Hamlet’s Hereditary Queen In-Person

Join author Kerrie Roberts for an engaging discussion based on her book Hamlet’s Hereditary Queen: Performing Shakespeare's Silent Female Power. Roberts offers a fresh interpretation of Gertrude in Hamlet, portraying her as a powerful and politically astute queen.

Drawing from her expertise as a theatre practitioner and scholar, Roberts will explore innovative performance choices and the historical context of queenship in early modern England.

This talk is essential for theatre practitioners, students, and scholars interested in Shakespeare, performance studies, and gender in theatre. Discover how Gertrude's silent yet powerful presence can be brought to life in modern performances of Hamlet.
