The Kingston Shakespeare Seminar and British Shakespeare Association announce a conference to celebrate and explore the work of John Barton and Peter Hall, focused on their productions of Shakespeare. The aim of this commemorative event will be to bring together theatre practitioners, scholars, critics and audience members from around the world, to reconsider the achievements of the two great Shakespeare directors. The venue will be the Shakespearean auditorium of the Rose Theatre that saw some of Peter Hall's last productions, and John Barton's final public appearance at Trevor Nunn's restaging of their Wars of the Roses.

We are delighted to announce Dame Janet Suzman, Trevor Nunn, Sir Stanley Wells and Dame Judith Dench as our guests.
