Keith Gregor teaches English and Irish literature, particularly drama, at the University of Murcia, and has lectured on both in places as far-flung and diverse as Finland and South Africa. His course on representations of English and Irish drama in Spain, to be co-taught with David George from the University of Swansea, is part of the Murcia doctoral programme “Estudios angloamericanos: textos y contextos,” recently granted a “Mención de Calidad” by the Ministry of Education. Since 1999, he has been a member of the National I+D Research Project “The reception of Shakespeare in Spain in the Framework of European Culture” with a special interest in Shakespeare’s presence on the Spanish stage. His publications in the field have examined different aspects of Bardic presence, such as Shakespeare as character, “shakespearemanía,” the adaptation of comedies and histories and, more recently, Spanish neoclassical rewritings of Hamlet, and he is currently working on a book-length study of Shakespearean performances in Spain. He is a contributor to the Oxford Encylopedia of Theatre and Performance.
