Artistic Directors of the RSC become Honorary Fellows of the Shakespeare Institute
Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, the new Joint Artistic Directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company became Senior Honorary Fellows of the Shakespeare Institute.
The Shakespeare Institute gained two new Senior Honorary Research Fellows on 1 February 2024, when Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey, the new Joint Artistic Directors of the Royal Shakespeare Company, spoke to a capacity audience of research students and faculty about their plans for the company and their aspirations for its continuing collaboration with the university.
They join a galaxy of RSC practitioners who have worked with the Institute since the company's foundation in 1960-1 – among them Dame Judi Dench, Dame Harriet Walter, Sir Simon Russell Beale, Sir Kenneth Branagh and Sir Gregory Doran – and we are delighted that the partnership between theatrical and academic expertise in Shakespeare which the Institute has always fostered will continue under their leadership of the company.
