In Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell’s skill and imagination make the ordinary truly extraordinary. Telling the stories of women and children – Annis, Hamnet, Judith and Susanna – she brings history’s ‘walk-on’ parts to the centre of the stage. Using Hamnet as their inspiration, Janet Dickinson and Lynn Robson weave together historical records, literature, and art to explore the extraordinary lives of ‘ordinary’ Tudor people.  This informal discussion will be taking place in Oxford’s hidden gem – The Painted Room – the Oxford place where Shakespeare slept.
