ENG 361 - Reviving Shakespeare: From Text to Production

Through an exploration of Shakespeare’s dramatic works, students will examine his playscripts as blueprints for performance, understanding the ways a static text becomes dynamic theatre. Close reading and inquiry will inform performance-centered explorations of selected tragedies, comedies, a history and a romance for their thematic content, character development, use of language, and socio-historical contexts.
