A. Banerjee, W. J. Kennedy.

From Goethe to Aimé Césaire, Orson Welles to Akira Kurosawa, Agha Hashar Kashmiri to Ariane Mnouchkine, writers, artists, actors, and directors around the world have drawn from Shakespeare’s works in order to fashion their own. We will take a global journey from the Renaissance to the present day to discover both Shakespeare’s creations and those he inspired. This course may feature guest speakers, performances, and/or screenings, and specific works may vary from year to year.
