Dr. Nick Bampos. Dr. Bampos was unanimously elected to the esteemed position of Senior Tutor of Trinity Hall, Cambridge University, in October 2003. Born in Greece and educated in Australia, he completed both a BSc and a PhD at the University of Sydney before coming to Cambridge to study as a postdoctoral researcher over ten years ago. His talents were spotted quickly and he was elected a Fellow of Trinity Hall in 1999, though much of his time is devoted to research at the Department of Chemistry, where he studies molecular chemistry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and teaches organic and inorganic chemistry to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Nick Hutchison. An actor, director, and lecturer, Mr. Hutchison has played lead roles in Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Much Ado About Nothing. A graduate of Oxford, he has worked professionally with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal National Theatre, and the Globe Theatre. His screen credits include The Bounty, Restoration, and most recently About a Boy. Mr. Hutchison also lectures for the Globe Theatre’s education program. With his interactive and entertaining workshop, he provides our students with a framework to understanding the cultural, historical, and political contexts that shaped Shakespeare’s plays.

Professor John Morrill. Professor Morrill is Professor of British and Irish History at Cambridge University and Deputy Director of the University’s Centre for Historical Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities. As a world authority on Oliver Cromwell, the 17thcentury regicide, he is published widely in both popular history of the period and in ground-breaking research into the English Civil War and its combatants’ religious psychology. His talk on Oliver Cromwell, one of Cambridge University’s most notorious alumni, is flushed with historical precision and entertaining insight, and our historians are able to visit Cromwell’s former house in Ely, just outside of Cambridge.
