ENGL.Q 141 - Adapting Shakespeare

(PEQ English/Literature) With Shakespearean drama at its center, this course investigates why and how writers and filmmakers put old stories to new uses. We will carefully read one of Shakespeare’s plays alongside his own source texts, and examine how the play has been brought to life on stage over the centuries. Then we will study re-imaginings of the play in other forms, to learn how adapters repurpose Shakespeare to speak to modern concerns. Course Codes: BR.
