Tales from Shakespeare Since 2001 I have worked as an outreach artist for Shakespeare on the Sound, based in Rowayton, CT. Hearing Shakespeare's plots as stories, younger audiences form strong connections to the characters and are then motivated to explore the language of the plays with confidence and delight. School visits introducing Shakespeare take the form of a conversation with students, with the plots of several plays retold in succession.  Alternatively, a single play may be discussed in detail.  We explore the poetry and power of Shakespeare's language, rhythm, description, and metaphor.

Discussions of Shakespeare draw from the following plays.  Alternatively, a program may feature an exploration of one play in depth. Hamlet Romeo & Juliet The Winter's Tale Henry V The Comedy of Errors As You Like It The Tempest Julius Ceasar A Midsummer Nights Dream Cymbeline Macbeth The Merchant of Venice
