Shakespeare and the Sea–Chaos, Identity, and Transformation
For Shakespeare, the sea was not merely a backdrop, but a powerful metaphor for identity. On Monday, July 20th at 7:00 pm, join us at the Ridgefield Library and discover how the ocean shaped the imagination of William Shakespeare, and—through dramatic monologues—how the maritime themes of storms, shipwrecks, sea creatures and oceanic transformation run through his plays. Please register.
