Biography
Roberta’s research interests centre upon the relationship between performance, especially theatrical performance in the realist tradition, and the social construction of identity. Her work has explored such topics as the representation of gender and class in early modern tragedy, the early modern careers and modern afterlives of Shakespeare’s boy actresses, and (most recently) the role played by the performance of illness on the nineteenth-century stage in the evolution of realist style. She is Theatre Reviews editor for the journal Shakespeare Bulletin and Assistant Editor (Music History) on the New Variorum edition of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Her credits as a director include Luisa Miller, The Rake’s Progress, and Orfeo ed Euridice for Opera Nova Scotia; Henry IV, Part One for the Windsor Theatre, Mount Allison University; and The Mill on the Floss, The Witch of Edmonton, Fuente Ovejuna, and Troilus and Cressida for Dal Theatre.
