Two peas or not Two peas, that is the question… Or is it?

Luke McDonagh, scholar of Intellectual Property Law at the London School of Economics, joins Lee and Gwilym to talk about his new book on theatre and copyright, beginning in Elizabethan London and taking us through to present day litigation. Luke talks about how copyright of theatrical work emerged, the intersection of law and theatre and how theatre changed it’s response to copyright law over the centuries.

Luke’s book, Performing Copyright; Law, Theatre and Authorship is available now.
