New Conference Announced
The British Theatre Consortium is pleased to announce a new conference entirely dedicated to the art of creating punning titles for theatre conferences. The first session ‘Welcome to the House of Pun’ will centre on a keynote address by David Edgar and consist largely of telling the history of British theatre through song titles. The second session, ‘When I Hear the Word Culture I Reach For My Pun’ is a panel discussion, in which Mark Ravenhill and Emma Rice will debate the role of the pun in postmodern, postdramatic, posteverything theatre. In the final session ‘Here Comes the Pun’, a panel of Liverpool playwrights will talk about the good old days and how they don’t write ‘em like they used to. The conference will conclude with the ritual denunciation of the conference organisers for various exclusions of oppressed and marginalised groups.
