Shakespeare on the Irish

What did Shakespeare think of the Irish? How did he include them in his plays? What does this say about views of Irishness today?
Explore the context for and interpretations of the Bard?s inclusions and explore what tropes, prevailing politics and characteristics he adopted to include Irish people in his stories.
Part seminar, part workshop; participants will hear from Catherine Harvey (actor, writer and broadcaster) -visiting Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Niagara- and will workshop mixed-heritage approaches with Ashleigh Nugent.
