“Working w/ Shakespeare: The Winter’s Tale” Conference

In celebration of Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, Working w/ Shakespeare fosters a dialogue between three professions that are especially dedicated to understanding his work: literary critics, theater designers, and professional actors. What makes literary criticism, design, and performance different as forms of interpretation? How might their distinctive practical techniques and theoretical concerns enrich and transform each other? These questions are the framework for the conference’s three workshops, each of which will focus on The Winter’s Tale.
