Shakespeare divides people. Many think he is boring and incomprehensible, others think he is exciting and incomparable. Whatever category you fall into (and
there are others!) this you will come away with ideas and information which will enrich your sense of Shakespeare and help to make him very enjoyable.
We will look at such questions as:
How did Shakespeare’s playhouse affect the plays written for it and the way the players acted?
What did Shakespeare’s English sound like?
Where did he find his plots?
What do we know about his life?
When and why did Shakespeare become our national poet?
Who down the years have been the great Shakespeare actors and how did they present his characters?
….and much more!
No previous knowledge is needed.
