The third day of our Ninth International Conference in the environs of Deptford featured a series of morning panels. Delegates then traveled west to Bankside and the City for a walking tour of “Marlovian(ish)” places of interest—the Rose, King’s Wardrobe, entry to Blackfriars, Blackfriars, and Donne’s house (the Deanery)—led by the inimitable Tracey Hill. Many delegates also enjoyed special access to the Rose Playhouse site. The day finished with a terrific Research in Action workshop at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse (Shakespeare’s Globe), led by MSA President Lucy Munro and Sarah Dustagheer of the University of Kent. The workshop focused on Marlowe’s plays in repertory and set scenes from Tamburlaine and Dido alongside scenes from Selimus and Wars of Cyrus. Many thanks to actors Suzanne Ahmet, James Barnes, Anna Crichlow, and Kwami Odoom for workshopping the scenes with us.
