Brief Description: What is Hong Kong Shakespeare? Can we try to understand it from the sinicized, aestheticized and socio-politicised theatrical adaptations of Shakespearean plays produced by different Hong Kong directors? Should Hong Kong Shakespeare deserve an independent narrative in the current intellectual map of Asian Shakespeare? Welcome to this research seminar given by Dr. Miriam Lau, author of The Making of Hong Kong Shakespeare (Palgrave, 2026).
