Join us in November
for two exciting events at George Washington University Medieval and Early
Modern Studies Institute and Dean's Scholars in Shakespeare Program:
On
Monday, Nov. 12, from 1-2 pm, Dr. Dennis Kennedy will be presenting a lecture
on “The Culture of the Spectator.” Currently Beckett Professor of Drama
Emeritus in Trinity College Dublin, Dennis Kennedy will consider examples from
sports, popular culture, and the theatre in order to open up a discussion about
a ‘culture’ of the spectator in the present.

Erika
Lin will be with us on Tuesday, Nov. 27, from 11:10 am-12:20 pm, to explore
early modern theatre. Lin, an Assistant Professor of English at George Mason
University, takes a close look at Thomas Dekker’s play “The Shoemaker’s
Holiday” as she explores the process by which festivity was transformed into
commercial theatre through the act of performance in “Playing with Time:
Pancakes and Bells in ‘The Shoemaker’s Holiday.’”
