Do you feel like brushing up your knowledge of the bard of Avon? Then come and join us. This six-month course is designed to help you experience Shakespeare with confidence, understanding and above all enjoyment. Each week, we will read key speeches and scenes from a play, after which you can enjoy the whole work. Recommendations will be given for online performances and further reading. Classes will be interactive, with an emphasis on reading aloud, discussion and study of the language. We’ll discuss the plays in the context of Shakespeare’s life and time. And we’ll also think about their relevance to our own lives and the world today. As well as a selection of the plays, we will also look at the poetry, in particular the sonnets. By the end of the course, you will have a good knowledge of about half of Shakespeare’s complete works, drawn from comedies, tragedies, histories and verse. And you’ll have the confidence to explore the other half, too!
