About this event

How do we adapt Shakespeare’s plays for a contemporary audience while staying true to their essence? Where is the line between interpretation and adaptation, and what are the ethical implications of changing a work without its author’s consent? You are invited to a thought-provoking panel discussion on the art, responsibility, and risks of reimagining the Bard today. Our discussion will take place in the context of the 40th season of Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan, which will feature A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Tragedy of Richard the II.

Literature Matters: Literature in the Community is a free public lecture series sponsored by the University of Saskatchewan Department of English.
