Okurr: On Playing with Shakespeare’s Language | Great Performances: Much Ado About Nothing

Using video from Great Performances: Much Ado About Nothing, students will examine the use of language in Shakespeare’s play through analysis of a contemporary production. This resource could be used as a stand-alone activity for students engaged in the study of Shakespeare as a way to gain comfort and clarity with the language of the bard, or as a supplement to the reading of Much Ado About Nothing. Featuring commentary by Professor Ayanna Thompson.
