Opis:

Despite all his fame, William Shakespeare’s personal life remains a mystery. There are only two primary sources of information about him: his works, and various legal and church documents that have survived from Elizabethan times. There are many gaps in this body of information, which tells us little about Shakespeare the man and leads to much dispute as to whether the man Shakespeare’s works are attributed to was the true author. All we know about William Shakespeare is that he was born in 1564 in Stratford-Upon-Avon, married at eighteen, had three children, and died in 1616 at the young age of 52. In that time he supposedly wrote thirty-seven plays and 154 sonnets. He was a successful actor with the Globe Theater in London, but his death went unnoticed. Odd, for such a popular playwright and poet. This has led some historians to the believe that “William Shakespeare” was really a pseudonym used by Edward DeVere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, about whose life we know much, much more…

This workshop explores how little we know about one of the greatest writers that ever lived. Participants will have a chance to examine the facts and reach their own conclusions about the identity of Shakespeare the man. But be warned! He had these words inscribed on his gravestone:

“Good friend, for Jesus’ sake, forbear,

To dig the dust enclosed here.

Blessed be the man that spares these stones,

And cursed be he that moves my bones.”

Prowadzenie:

John Cudak urodził się w Chicago, mieszka od wielu lat w Polsce. Serce oddał edukacji, szerzeniu tolerancji i sztuce. Pracował jako wykładowca w Kolegium Języka Angielskiego w Chełmie, oraz dyrektor stowarzyszenia Beit Warszawa. Od kilku lat prowadzi warsztaty o charakterze interkulturowym dla NaukiBezGranic. Zainteresowania pisarskie Johna odnalazły odzwierciedlenie w wystawionej w 2011 po raz pierwszy sztuce Joe’s Birthday. Walczy z brakiem tolerancji i otwiera ludziom oczy na różnorodność kulturową współczesnego świata. Trafne uwagi, życiowe morały, dystans do samego siebie i świetne poczucie humoru to jest to co młodzież ceni w nim najbardziej.
