Shakespeare & Yiddish Online Class
|
|
|
Why did Shakespeare’s plays become such a significant part of Yiddish theater? Join Yiddish scholar Ilan Stavans for this four session course, which will concentrate on the Sonnets, King Lear, The Merchant of Venice, and Romeo and Juliet. We will investigate the intimate relationship between Shakespeare and Yiddish language and cultural production, and explore the infinite variations on Shakespearean themes that the creative minds of the Yiddish stage wrote, produced, and performed.
