Join author Rob Eastaway as he explores the surprising connections between Shakespeare and – of all things - maths, in this highly engaging talk.
Find out how Tudors multiplied, why Shakespeare never ended a line with the word orange, why playing dice games was hazardous, and why early drafts of the plays could possibly have been written with a pencil.
With historical asides about astronomy, games, optics and music thrown in, you might never think about maths or Shakespeare the same way again.
(This is a sneak preview of Rob’s book ‘Much Ado About Numbers’ which is published on 18th April 2024).
This talk is for everyone aged 13 to 130 and entry is £5. the event begins at 6pm on Thursday 4th April and will last for approximately 1hr.
