FREE PUBLIC LECTURE by Professor Martin White.

Staging the Past, Thursday 11 July 2005, 6 pm, Geography Lecture Theatre 1, UWA.

The reconstruction of the Globe Playhouse in London has attracted praise and criticism. Some see it as a vibrant theatrical experience and an opportunity to explore the theatrical past; others dismiss it as a tourist trap. In this lecture Martin White discusses the thinking behind theatrical reconstructions, drawing on the Globe and his own work using a full scale, candelit replica of a Jacobean indoor playhouse. The lecture will be illustrated with unique film footage of performances in candlelight.
