The assignments focus on developing an appreciation for the relationship between interpretation and performance with respect to each of the readings. The course not only guides the student through a general overview of Shakespeare's work with respect to the texts and their historical context, but addresses contemporary contexts in which his plays can be viewed, and seeks to enlarge the student's imagination with respect to the visionary possibilities of Shakespeare's work.
