This public lecture will explore racial impersonation and consider the role the archives have played in generating a theatrical history of Renaissance plays. It will ask what role decolonisation has to play in theatre historiography and delve into the materiality and aesthetics of racial impersonation in Shakespeare’s time. A reception with opportunity for book signing will follow the lecture. 

Professor Farah Karim-Cooper is a Humanities Cultural Programme Visiting Fellow for 2022-2023.
