The Revels Office held its first conference with the Society of Antiquaries of London on 13 June 2025. The conference showcased the research of early career scholars working on the intersections between text, materiality, and performance, both in and beyond the commercial theatres in Great Britain and Ireland in the long early modern period (1500-1800).

Our keynote speaker was Professor Catherine Richardson FSA (University of East Anglia).

This conference was generously supported by the Society of Antiquaries of London, Bibliographical Society, Society for Renaissance Studies, Centre for Renaissance and Early Modern Studies (University of York), and British Shakespeare Association
