This subject is a hands-on introduction to William Shakespeare and his dynamic role
in our cultures and societies - from the sixteenth century to today. It will explore
how Shakespeare has shaped us and how we continue to 'remake' Shakespeare through
learning, performance, and adaptations. Students will learn how to engage with and
critically analyse Shakespeare's sonnets and plays, as well as theatrical productions,
films, and creative adaptations. The subject delves into Shakespeare's early modern
historical and theatrical context as well as his relevance across changing societies
and cultures. Students will have the opportunity to complete creative assessment to
build digital literacy skills, including blogs/vlogs, podcasts, and creative responses
to theatre/film. This subject encourages students to explore the role of Shakespeare
in our culture, and the role of our cultures and societies in remaking Shakespeare.
