Literary Tea 2022: Shakespeare's First Folio with Sir Simon Russell Beale and Professor Emma Smith

On 13th November 2022, we welcomed alumni to a Somerville Literary Tea featuring Sir Simon Russell Beale and Professor Emma Smith (1988, English) in conversation. The pair were there to discuss all things Shakespeare in advance of the imminent 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare’s First Folio. The event was dedicated to the eminent Shakespeare scholar Professor Katherine Duncan-Jones, our Fellow and Tutor in English for 35 years, who died in October 2022.
