The Best of Broadway: Back to the Bard - William Shakespeare (On Campus and Zoom)
October 30, 2024 –
ICL Room 613 and on Zoom
We have been laughing at William Shakespeare’s comedies for more than 400 years! Why? This class will explore the reasons using Kenneth Branagh’s interpretation of Much Ado About Nothing. The play is a delightful look at men, women, love, and marriage (and the star-studded movie cast is spectacular!). We will discuss themes, characters, characteristics of Shakespearean comedy, Shakespeare’s audience as well as major comic actors of his day. No acting experience necessary just a great sense of humor! **A copy of No Fear Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing will be provided electronically to class participants.
