Power and Politics with Bell
Bell Shakespeare hold regular programs in conjunction with their productions. This entertaining panel discussion delved into Shakespeare’s take on power and politics.
"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown". Shakespeare was never afraid to question power, politics, and how humans have grappled with and sought power throughout history.
From real historical figures to the ambition of the common person, his works hold remarkable relevance to the current geo-political climate.
The lively conversation hosted by Joanna Erskine (Bell Shakespeare Head of Education) featured John Bell, Dan Ilic, Dr Rebecca Huntley and Dr Chris Pepin-Neff. They treated the rapt audience in The Seed on Pier 2/3 to an entertaining exploration of power and politics in Shakespeare's plays.
