The Shakespearean Authorship Trust held annual conferences at Shakespeare's
Globe for three years. In 2003 the theme of the weekend was Richard
II. In the following year the conference was based on Measure
for Measure and the last conference focused on Collaboration.
Speakers at the conferences included Michael Wood, Prof Dan Wright
from Concordia University, and Robin Williams.
The conference was held at the Globe on the 9th and 10th of July and was
made up of interested members of the public and distinguished academics
and experts in the field of Shakespeare authorship studies.
