Galatea

Before Shakespeare has been thinking about John Lyly’s play Galatea (1584) as part of our various collaborations with the theatremaker Emma Frankland and Emma’s production of the play. Here, we include all our materials on the play, the production, and its research and development, from workshop insights with performers, translating the play into British Sign Language, innovative ways of working with early modern drama, and understanding the queer and racial implications of Lyly’s radical play.
