What do whistleblowers, social media influencers and William Shakespeare have in common?

More than you might think.

Four hundred years before hashtags, algorithms and viral outrage, Shakespeare was writing about misinformation, public opinion, political legitimacy and the abuse of power. Working under royal patronage and strict censorship, he mastered the art of asking dangerous questions from within the establishment itself.

Join Shakespeare specialist Rebecca Morris for a fresh, lively and accessible exploration of why Shakespeare's plays still speak directly to the world we live in today, and why, in an age of instant opinions and endless information, they remain one of our best guides to navigating uncertainty.
