Back by popular demand, the Aspen Institute presents the Sharing Shakespeare Series, led and curated by Tom Buesch, PhD.  Exploring another round of William Shakespeare’s plays, volunteer moderators will lead participants through lively discussions dissecting the intriguing themes and characters in Shakespeare that still resonate today. Participants will read one play per month and share their insights and questions to reach a fuller understanding of the Bard’s works.

 

Location: Aspen Institute, Aspen Meadows Campus with a few sessions taking place in Basalt, Colorado

Fee: $275, includes all sessions, light refreshments, and reading materials. Scholarships available.
