SHAKESPEARE

Synopsis

The twenty-fifth 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 Dr. Carla Della Gatta (Florida State University) who discusses the play’s shifting point of view, issues of law and justice and uncertainty over roles and identities.
