Shakespeare for Beginners

July 19, 2012

Are you a Shakespeare newbie? Does 17th Century English seem like a foreign language? What exactly does "iambic pentameter" actually mean?

Shakespeare does not have to be a daunting subject. Do not be intimidated! Shakespeare can be enjoyed on many levels. Guaranteed; everyone can enjoy something about the Bard.

Join us on Wednesday, July 25, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. for To Sleep Perchance to Dream. This special introduction to his stories and plays, including Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Much Ado About Nothing, will be presented by storyteller Joyce Slater. Participants will have the opportunity to interpret Shakespeare’s stories in costume or with puppets.

For any of you budding scholars who are interested, try these websites to help you further decode the Bard.
