The University of Bolton would like to welcome you to an Investigate Day to explore the fascinating world of Shakespeare, with particular reference to A Midsummer Nights Dream.

Key speakers will take you on a whistle stop tour of Shakespeare and will explore how his work has transcended across many genres and mediums.

There will be a range of presentations by professionals, who will put Shakespeare under the microscope for a closer investigation into a man that produced some of the greats. These include:

  • Dr. Mel Gibson from the University of Northumbria, who will be discussing the graphic novel versions of Shakespeare's work;
  • Brid Andrews, from the University of Bolton who will be discussing the filmic adaptations of the play and
  • Professor Richard Wilson, from Cardiff University who is an expert in the field of Shakespeare's work.

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone, young or old that has a passion for Shakespeare's plays.
