FIELD TRIP: The Grace of Grace: Shining a Light Through Shakespeare’s Broken Villains
2025-01-24 10:00 - 12:00 | Tennessee Shakespeare Company, 7950 Trinity Road, Cordova, 38018, United States
EVENT DETAILS
In a life buffeted by familial loss, religious persecution, censorship, plagues, political upheaval, social violence, and a dark lady, William Shakespeare perhaps felt compelled to create his cast of fully-human “villains.” Why do we still revere them, and what makes them archetypal? McCleary, who has played most of them over 35 years, explores Shakespeare’s men of deformity, abuse, honor, and prejudice – all framed by Shakespeare’s famously too-kind Macbeth, whose inexplicable horror has helped shape our modern psyche. This enhanced Salon will feature full production values on stage.

Talkback follows.

A mistake is made, however, and Veta is committed rather than Elwood! Eventually, the mistake is realized, and a frantic search begins for Elwood and the invisible pooka, which ends with Elwood appearing, voluntarily, at the sanitarium.
