SUMMARY:Discussion: The Comedy of Errors
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s shortest play is also his most farcical comedy with multiple mistaken identities. Two sets of identical twins\, the masters both named Antipholus and the servants both named Dromio are separated at birth. One set grows up in Syracuse and comes to Ephesus to find the other\, and every possible combination of master and servant happens resulting in gleeful chaos. \n  \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nComedy starts with a serious ticking clock where Egeon will be killed if his ransom is not paid within a certain time. How does this set up the stakes for the farce that follows? This is a structural element Shakespeare will use for almost all his comedies.\nShakespeare tends to value suspense over surprise where the audience always knows more than the characters. Comedy throws some delightful surprises\, not least of which is the identity of the Abbess. How does Shakespeare structure the narrative to best utilize both surprise and suspense?\nShakespeare rarely obeys Aristotlean unities of space\, time and action except in Comedy and The Tempest. While the unities are defined for tragedy\, they are here used for a farce. How do the unities help inform the structure for the comedy?\n\n  \nFolger Text Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/the-comedy-of-errors/ \nCS Library also has paper copies of the play. \nKanopy Film link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/5332678 \n  \nOther resources to consider: \nThe Flying Karamazov Brothers 1983 version (on youtube) \nThe Boys from Syracuse\, musical version with music by Richard Rodgers \nBig Business 1988 movie with Bette Middler & Lily Tomlin

SUMMARY:Discussion: The Taming of the Shrew
DESCRIPTION:Suitors are lining up for the lovely Bianca\, but her father refuses to let her be wooed until her elder sister\, Katherina\, the titular shrew is wedded. The suitors draft the treasure hunter Petruchio to woo and wed Katherina\, after which he successfully ‘tames’ her and shows off the seemingly obedient Katherina at Bianca’s wedding. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nInduction: the process or action of bringing about or giving rise to something. Taming is presented as a play within a play. How does the Induction change the nature of the Taming of the Shrew? Does it explicitly make it a farce\, and if so\, does that help tone down the misogyny?\nSocietal Order: Every role in society has definite expectations. The play both defines gendered roles and the master and servant roles quite explicitly. There are only three women in the play\, with the Widow only appearing at the very end. A master and servant pair open both the scenes in Act I\, and there is a constant shuffling of ‘high’ and ‘low’ social positions\, both in the Induction scenes and the play within the play. How does Shakespeare structure the narrative so they comment on each other?\nKatherina’s speech: Katherina’s speech at the end is the longest and most complex speech of the play. Has Katherina been truly tamed and herself resigned to her fate? Or has she learnt how to play the game? What are the possible interpretations of this speech and the ending?\n\n  \nFolger Text Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/the-taming-of-the-shrew/ \nCS Library also has paper copies of the play. \n  \nKanopy Film link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/677393 (BBC series 1980) \n16th Century Staging https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/102823 (2005) \n  \nOther resources to consider: \n1967 Zeffirelli’s film “The Taming of the Shrew” with Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton \n1953 film version of the stage musical “Kiss Me Kate” \n1999 teenage version “Ten Things I Hate About You” with Julia Stiles & Heath Ledger \n2020 book “Shakespeare in a Divided America” by James Shapiro\, chapter titled “1948: Marriage”

SUMMARY:Discussion: The Two Gentlemen of Verona
DESCRIPTION:The titular two gentlemen start out as friends\, but inconstancy in love leads to strife. The play features the first instance of cross-dressing\, much used and abused in Shakespeare’s later comedies. The cast is small\, comic plots abound\, but the dog Crab steals the show along with its master Launce. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nFriendship and love are the dominant themes with women intruding on male brotherhood. The climactic scene is ambiguous in how the two intertwine\, especially the problematic line “All that was mine in Silvia I give thee”. What interpretations does this line and scene offer?\nOne of the dominant themes of Shakespearean comedies is the inconstancy of young men in love. How does that inform how this early play is viewed? What other Shakespearean themes and motifs can we see in this play?\nLanguage itself is a theme in this play with nobles and servants using verse and prose respectively. How does Shakespeare use language to delineate the differences between the two and puncture the pompousness of the nobles?\n\n  \nA short presentation on Shakespearean comedy will precede the discussion. \n  \nFolger Text Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/the-two-gentlemen-of-verona/ \nCS Library also has paper copies of the play. \n  \nKanopy Film link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/5332702

