Christopher Marlowe in Performance (15 - 18, Apr 2012, deadline Sep 30, 2011)

This panel seeks to examine the stage history of Christopher Marlowe’s dramatic works, considering the literature as the product of a theatre artist. Papers will be asked to approach Marlowe's plays from a theatrical standpoint, in order to discuss what we might learn from by examining the force of performance as a shaping factor in the reception of Marlowe’s small but vibrant body of work. Papers that discuss cinematic treatments of the plays, as well as considerations of Marlowe’s place in Elizabethan stage history are also welcome. Please send abstracts of 250 words to Louise Geddes atLGeddes@adelphi.edu. Deadline for submissions is September 30, 2011.
