“Something
is rotten in the state of Denmark!” Shakespeare’s
chronically contemplative prince takes center stage in this exciting
exploration of the secrets, sins, and psychoses of the Danish
court. The series begins with Shakespeare’s Hamlet: Prince of
Denmark, where participants will unpack the thrills and
challenges of this riveting work, and also examine numerous stage and
film productions. With Hamlet as the foundation, the series
goes on to explore compelling derivations, including Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are Dead and John Updike’s Gertrude and
Claudius, as well as other notable works. All scripts and
materials are included with the registration fee.
