This will be a participatory class, which will include: literary analysis, lively discussions, and oral interpretation.  We shall read three of his most famous plays. We shall take parts and read significant scenes, discuss their intricacies and themes such as innate isolation, loneliness, and longing that appear again and again.  In seeking to find connections, his characters often find themselves in dysfunction with the world and people around them.  While set in the South, they are universal, poetic, powerful, and the work of the American Shakespeare.
