Fakespeare: The story of the Vortigern hoax
Presented by ANU College of Arts & Social Sciences
Join Dr Kate Flaherty, Senior Lecturer in English and Drama at ANU, and actors from Bell Shakespeare as they uncover one of the most amusing and successful literary hoaxes of all time. Hear the voices of those who were fooled and those who were not, and ponder the question: can fake art have real merit?
The event will be introduced by Dr Susannah Helman, National Library Curator of Rare Books and Music atthe National Library of Australia, who will speak about the items in the Library's collection.
Entry is free to this event but bookings are essential.
The talk will be available to view live online via the Library's Facebook and YouTube pages. You do not need to book a ticket to watch the event online.
This event is presented in partnership with the Australian National University (ANU) and Bell Shakespeare.
