Class Notes
From the Instructor: In summer 2023, we will take a deep dive into Shakespeare's greatest, most engrossing tragedy, King Lear, which returns to Santa Cruz Shakespeare for the first time since 2006. We'll go to see that production together (free tickets will be provided by UCSC Shakespeare Workshop) and review other productions for the stage and screen as well. Our topics will include the nature and purpose of tragedy; the place that humanity occupies in the cosmos; the meaning of suffering; the way that Shakespeare understands the role of the theater in transmitting, upholding, and questioning conventional morality; and his perspective on authority and rebellion. No prior knowledge of Shakespeare's work is necessary. All are welcome.
