Delia Goes Cock-a-Hoop for Shakespeare

Bath Spa University invited Delia to speak at a national symposium exploring Shakespeare in the New Millennium.

Hosted by the Department of Performing Arts, in partnership with the Bristol Shakespeare Festival, ‘Cock-A-Hoop’ brought together artists, academics and students from a wide range of disciplines to share ideas, research, practice, and performances under the topic of contemporary Shakespeare. The interactive event also emphasised contemporary approaches to Shakespeare in practice.

Delia gave a presentation on ‘Caesar in Africa: A Look at How West African Writers have played with Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar’, inspired by her first novel, Moses, Citizen and Me.

Other speakers included Dr Anna Farthing, director, producer and board member of the Bristol Shakespeare Festival and Peter Swords King, Academy Award and Bafta winner for Make Up & Hair Design in Peter Jackson’s Lord of The Rings.
