Our research builds on valuable international,national and local collaborations. These include AfroReggae in Brazil, companies like Artangel, the Barbican and Shakespeare’s Globe, events like East End Collaborations and the London Film Festival as well as ongoing arts projects in London and across Europe.
Drama staff maintain links with cultural organisations around the world, from the British Council to the Mander and Mitchenson Theatre Collection, and from Performance Studies International to the American Society for Theatre Research. Members of staff are current or recent editors of and advisers to Contemporary Theatre Review, Modern Drama, TheatreForum, Western European Stages, Journal of American Drama and Theatre, Performance Research, Shakespeare Bulletin, Theatre Journal, and the Manchester University Press series Theatre: Theory-Practice-Performance. Drama research at Queen Mary is further enhanced by visits from
