William Shakespeare

Ian Burrows is a Fellow of Clare College, teaching and researching drama (and early modern drama in particular). He is especially interested in the exploration and exploitation of physicality in theatrical spaces, which he considers in his book Shakespeare for Snowflakes: On Slapstick and Sympathy, and which he continues to consider in the forthcoming Punctuation and Personality in Early Modern Printed Plays: Printing Hiccups. He is the co-convenor of the 'Beyond the Trigger' research programme, which uses techniques of embodied rehearsal and performance to reflect on the teaching of traumatic and traumatising literary material. Sarah Neville is an Associate Professor of English at the Ohio State University with a courtesy appointment in Theatre, Film, and Media Arts. She specializes in early modern English literature, bibliography, theories of textuality, and performance, chiefly examining the ways that authority is negotiated in print, digital, and live media. She is an assistant editor of The New Oxford Shakespeare (2016-17), for which she edited five plays in both old and modern-spelling editions, as well as an associate coordinating editor of the Digital Renaissance Editions.
