Instructor: Jeff Nelson

This class offers a study of Shakespeare’s Hamlet via some film versions/adaptations. How do actors and director envision Shakespeare in the 20th and 21st centuries? What do they find relevant? How do they communicate what they find valuable? How do they translate a 400-year old play into a contemporary idiom? We will view and discuss a handful of traditional interpretations, modern versions, and recent “updates.”
