On Shakespeare, Power and Politics

Shakespeare knew that “uneasy lies the head that wears a crown”.

Throughout his work he was not afraid to speak to and question political structures, and how humans have grappled with and sought power throughout history. His expansive stories include characters that are drawn from the pages of history and reflect the ambitions of the common man. Join us for a series of explosive conversations featuring representatives from the worlds of the arts, politics, academia and media, as we explore power and politics in Shakespeare’s plays.
