From the conference\u00a0 organisers:<\/p>\n
“Our second conference, to be held at Kingsway, University of Chester, 11-12 September 2014, will focus on perceived notions of Beckett at the margins, on productions staged outside London and other major theatrical centres. What has the impact of Beckett\u2019s drama been upon regional, small national, touring and marginal theatrical practices and cultures? What is at stake when staging Beckett in marginal cultures or lesser-known geographical areas? How does Beckett\u2019s work move from a country\u2019s capital city to its regions? Does Beckett\u2019s work speak to national, or local, cultural contexts? How does it fit within established theatrical, cultural and economic infrastructures?<\/p>\n
Keynote presentation by Professor Carl Lavery (University of Glasgow).<\/p>\n
We have\u00a0speakers coming from all over the world to talk about these topics and we expect\u00a0this international aspect of the conference to be\u00a0particularly productive. We hope to see you there!”<\/p>\n
