About Mary-Rose McLaren

Mary-Rose works at the intersection of theory, practice, and performance. Her PhD is in Medieval History (London chronicles) and her teaching qualification is in Drama. She connects these two disciplines in her research, focusing on the use of Drama in developing Literacy, the London sources of Shakespeare, and the role of creativity in education.

Mary-Rose undertakes research by creative output as a director of plays and as an actor and writer. She also undertakes traditional research with publications in international journals and chapters in books. She is also a published poet.

In her teaching, Mary-Rose brings together elements of performance and research to generate communities of learning within the classroom. She is currently writing a novel set in fifteenth-century London and is working on the representation of women in London chronicles.
