Theatre and Empire
The historical age of empires may be over, but empire, as an idea, continues to exercise a hold over our imaginations.

Female managers, playwrights, and performers emerge from the archives to forge geographical and temporal ‘intertheatricalities’ with contemporary productions by women who revisit and re-stage the period and with neo-Victorian fiction written by women and inspired by Victorian stage practices and spectacle.
