Advanced Shakespeare 23 Friday April 17 2020 -- dramatic perspectives

We continue close reading of Act III, but then the last half hour, in response to a series of questions, is about how to interpret drama: what freedom and what constraints are there on how actors interpret? How should we interpret? Taking Dworkin's dictum that we should interpret in a way that makes the work the best possible work it can be, how does that apply to Shakespeare? What is the meaning of canonicity? Something like: a work that is open to lots of possibility for great interpretation. I thought that last half hour or so was interesting.
