Dr Jan Graffius, Curator at Stonyhurst College Museum

For “Lady Macbeth” read “Uncle Donald” – How the Jesuits doctored Shakespeare.

Drama was central to Jesuit education. Jan Graffius takes a light-hearted look at how they reconciled their comprehensively male students with the complex demands of Shakespeare’s plays.

After the lecture there will be the opportunity to enjoy a glass of wine or soft drink.
