Theatre Thursday: Upcoming Lecture on the Bad Boys of Elizabethan Theatre

Dr. Andy Kesson, a writer, teacher, occasional director & historian at the University of Kent & The Globe Theatre, alerted me to his upcoming lecture at the Globe on December 10th at 6 pm. The lecture will be nothing short of exciting, since Dr. Kesson will be discussing the "bad boys" of Elizabethan theatre!

Dr. Kesson's work on John Lyly and Early Modern Authorship & The Elizabethan Top Ten will be available to the public in 2013.

There are also other educational lectures and seminars to look forward to at The Globe this holiday season; if you are in the London area, you should certainly check them out!