SUMMARY:Live Performance: Loras Players Spring Play: Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:The Loras Players\, the theatre production arm of Loras College’s School of Humanities & Education\, present Romeo & Juliet\, the classic tragedy by William Shakespeare\, adapted by Diane Timmerman\, Thursday–Saturday\, February 29–March 2 at 7:30 p.m. \nIn Verona\, rival houses of Capulet and Montague have a longstanding feud. The Bard’s famous tragedy of star-crossed lovers is filled with all the passion of young love. Wit and beauty dance with resentment and romance. The Loras Players stage a colorful\, anachronistic\, and fast-paced production\, providing youthful playfulness\, humor and action that careens to a tragic end. \nEstablished in 1910\, the Loras Players are the oldest\, continuously-operating theatre troupe west of the Mississippi! Currently in its 114th season\, students of all majors get hands-on\, practical experience in this multi-disciplinary extracurricular program. While exploring the intellectual pursuits of aesthetics\, narrative\, communication\, visual arts and performance\, students develop the skills necessary to captivate and inspire an audience on the frontier of storytelling and prepare to undertake an increasingly non-routine future with social intelligence\, complex critical thinking and creative problem solving. \nRomeo & Juliet runs Thursday–Saturday\, February 29–March 2 at 7:30 p.m. in St. Joseph Auditorium\, Hoffmann Hall on the Loras College campus. General admission is $10; Loras-affiliated admission is $5-10 suggested donation. \nEvent Link : https://loras.edu/event/romeo-and-juliet/

SUMMARY:Discussion: Titus Andronicus
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare’s first tragedy is a revenge drama between Roman General Titus and Goth Queen Tamora\, with their children caught in between. Quick shifts in political power and differences in ethics and morality between constituencies drive much of the action. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nCycles of Violence: Revenge cycles often involve disproportionate responses where the retribution exceeds the original wrongdoing. How does Shakespeare structure the revenge cycles and ameliorate audience disengagement?\nFragility of the Rule of Law: Revenge based societies can only happen when the rule of law is weak or ineffectual. Rule of Law can only happen when almost everyone in a society agrees on a common set of rules all have to abide by\, and a strong system to uphold it. How does the play depict the lack of a common set of rules and the system that enforces those rules? What aspects of American life are currently threatening the rule of law?\nFilled with ghastly on-stage violence\, the critical reception has often been cold to the extent some critics like T.S. Eliot even denied Shakespeare’s authorship. What are some of the tonal shifts in the play that make it difficult to stage and/or accept? Are there characters that stand out and can inform future Shakespearean plays?\n\n*A short presentation on Elizabethan theater will precede the discussion. \nFolger Text Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/titus-andronicus/read/ \nCarnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \n  \nOther resources to consider: \n“Titus” by Julie Taymor (film\, 1999) \n“A Thousand Times More Fair: What Shakespeare’s Plays Teach Us About Justice” by Kenji Yoshino (Chapter on Titus and revenge cycles)

SUMMARY:Discussion: Edward III
DESCRIPTION:Edward III is one of the most consequential kings of England\, establishing it as a military force and conquering France. The play starts with his campaign in Scotland\, and his attempted wooing of the Countess of Salisbury. The king learns valuable lessons in character and then attempts to conquer France in the second half of the play. His son\, the charismatic Black Prince\, plays a huge role in the battles. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nThe Countess of Salisbury scenes establish a unique voice which is reflected in many other Shakespeare scenes. What are some of the touches that make it Shakespearean?\nThe Black Prince is a charismatic figure who is referred to in other history plays\, most notably Richard II. How does the play portray the warrior king and the warrior prince\, both by themselves and in relation to each other?\nShakespeare’s contributions to the play have been established with modern statistical and stylistic analysis\, but there is reluctance to the play being accepted into the canon. Singular authorship\, non-inclusion in the First Folio are some of the barriers to acceptance. Does the play\, in part or in whole\, fit within the history play genre?\n\nA short presentation on Marlowe’s plays\, especially Edward II will precede the discussion. \nNOTE: There is no filmed version of Edward III. Folger does not have an entry for the play. \nOnline Text Links:\nhttps://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/Texts/Edw/\nhttps://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1770 \nCarnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \nOther resources to consider:\n“Edward II” by Christopher Marlowe\n“World Without End” by Ken Follett

SUMMARY:Discussion: Richard III
DESCRIPTION:Richard III is a singular charismatic monster; he both dominates the play and has seeped so far into the cultural consciousness as to surpass historical ‘truth’. Shakespeare ingeniously structures the play as an unrelenting ascent to power followed by an equally steep decline in fortunes; Richard invites the audience into his confidence during the ascent so we feel deliciously complicit in his schemes and then stare in horror as it all goes south. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nRichard III is extravagantly theatrical both in its structure and in how Richard is always playingthe consummate actor\, so much so he delights himself in how far he can push boundaries. Howdoes Richard’s theatricality and seeming transparency contribute to his charm with theaudience?\nThe last Plantagenet king will no doubt be portrayed negatively by historians (and theplaywright) working during Elizabeth’s reign; after all\, Elizabeth’s grandfather defeated RichardIII to take the crown. Richard III’s historical truth may be more complicated\, and may neverovercome Shakespeare’s vivid portrayal. Who gets to decide what is historically accurate?Further\, do we read history exclusively in terms of winner and loser\, and does it matter?\nThe women in Richard III are either dupes or scolds and mostly work in opposition to the titlecharacter. How do the women help define the title character and modulate the audienceresponse to the character? Consider both their presence throughout the play and theirsignificant absence at the end.\n\nFolger Shakespeare Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/richard-iii/\n*Carnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \nKanopy BBC production link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/851091 \nOther Resources to Consider: \n\nRichard III film adaptation starring Laurence Olivier (1955)- library holding and on Kanopy https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/113189\nRichard III film adaptation starring Ian McKellan (1995)\nLooking for Richard by Al Pacino (film\, 1996)\nThe Daughter of Time by Josephine Tay (novel\, 1952) – library holding\nShakespeare and Modern Culture by Marjorie Gerber (book\, 2008)\, Chapter 5 on Richard III\nThe Lost King (film\, 2022) about finding Richard III’s grave.\n\nCarnegie-Stout Public Library also has many other books on Richard III\, histories and historical fiction.

