Book banning has waxed and waned through the centuries. Today seems to be a time when there is a greater effort to censor and limit what can be published and/or allowed to exist in schools, homes and libraries. Join me as we examine the history, ramifications and efforts on both sides of the issue. I will also allow more time for discussion, so though I am offering hybrid, please come in person if at all possible.

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.
