Exploring Catalan theatre
The project, Infidelitat, transvestisme, i escàndol nupcial a Mallorca (Infidelity, cross-dressing, and marital scandal in Mallorca) will explore how transgressive characters challenged the power structures of their day. It builds on Richard Huddleson’s own doctoral research carried out in the Centre for Catalan Studies at Queen Mary University of London.
