Sex, Power, and Love: Four Shakespeare Plays
A comedy, a "problem" play, a tragedy, and a play that represents the summit of Shakespeare's
accomplishment and thus defies easy classification (a dream play? a fairy tale? a "late" play?),
these four plays represent the variety and scope of Shakespeare's genius while exploring some
thorny and related problems of sex, power, and love. We'll be treated to a smorgasbord of
La Condition Humaine, the whole messy, magnificent spectacle of life: magic, passion, suicide,
murder, innocence, despair, treason, fidelity, enchantment, hope! All are welcome.
