Race and Shakespearean Performance Daphne Harrison Lecture Ayanna Thompson, Associate Dean of the Faculty and Department of English, Arizona State University What does it mean to cast Shakespeare in a nontraditional way? How is Shakespeare's universalism constructed within explicit discussions and debates about racial identity? And, do the answers to these questions impact our understanding of authorship, authority, and authenticity? This talk will examine the ways Shakespeare, race, and performance intersect on the twenty-first century stage. Co-sponsored by the Dresher Center for the Humanities and Department of English with support from the Theater Department Wednesday, April 17, 4:00 p.m. Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery
