PMA 2682 - Shakespeare on Stage

Summer. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

B. Levitt.

This course explores the clues to production embedded in Shakespeare’s plays. The course explores questions of language, staging, setting, costumes and additional elements of physical productions found within the texts themselves. Through readings, papers, video excerpts, and in-class explorations of selected plays, students will arrive at a more thorough understanding of just how Shakespeare’s plays function in the theatre. No previous acting or theatre participation necessary.
