This Thursday Bell Shakespeare co-artistic director John Bell will be appearing at an event at the University of Sydney to discuss the agony and the ecstasy of interpreting, teaching and performing the works of Shakespeare in our modern culture. Is there still a place for Shakespeare? What is the value of Shakespeare in our contemporary world (of celebrity and short attention spans!)? Why is Shakespeare simultaneously loathed and adored? Why teach Shakespeare to primary school students? John Bell will be addressing these issues and drawing on his vast experience of interpreting the Bard and working with Bell Shakespeare in schools and theatres across Australia and internationally.
