Kevin QuarmbyDr Kevin Quarmby is an academic, writer and actor who first appeared onstage in the early 1970s. After several years with companies as diverse the National Theatre, the Old Vic and Lindsay Kemp, he entered academe, completing his PhD in Shakespeare at King’s College London where he also taught English Renaissance Literature.
Having participated in Shakespeare conferences as far apart as Chicago and Kolkata, and published both academically and commercially in the US and UK, Quarmby is completing his first book for Ashgate – The Disguised Ruler in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries – due 2011.
Now a regular lecturer at Shakespeare’s Globe, London, as well as presenting undergraduate courses on Shakespeare and Contemporary British Theatre for several London-based American universities, Quarmby brings his academic knowledge and practitioner’s eye to theatre reviewing.
As an ‘insider’, he recognizes the problems faced by actors, directors and designers, as well as the need to communicate the ‘essence’ of a production for those unable to see, or thinking of seeing, that most ephemeral of artistic experiences, a play.
