Shakespeare really is like learning a foreign language, but when you spend a little time with it, you really start understanding things within the content of the dialogue. Come dally in an hour and a half workshop, diving into the surface of Taming of the Shrew and King Lear. You will learn a bit about the Bard of Avon, and a bit about saying Shakespeare like it should be said. Not only will you learn, but you will most likely laugh at the comedy of the Shrew, and cry at the tragedy of the King. This class meets once.
