PMA 4190 - American Shakespeare

(crosslisted)
(also AMST 4194 )(HB) (LA-AS)
Fall, spring. 4 credits. Letter grades only.

Offered in Washington, D.C.

J. O’Connor.

What is distinctive about American Shakespeare? Is it merely a less confident cousin of its more prestigious UK relative; or does it have a character of its own? What is currently happening with ‘American Shakespeare’ that is not happening anywhere else? This course is designed explicitly to exploit the wide variety of human and material resources of the DC and surrounding area, such as the Folger Shakespeare Library and Theatre, the Shakespeare Theatre and the Blackfriars Playhouse at Staunton. While encountering a number of plays, students will have the opportunity to see at least three live performances and numerous movies, consider the history of Shakespeare in America and learn from actors, directors, scholars and designers.
