Shakespeare on the move: Gold rush to Great War

Join us for the third illustrated Shakespeare lecture and discover the objects and stories that reveal how Shakespeare made landfall in Australia.

The Library’s collections preserve an extraordinary array of the physical remnants of Shakespeare performance in Australia—playbills, broadsides, portraits, photographs, manuscripts, music and more.

Dr Kate Flaherty (Australian National University), Dr Susannah Helman (National Library of Australia), Linda Bull (National Library of Australia), with actors from Bell Shakespeare illustrate this Shakespeare lecture and uncover the objects and stories that reveal how Shakespeare made landfall in Australia.
