Why do Shakespeare’s plays remain relevant centuries after they were written? This class aims to reveal what has fascinated and inspired artists for centuries, and the timeless paradoxes inherent in these classics that lie at the core of the human condition. This course will focus on how Richard III, The Merchant of Venice, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest speak to our current moment of remaking our world as we (hopefully) emerge from a pandemic and an unfathomably tumultuous 2020. These works will be explored from the perspective of an actor and director
