EN 533 Shakespeare: Text and Performance

This course conducts an intensive study of several Shakespearean plays in both text and performance. Each play will be considered as representative of a specific genre (comedy, tragedy, history) and will be examined from both Renaissance/Early Modern and contemporary perspectives. In addition, there will be consideration for the staging and producing of plays through an experiential frame, examining the different methods for dramatic production, whether for stage, film, or television.
