Queen’s Men Editions is the result of a continuing effort by teams of scholars, programmers, administrators, and student research assistants.

Our personnel

Our editorial and advisory boards are composed of distinguished scholars, theater professionals, and technical advisors, all of whom contribute their expertise as volunteers.

Each play in the Queen’s Men repertory is being edited by one or more scholars, working in universities around the world.

Our student programmers and assistants form a dedicated team of hard workers, bringing fresh ideas and hard work to their designated tasks.

Graphic design is provided by QME consultant, Peter Sirisko.
