All materials will be approached in an educational and theatrical context.
The class will use Riverside and Oxford translations of Shakespeare’s texts, and students will receive a packet of selected monologues and scenes for reference. No additional third-party tools requiring accounts will be used.
If you have any concerns about the material, please feel free to reach out for further clarification.
