Current Research
Australian Open-Air Shakespeare: A Spatial History
Rose is working on a project which traces the history of open-air Shakespeare productions in Australia from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day with a focus on changing cultural responses to Australian space. This study asks: how have local spatial and climatic conditions shaped Australian appropriations of Shakespeare, and how have responses to the Australian environment intersected with responses to the plays?
Henry IV Part One
Rose is a contributing editor for the Internet Shakespeare Editions: <http://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Foyer/index.html>. She has prepared Quarto, Folio and modern spelling versions of Henry IV Part One for the site and is currently working on a print edition of the play for Broadview Press.
