This event is part of a week-long programme of films and conversations celebrating diversity. Seeing Shakespeare Through Each Other’s Eyes offers a unique opportunity to see how, on stage and screen, radically different social experiences and artistic traditions are shedding new light on the masterpieces at the very heart of ‘British’ culture.

As the climax of the season Shakespeare Through Each Others’ Eyes, we invite you to attend a round table discussion asking – do we need a Multicultural Shakespeare?

Have Shakespeare’s plays and the values they embody become agents of diversity or exclusion?

What obstacles do performers from minority British communities face today?

What are directors and actors of African and Asian descent saying about Shakespeare’s relevance or redundancy?

What can we learn from America?

Shakespeare is the symbolic heart of British culture but - who owns Shakespeare?
