The Dysfunctional Family – Shakespeare and Familial Relations

Loading Map....

Thursday, Sept. 10 | 6-8 p.m.
Gaddy-Goodwin Theatre, Raleigh Little Theatre

Troubled families drive the plots of all of Shakespeare’s plays, no matter the genre.  We can find overbearing fathers, deadly rivalries among siblings, and mysteriously absent mothers in his histories, tragedies, comedies, and romances.  But we can also trace narratives of reparation when we move from one genre to another. Join us for an evening of Shakespeare with Professor Mary Floyd Wilson at the historical Raleigh Little Theatre.  By reading several plays side-by-side, this lecture will consider how Shakespeare revises stories of tragic dysfunction with comic fantasies of restoration and forgiveness.
