Murray Biggs is most interested in the interplay of text and performance. With degrees in English and Politics from South Africa and Britain, he has taught 20 different courses since joining the Yale faculty in 1986: courses in acting (especially Shakespeare), directing, and dramatic literature (especially English Renaissance, modern and contemporary British, Irish, United States, and Commonwealth drama), and British, Irish, and Shakespeare film. He also directs student productions. Performance is the subject of most of his published work.
