On Thursday 13 March the Society heard a fascinating talk by Rory Loughnane of Kent University on the part played by William Shakespeare and Canterbury’s Christopher Marlowe in reshaping Elizabethan theatre in the later 1580s. Drawing on his forthcoming book on Shakespeare’s early life, Dr Loughnane debunked myths and redrew traditional timelines in a manner that captivated the packed At Peter’s Anglican Church and drew an avalanche of questions.
