The Friends of the McGill Libraries and the Stratford Festival are delighted to partner once again to present the 2026 annual Shakespeare Lecture with renowned actress Lucy Peacock; Laurette Dubé, Scientific Director of the McGill Centre for the Convergence of Health and Economics; Maiya Geddes, an FRSQ neurologist scientist and an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University; and Paul Yachnin, Tomlinson Professor of Shakespeare Studies at McGill.

In the face of social, environmental, and political upheaval, the speakers will bring Shakespeare’s Macbeth forward as a lens through which to explore the convergence of art, science, technology, and human experience.
