Shakespeare's Women
Some of the most fascinating women in all of literature live in the plays of William Shakespeare. Most of them are strong, some of them are foolish, and many are merely pawns of fate. In Denmark, ancient Egypt, Scotland, Britain, and Padua and Venice in Italy we will meet these women and get to know their strengths and their weaknesses. We will meet the men they loved and who loved them – and those who misunderstood them, abused them, and were willing to die for them. They are all timeless and unforgettable!
