Part of: Christmas at Storyhouse
Since the first publication of Theodor Seuss Geisel’s story How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1957) there have been numerous adaptations, including those for television, film and theatre. Looking back at some of these, this lecture considers our cultural fascination with the act of adaptation, and its potential for bridging the gap between the past and the present.
Presented by Dr Stef Kerrigan.
Christmas Lectures is a collaboration between Storyhouse and the University of Chester, providing an open platform for debate on a range of topics and fascinating subjects.
Our Lectures are videoed and archived for future viewing, by attending you give permission for us to do so – thanks!
