Description

Class Experience

Students will gain a strong understanding of the play and develop confidence in writing about it using academic language.
I have three university degrees in literature - that's why I get to call myself 'Doctor' Radice. I've also taught literature for more than thirteen years in schools.
Students should read (in the provided textbook) and listen to the scenes that will be discussed in detail in the following class. I recommend the classic BBC Radio production, as this is the most faithful adaptation I can find. Please be aware that many adaptations are not faithful to the original text and can cause confusion. You can find the BBC Radio adaptation on Audible here:

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
There are violent scenes in this play, as there are in all of Shakespeare's tragedies, but there is no gore or grisly detail.
