Events
We host a programme of regular research seminars, which cover a
wide range of literary subjects, from medieval to modern, and our
Annual English Lecture, featuring scholars eminent in their own
field. In addition, there are regular performances and readings of
work by our resident writers/lecturers and others, at the faculty's
Arts Cafe and other venues, sponsored by the Larkin Centre.
John Godber's plays (among others) are regularly performed at
the Hull Truck Theatre, and Alan Ayckbourn's at the Stephen Joseph
Theatre in Scarborough. The Humber Mouth literary festival is an
annual event, and regular recital events take place thoughout the
year at various venues in the city. Hull also has an
independent film theatre, Hull Screen, housed at the Reel Cinema in
the St Stephen's Centre, which hosts annual 'shorts' and Spanish
film festivals in addition to its regular programme.
