Dream in Shakespeare


The Kaye Playhouse

Harvard's Marjorie Garber, author of Shakespeare After All, explores the rich world of dream, fable and imagination in Shakespeare's plays. Drawing on her groundbreaking book Dream in Shakespeare: From Metaphor to Metamorphosis, Professor Garber traces this fascinating subject from the prophetic dreams of Richard III through the quicksilver landscape of A Midsummer Night's Dream, the personal myth-making of Antony and Cleopatra and finally, the late romances' healing worlds of poetry, fable and music.
