I have been studying the works of William Shakespeare since the 1970's, and incorporating those works into my classes since I began teaching in 1998. Over the years, I have experienced some memorable performances, such as Derek Jacobi as King Lear in the Theatre Royal Glasgow in 2011, andThe Winter's Tale performed by the Théâtre de Complicité, directed by Annabel Arden, and staged in theSydney Opera House in 1992.
