This course introduces students to the plays of Shakespeare through a representative selection of his plays and their adaptations across media and cultures. Students will study the plays as poetic drama, with special attention to how they have been - and might be - performed on stage and screen. Students will also have opportunities to perform scenes from Shakespeare's plays and create their own video adaptation of a selected scene.

 The level of AI adoption in the assignments where it is allowed is restricted as outlined in the assessment guidelines to the course.
