Description: SHAKESPEARE AND FILM ***** DISTRIBUTION COURSE GROUP 1 ***** In this course will examine both the text of selected Shakespearean plays and films made from them, focusing on the difference between film and drama. What happens to a Shakespearean play when it is converted to film? How must it be changed in order to work successfully in this medium? Plays studied in this class change some from year to year, but they are likely to be drawn from the following list: Richard III, Twelfth Night, Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Macbeth, and Hamlet. ***** Enrollment limited to 40. ***** INSTRUCTOR: Huston, Dennis
