A Fun, Modern Look at Shakespeare

Join the fun as veteran stage actor Joseph Coté leads a lively discussion of some tragic, comic, and historic favorites—Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and King Henry IV, Part 1—whose characters could well be people living today, even next door. Perhaps Juliet is a ninth grader, Romeo on the hockey team, Puck a school play ham, by day Falstaff eats while shopping at Hannaford’s, by night he’s a Cuzzy’s regular, and who isn’t familiar with a certain renegade Prince Hal? Plays and study materials will be supplied well in advance. Come prepared to cover three plays over six sessions with the opportunity for jovial table reads.
