Shakespeare Masterclass
Come and discover Shakespeare with fresh eyes. Explore the historical and cultural context of his plays, and discover new themes and aspects of his writing, from food to love and emotions. Bring Shakespeare to life through performance. This day-long session is guaranteed to give your students new insight into, and enthusiasm form, the work of the bard. Sessions will include:
- Shakespeare: his life, times, and context
- reading Shakespeare at University (a session in close literary analysis exploring a theme such as food or love in one of his plays)
- performing Shakespeare (a facilitated session allowing students to consider the connection between performance and meaning in Shakespeare’s’ plays).
