CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
43491	Discussion/ Recitation	AD1	11:00AM -11:50AM	F	113 English Building	Fadely, J	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Degree Notes: Literature and the Arts course. Section Info: This introductory-level survey covers at least six of Shakespeare?s plays alongside notable film versions or, indeed, wholesale reinventions of those plays. We?ll likely cover The Taming of the Shrew; Romeo and Juliet; The Merchant of Venice; Macbeth; Othello; and The Tempest. Films include Franco Zeffirelli?s The Taming of the Shrew (1976); Baz Luhrman?s Romeo + Juliet (1996); Michael Radford?s The Merchant of Venice; Roman Polanski?s Macbeth (1971); Billy Morrissette?s Scotland, PA (2001); Oliver Parker?s Othello (1995); and Derek Jarman?s The Tempest (1979). Expect also to see a range of short clips from a variety of filmed live performances. In our weekly lectures, I will provide an overview of the play under consideration, concentrating especially on key moments that suggest multiple possibilities for performance. I assume neither expertise in Shakespeare nor in the vocabulary of film criticism; consider the course an entryway to both disciplines.
