The Obermann Center for Advanced Studies sponsored a talkback after the performance of the Mar. 4 performance of Lady Macbeth and Her Pal, Megan at Riverside Theatre in Iowa City.

Deborah Whaley, UI Professor of American Studies and African American Studies, and Miriam Gilbert, UI Professor of English (Emerita), were joined in conversation by Megan Gogerty, UI Theatre Arts lecturer, who wrote and starred in the play. The three discussed the use of Shakespeare in the play and being a woman in a male-dominated field. This event was the third in a series of Obermann-sponsored talkbacks during Riverside Theatre’s 2016-17 season.
