Please note, there is ample free parking at the Botanic Garden. Romeo and Juliet has been a favourite of theatre-goers and readers from the first. It is justly famous for its lyric poetry and its depiction of the intense ardour of romantic love. Comedy (wittily inventive or downright bawdy), the flashing blades of the duellists and the folly and the hard-won wisdom of both old and young are interwoven with the aspirations and pathos of the ‘star-crossed lovers’. It is a dazzlingly witty play, presenting a virtuoso display of wordplay, rhetoric and poetic imagery through which the play’s unique mixture of comedy and tragedy is achieved. We will focus in close detail on particular scenes and passages to engage with the wit, the language, imagery and characterization. Discussion of how the play works on stage will be helped by looking at extracts from filmed versions of the play and at slides of stage productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Participants are asked to have read the play in advance and to bring a copy of the play with them. The day will run from 10am to 3.30pm, with breaks for refreshments and a lunch break. Tutor: Rebecca Brown Before moving to Scotland, Rebecca worked for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, in Stratford upon Avon, where she organized and taught courses on Shakespeare and the literature of his time to a wide range of students, young and old, including many from British and international universities. She often worked in collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the University of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Institute. In recent years, Rebecca has taught courses for the Continuing Education programmes of the universities of Dundee and St Andrews.
