It was a time of radical change, a time of violence. England was under siege internally and externally. Being on the wrong side, politically or religiously, could result in torture and death.

Join us for a discussion of the TV show Will, described as “Shakespeare on sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Note: Class members will watch episodes on their own outside of class. The TV show is available to stream with a subscription or purchase on TNT, YouTube, Apple TV+, Amazon, and other streaming services.
