My hope is that every Shakespearean that takes this class will leave more comfortable with Shakespeare’s language, with better cold reading skills, and with a desire to experience more of Shakespeare’s work. 

I have extensive experience performing and directing Shakespeare plays. I have directed productions with mixed groups of middle school and high school students ages 12 and up and it is always great fun. I think that theatrical readings are a great way for students to explore a variety of roles in a pressure-free environment.

提供的成績

We will be reading from the Folger Shakespeare Digital text. This text is available online at https://shakespeare.folger.edu/.  I may reference Emma Smith's book "This is Shakespeare" or her podcast Approaching Shakespeare. If time allows we may watch clips from professional productions of Twelfth Night from the Royal Shakespeare Company, National Theatre, and/or The Globe.
