AboutRandy Sus Expertise I`m a retired high school English teacher from central Wisconsin. I taught Shakespeare for years and am very familiar with his writing style, his themes, his sonnets, and most of his plays. I taught Julius Caesar, King Lear, Richard the Third, and A Midsummer Night`s Dream for years. I`ve memorized many of the lines from these plays and I know many sonnets by heart. I`d be glad to respond to questions regarding Shakespeare`s life, works, and times if anyone desired such information.
Experience I have a master's degree in education and I take most pride in having ENJOYED teaching for over 30 years. Not everyone can honestly say that.
I coached undefeated high school soccer teams for fun too. I like public relations work and have served on P.R. committees for most of my professional life. I continue to do so in retirement.
Question Do you know if there are any radio reports, lectures or discussions online (that I can LISTEN to) about how Shakespeare's plays have been modernised or how the themes of his plays relate to us today.
Answer Hi again, Maegen,
NO, I am not aware of any online sites that offer spoken versions of Shakespeare's works or even discussions of the value of his works today. Hundreds of sites deal with Shakespeare, but they do not do so orally. Television programs have been produced to accomplish this, but I am unfamiliar with them or their sources.
Movies of his works illustrate how timeless his themes are. Several modernized remakes of his plays on film show how audiences can interpret his characters, themes, and plots differently.
