Author talk: Kerrie Robert's 'Hamlet's Hereditary Queen

Join us as local author Kerrie Roberts explores the hidden power of one of Shakespeare’s most misunderstood queens.

Drawing on her book 'Hamlet’s Hereditary Queen: Performing Shakespeare’s Silent Female Power', Roberts offers a fresh reading of Gertrude -not as a passive consort, but as a politically astute and influential ruler.

Blending theatre practice and scholarship, Roberts will unpack bold performance choices and examine queenship in early modern England, shedding new light on Hamlet and its silent centre.

Perfect for Shakespeare enthusiasts, lovers of classic literature and anyone with a passion for drama.
