Midday Workshop

Shakespeare.jpg 204: Shakespeare 

We will enjoy two very cool Shakespeare plays, mostly through observing them on film and partly through reading scenes aloud. Your best critical thinking will be captured in short written commentaries on the plays and compiled for a booklet, a copy of which you'll take with you at the end of the week.

About Me: My brushes with fame include mention in *Time Magazine* (viewable online) as one of the initial academics signing the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt concerning the Shakespeare authorship question, and The Discovery Channel interviewing me about mummies in popular culture (also online). I've published articles on Shakespeare, Chaucer, dinosaur films, girls' toys, and meat ads for kids. I once worked for a county in their Mosquito Control division, trudging through swamps all summer. I collect and play piano sheet music: pop songs from the 1920s and '30s. And one of my five pets is named Enobarbus. Another is Cleopatra; and another is Spike.
