What is ‘wonder’ and what place has such an elusive quality in Shakespeare’s work? Exploring form, structure and dramatic tropes – shipwrecks, twins, disguises, recognition scenes – this course will delve into how Shakespeare’s sparkling and magical early Comedies were intended to bring about ‘wonder’ in the theatre, leaving audiences with a baffling sense of awe, marvel and delight.
