About Shakespeare and Theatre, Postgraduate Diploma - at University of Birmingham
This innovative Shakespeare Institute programme allows you to study the performance history but also the way in which Shakespeare's plays have been performed through history, up to the modern moment. It encourages a historical approach to interpretation and styles of presentation and it promotes the value of close reading as the basis for evaluating the plays on the page, stage, and screen. You will have the opportunity to look at different productions and adaptations of Shakespeare's plays in their historical, political, and cultural contexts and to think about the performance choices actors and directors make when approaching Shakespeare's texts. You can also study how the textual history of Shakespeare's plays influences performance today.
