Hello all, please take a look at the video we've made about the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death and our 'Shakespeare in London' editathon at the University of London's Senate House Library this weekend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsI5PZkC6_kMuseum of London Archeology (MOLA) kindly showed us around the dig site of The Curtain theatre, one of Elizabethan London's main playhouses where Shakespeare would have performed and directed in the 1590s. Many people don't know much about the legacy of Shakespearean performance in East London, as Shakespeare spent the remainder of his career mostly at The Rose and The Globe on Bankside.
We hope this is an opportunity to enlarge open access knowledge about the latest developments in our understanding of 16th and 17th century London and its vibrant culture. Please share our video and let people know about this weekend's editathon!
