In the wake of the #MeToo movement, women’s voices are stronger than ever. Yet characters like John Proctor, Henry VIII and Falstaff remind us how patriarchal societies contribute to a male sense of privilege and entitlement. Our panel examines some of the sources and costs of this behaviour.

Panellists:
Antoni Cimolino, Artistic Director
Irene Poole, this season's Katherine in Henry VIII
Jacqueline Wernimont, Distinguished Chair of Digital Humanities and Social Engagement and Associate Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, Dartmouth College

Moderator:
Shereen El Feki, journalist and author
