illuminate Shakespeare’s tragedies; and how might reverberations galvanise shifts away from imbalanced power structures, and towards greater empathy and equality for historically marginalised communities?

Five years ago today, physical theatre spaces in the UK were forced to go dark as the COVID-19 pandemic took hold of the nation and the world. I remain in awe of what creative practitioners achieved during a time of unimaginable loss and uncertainty through the will to innovate, adapt and survive /1

/2 by moving into digital spaces during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. My continued hope is that Lockdown Shakespeare, which I co-edited with @gemmaallred.bsky.social and Erin Sullivan in 2022, goes some way to capturing and doing justice to the work that took place during that extraordinary time.

Enjoyed robust debate in the Abridging Shakespeare seminar yesterday - always great to have seminar members who engage with your paper - even if my underlying argument is framed in negatives: that Hamlet doesn’t exist and the act of abridgment is better described as an act of expansion. #Shax2025

Theatre thoughts from super Saturday… Jamie Lloyd The Tempest - intriguingly dark and Ariel stole the show (as it should be). Donmar Macbeth - I could watch that production for ever and never need another version!

Also @rickydukes.bsky.social popping into the ladies at Southwark Playhouse… literally stopped at the door with a very visual flashback of Ophelia in @lazarustheatre.bsky.social Hamlet.
