Join us for a 6-week course exploring the Bard's impact on the world of cinema.

William Shakespeare’s plays have continue to be staged for over 400 years, but he has also dominated the cinema, a medium far beyond what was dreamt of in his philosophy! In this 6 week course, we examine how it is we find new things to say about his plays, the ways he invented many of the tropes of film storytelling, and how the mystery of his life continues to fascinate.

Course Breakdown:

Week One: Henry VI - Aston Villa - Nil

Week Two: A History, A Comedy and a Tragedy Walk Into a Bar

Week Three: The Labour Lost in Taming Two Gentleman

Week Four: Romeo, Richard and Juliet Have A Dream

Week Five: John and Henry Go To Venice

Week Six: Much Ado About Henry and Julius
