The use of Shakespeare's plays as celluloid "script" dates from the earliest stages of cinema history. One could propose that the cinema has been a major force in the way the 20th century has "Reinvented Shakespeare." This course proposes to review the history of the treatment and adaptation of selected Shakespeare plays on film. We will read a select body of plays which have received multiple treatments, either in film and/or video formats, during different cultural epochs.
