SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

The twenty-fourth in a weekly live stream project by Rob Myles to present all of Shakespeare’s plays in the order in which it is thought they were originally written. Using the Zoom video conferencing platform, it brings together many actors currently unable to travel and perform due to the Coronavirus crisis. The performance is introduced by Professor Vanessa Corredera (Andrews University) who explores its links to Homer and Chaucer and how Cressida is represented as a woman.
