Stripp'd & Fourplay

Shakespeare and Creativity MA students from the University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute are “challenging Shakespeare” in two new plays: *Stripp’d* Ignomy and shame! Stripp’d explores how we build our identity, piece by piece, from the thoughts and words of others—and what happens when those masks are stripped away. Both intimate and raw, Stripp’d contains mature language and themes of sexuality and violence. *Fourplay* What if your presence was felt more in your absence? Four of Shakespeare’s leading ladies sit and wait. Whom—or what—are they waiting for? Meet the women who are not afraid to make the first move. Guidance: Contains adult themes.

The panel joining Erica Whyman (RSC Deputy Artistic Director and director of Romeo and Juliet) to discuss the current relevance of a 400 year old storyline includes Chloe Combi (author of Generation Z: Their Voices, Their Lives), Andrew French (playing Friar Laurence) and Susie Murphy (Development Manager, Positive Youth Foundation).
