Although Shakespeare may be thought of today as an ancient author with little if anything to say to 21st-century people, the adaptations of his plays produced in the past couple of decades seem to contradict this opinion. In this presentation, we'll take a look at a few examples to see how what Shakespeare has to say gets translated in a popular rom com, a heavy metal concept album, and a musical.
Recommended for secondary school students and adults.
While Shakespeare may be thought of today as an ancient author with little to say to 21st-century audiences, the adaptations of his works in the last few decades contradict this opinion. In this performance, we will examine a few examples to discover how Shakespeare's message appears in a popular rom com, a heavy metal concept album, and a musical.
We recommend the performance for both secondary school students and adults.
