Four hundred years since his death and William Shakespeare remains the most performed and significant playwright in the world. But how have his plays translated to the silver screen and the digital age? Have directors unlocked new meanings and audiences for the Bard? Or should the plays be left where they started, in theatres? On this short course, students will explore a few screen adaptations of Shakespeare's most famous works, including modern re-tellings and translations such as Kurosawa's 'Ran'; and teen comedy '10 Things I Hate About You'. Perfect for anyone studying Shakespeare at GCSE and A-Level, or anyone with a keen interest in adaptation and theatre.
