What an end to our wonderful conference. We had director @lovedayIngram along with actors @alexgRSC and Samuel Collings come to discuss @TheRSC 2016 The Rover by Aphra Behn with readings of some epic scenes.

Beautiful wreath laying ceremony for Aphra Behn today at @wabbey. What a fantastic way to end #AphraConference! 💐🌸🌻

Another day of wonderful papers at the #AphraConference and I got talk about beauty, morality and disease on this incredible panel with Ceri Fowler and Hannah Straw!

The main business of the conference closes with a plenary by Loveday Ingram, Director of @TheRSC’s 2016 production of Behn’s The Rover, accompanied by compelling performances of Angellica Bianca and Willmore’s exchanges 🗡️🔫 #AphraConference (Westminster Abbey tomorrow!)

Charlotte Cornell’s plenary on Behn’s Kentish Beginnings begins! #fullhouse #AphraConference

Excellent panel yesterday on beauty and VD with @KatieAske, Hannah Straw, and @English_Keele’s Ceri Fowler 💄🍆 #AphraConference
