Shakespeare Masterclass 
A two day workshop with Armin Shimerman

The lost key to understanding Classical writing, especially Shakespeare, is the study of Classical Rhetoric. A two-day seminar with Armin Shimerman, demonstrating/instilling language skills, English History, and Elizabethan themes will significantly open up Shakespearean texts to all who intend, no matter one's past relationship with the Bard.
