Shakespeare is fun and really funny but first you have to get past the slang, the royals and other bits that might trip up a modern reader. Chesapeake Forum’s “Friending Shakespeare,” a 3-session course starting May 11th from 10-11:30 am, is full of hints on how to enjoy and understand his plays.
We’re all told he’s a genius; instructor Suzanne Sanders shows how outrageous and entertaining he is, too. She explains the clothes, slang, the royalty, and in the process reveals that anyone can make friends with Shakespeare. All it takes are a few encouraging pointers to find the approach that works best for you.
Suzanne Sanders earned a B.A. in Humanities from Johns Hopkins because, hey, somebody has to balance out all those pre-med students. She has worked as a journalist, bartender, metaphysical manager, poet, full-tilt mom, and Russian translator. She has taught the occasional class at Chesapeake College and volunteers at the library.
