Tony Keen
This course looks at Roman Britain on screen. It will examine various ideas about the depiction of the province, and how those have manifested themselves in productions over the years. The course includes dramatic movies, comedies, whole television series and broadcast versions of Shakespeare’s plays. In each class, we will look at a particular category of Roman Britain on screen and an example of that depiction. Tony Keen is an expert in this area.
All sessions are recorded, and the recordings are distributed subsequently to ticket holders.
