Going to the Playhouse with Shakespeare
About
Tiffany Stern examines the experience of attending a Shakespearean playhouse, from street ballads to performance on stage.
The talk follows arrival at the theatre, the visual signals inside the playhouse and the opening gestures, movement and costume of a performance. It considers what literary study misses when plays are treated only as written words. Shakespeare is the historical subject, not a current performer. Free physical attendance requires registration; a separate online viewing option does not replace the published London lecture. The declared one-hour interval is explicit in the official native feed and linked current booking, not inferred from a typical lecture duration. The current speaker Tiffany Stern is retained by name; no matching verified artist identity was found, so the link remains an enrichment gap.
