This course will focus on William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream. We will explore its beauty, fantasy, and mythology, and the themes of imagination, creativity, love, and the elevation of self. While many think of this play as little more than a childish romp in a forest full of moonlight and fairies, there is much more to discover in this exquisite midsummer adventure. The last class will be devoted to a film version of the play. Come and be transported, as only some quality time with Shakespeare can provide! Students may use their own copies of the play.
