Come discuss Shakespeare! Once per month we look at a play by Shakespeare from the perspective that Shakespeare might have something to teach us (rather than the other way around) about politics and human nature. Open to interested Humber faculty, administrators, support staff, and students with a recommendation from a professor. You don’t need a background in English literature to attend.

Our next play is Macbeth and we meet Thursday, November 18 at 8 p.m. on Zoom. 

Macbeth is a play about a politically ambitious noble and saviour of his country who degenerates into a despised tyrant. He’s the natural ruler, but seizing power destroys him. Most of us studied it in high school, but what did we miss?

Coming plays: Merry Wives of Windsor on Thursday December 16 and Julius Caesar on Thursday, January 20.

Free text at www.opensourceshakespeare.org. Arden, Signet, and Oxford editions of Shakespeare are also good. For Macbeth, there’s a new edition by Jan H. Blits with useful notes.

Videos: Humber College Library has all of the BBC (early 1980’s) videos available which can be watched online.

RSVP: Kirk Rintoul, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Business at kirk.rintoul@humber.ca for the Zoom link.

Limited to 15 confirmed attendees (waitlist if necessary).
