Shakespeare Alive!
Imagine living in a time when the maps had not yet been drawn, before grammar had been set or the dictionary written. It was a time of expansiveness, exploration, joy in words and ideas. This was the time when Shakespeare wrote and this is the feeling that students all too often miss.
“The Bard” wasn’t some stuffy, upper-crust poet. He was the people’s playwright, and his language spoke to them in a way young people today can hardly believe. That is, until now. This performance/lecture blends fascinating facts and tantalizing anecdotes to paint a highly entertaining and informative view of the Elizabethan world and mindset.
