Scholars and Experts Week

This week brings experts from fields beyond theatre to explore themes present in this year’s season.

How Language is Made

The 2026 season abounds with linguistic innovation, with Shakespeare and Wilde coining words and witticisms, Tolkien creating fantasy worlds with constructed languages, Singaporean English featured in The Tao of the World and translation politics explored in The King James Bible Play. Join our panel of linguists and experts on an archeological dig in the Tower of Babel to discuss how language is created.
