‘Types of Titus’: Titus Andronicus and Social Justice

Uploaded: 25th March 2023

This roundtable examined Titus Andronicus as a play historically implicated in the nexus between racial discrimination, sexual violence and political division. With a particular emphasis on the 2023 production held at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, the roundtable featured a series of short provocations upon Titus in the context of social justice from scholars and practitioners, followed by a brief panel discussion.

Roundtable organisers: Pascale Aebischer (University of Exeter) and Emily Louisa Smith (Université de Genève).

Speakers: Georgia Fulton (Université de Genève), Farah Karim-Cooper (Shakespeare’s Globe / King’s College London), Harry McCarthy (University of Cambridge), Chloe Preedy (University of Exeter), Maria Shmygol (University of Galway), Emily Smith (Université de Genève) and Victoria Sparey (University of Exeter).
