Shakespeare’s Roman Plays (Previously Recorded Mini-Class)

Description

Shakespeare’s three great Roman tragedies remain definitive representations of political power, tyranny, anarchy, unrestrained passion, and the corruptibility of men. Join classicist Thomas Banks this October for his three-session short class on Shakespeare’s Romans; enjoy the supreme excellence of Shakespeare’s dramatic verse; discover the historical basis of the three plays in the writings of Plutarch; and enter into the world of Coriolanus, Caesar, Brutus, Antony and Cleopatra. 

“What’s brave, what’s noble,

Let’s do it after the high Roman fashion,

And make Death proud to take us.”
