THE FASCINATION WITH HISTORICAL FICTION

Lazaridis Hall, Tom Patterson Theatre
Thursday, September 5, 2024

Historical fiction combines fiction with historical settings, time periods and events. While historical figures, like William Shakespeare, may appear, the central characters are typically fictional, like Nick and Nigel Bottom in Something Rotten!. Join Professor Thomas Luxon of Dartmouth College, Professor Michael Dove of Western University and Something Rotten! assistant director, Monique Lund as they discuss how fictionalizing history helps people understand the past and present in a deeper way.
