Course Description

ETS320 : Interpreting Shakespeare

Description:

This course investigates the living cultural presence of Shakespeare and Shakespearean adaptations as his work continues to be performed today, not just the plays themselves but, where possible, music and dance pieces inspired by the plays. It also understands Shakespeare as a unique figure of cultural authority. The aim is to assemble an accurate picture of what Shakespeare's work can mean in the public sphere, here and now, and of how such meanings are produced. Includes visits to the Globe Theatre in London, in addition to attendance at current productions across the greater London area. A course fee of $300 (2009-10) will be billed from Syracuse. Not open to drama majors. (Authors)
