A major reason for the high quality of actors and actresses in the English-speaking theater—particularly in Great Britain—is that many of the best have been schooled in a tradition of performing Shakespeare that goes back many generations.  In fact, until recently, it was impossible for actors to be honored as ‘Sir” or “Dame” unless they had made their marks in one or more of the great roles.  The many Shakespeare roles Laurence Olivier mastered, for example, made him first “Sir” and then ‘Lord.”  This course will examine some of the major acting achievements in three major plays: Richard III, Hamlet and King Lear.  Class discussions of the plays and what they mean will include video excerpts in English, French, German, Italian and Russian from productions ranging from the 1890s to the beginning of the 21st century.  Actors represented will include: Oliver, Judi Dench, Ian McKellen, Nicol Williamson, John Gielgud, Derek Jacoby and many more.
