Course programme
We shall read and discuss carefully edited extracts from each of the plays in turn, considering their poetry and theatricality, and reflecting on their significance to us today. At the heart of our study will be a growing appreciation of Shakespeare’s great skill in dramatising human folly and enabling us to reflect purposefully on its meaning.
Teacher explanation; group discussion. You will need to read and reflect on the plays scheduled for each class in advance.Additional information