SUMMARY:Live Performance: Lucrece
DESCRIPTION:When one person is obsessed with another person\, how far will they go to possess their obsession? This dramatic adaptation of Shakespeare’s narrative poem examines this theme. \nLucrece\, an adaptation of The Rape of Lucrece\, tells the tale of a ruler’s son setting his sights on an underling’s wife and violating her. The drama is narrated by Brutus\, an important noble who worked on establishing the Republic of Rome. Almost the entire play is set inside Lucrece’s bedroom and her house. \nTrigger Warning: While Lucrece does not portray the rape itself\, it examines in sympathetic detail Lucrece’s state of mind after the rape.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Henry VI - Part 3
DESCRIPTION:The cost of the wars is keenly felt both by the nobles and the commoners as two “monsters” stand in opposition to each other: the misshapen Richard of York and the serpent-tongued Queen Margaret. Fortunes ebb and flow between the Yorkists and Lancastrians. The childlike and saintly King Henry VI tries to keep himself apart from the fray\, but horror intrudes into every aspect of life. \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nThe horrors of civil war are most vividly illustrated by the suffering of fathers and sons\, bothamong the nobles and the commoners. The killing of children is especially brutal. How doesShakespeare structure the deaths so their impact is additive and not numbing?\nThe civil war is intensified by two motives that become intertwined: revenge vs pursuit ofpower. How do the two motives feed off each other in the characters of Richard and Margaret?Do we have political characters in US today where these motives influence their careers\nKing Henry VI is ill-suited to the crown and is perhaps best suited to be a saint. How doesShakespeare build an almost a Christ-like character to contrast with the monsters? (The SimpleLife speech in Act II-5\, death scene in Act V-6\, also funeral in Richard III)\n\nFolger Shakespeare Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/henry-vi-part-3/\n*Carnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \nKanopy BBC production link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/5332692 \nNovels that provide a different perspective: \n\nGregory\, P.

SUMMARY:Discussion: Henry VI - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:England slips further into civil war and anarchy with a weak King Henry VI unable or unwilling to make decisions. Two larger than life figures\, Richard of York and Margaret of Anjou\, are introduced and they will continue to take over the series of plays. Then\, there is Jack Cade and his populist rebellion\, with the delicious quote “The first thing we do let’s kill all the lawyers!” \nDiscussion Topics: \n\nJack Cade’s rebellion is profoundly anti-intellectual\, with the infamous quote about lawyers imbued with several layers of horror. Populist rebellions often encourage mistrust of knowledge and the ‘elite’ who transact knowledge. How does Jack Cade function within the context of the play\, and what lessons can we learn from that for today’s U.S.?\nA just society requires steady interpretation of law and a strong authority willing to uphold justice. King Henry VI is too preoccupied with his books and unwilling to administer justice. Shakespeare illustrates the breakdown of law and order by juxtaposing the murder of Gloucester with a comedic trial by combat between two “low” characters. How does the structure of the play allow tension to be maintained?\n\nFolger Shakespeare Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/henry-vi-part-2/\n*Carnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \nKanopy BBC production link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/5332690

SUMMARY:Discussion: Henry VI - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:There is a power vacuum after the sudden death of powerful leader Henry V\, with a very young Henry VI and squabbling nobles. There is an external threat with Joan of Arc in France\, seen as a saint by the French and as a witch by the English. Shakespeare juxtaposes events in England and France to provide dramatic commentary and make causal connections. \nDiscussion Topics:\n• Joan la Pucelle (Joan of Arc) is definitely the most charismatic figure in the play\, though not always consistent. How does Shakespeare portray the different ways she is seen by different factions? How is her role contrasted with that of Talbot and Margaret? Further\, can we think of modern figures who are viewed in diametrically opposite ways by different groups and how that affects public discourse?\n• The play starts with the loss of the idealized king Henry V. How does Shakespeare portray the descent into political chaos and the loss of chivalry? The opening scene and the exchange between Talbot and his son in Act IV-5 may be illustrative. \nFolger Shakespeare Link: https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/henry-vi-part-1/\n*Carnegie-Stout Public Library also has paper copies of the play. \nKanopy BBC production link: https://www.kanopy.com/en/dubuque/video/5332688
