SUMMARY:How to read a Shakespeare play
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/212698
DESCRIPTION:Why do Shakespeare's characters use such difficult language? Wouldn't it be better if they expressed their feelings by laughing, crying or running around with their hands in the air?\n
 In this workshop, we'll look at extracts from a Shakespeare play currently set for GCSE (likely to include Macbeth, but please contact us in advance to request another play that we might also discuss at cal.outreach@contacts.bham.ac.uk).\n
 We'll see how characters think by using creative language and literary devices. This close reading will allow us to see how Shakespeare creates characters, and where tricky speeches belong within the tragedy as a whole.\n
