Drama/English Literature: Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure: The World through Stage Design With Dr Kirstin Smith From University of East Anglia

17th November 2021 @ 11:15 - 12:15

 

 

This session focuses on the world of Measure for Measure and how it has been expressed through stage design. 

You’ll read and analyse short sections of the play to learn more about its themes. You’ll then compare past production designs and do a creative design task, setting one of the scenes in a space.

You’ll gain an insight into how staging shapes the meaning of a play, as well as a new angle on textual analysis.

This workshop is designed for A-Level students to undertake as part of a classroom exercise or as individuals.
