Prof. Tiffany Stern FBA
Tiffany Stern’s talk will be on the plays and puppets that English travelling
players brought to Northern and Central Europe in the time of Shakespeare.
Where did players and puppets perform, how, and in what language?
Telling the story of Hamlet, Doctor Faustus, and The Creation of the World
in the Continent, it will ask how Shakespeare, Marlowe and Milton became
puppet shows, and where traces of those productions can still be found.
