Encounters with Slapstick and Sympathy: Slosh

Cambridge University

November 20

Judith E. Wilson Drama Studio

The lectures will be led by Ian Burrows, author of Shakespeare for Snowflakes: On Slapstick and Sympathy, and the performer Meg Lewis. Together they will examine in detail some forms of dramatic coercion as practised inside and outside the theatre. All are welcome. This lecture follows another given the previous day, but it is not necessary to attend both. No prior knowledge of the texts discussed and tested will be assumed. Both lectures will allow time for discussion and response at their conclusion.
