Dr. Gideon Rappaport, San Diego’s premier Shakespearean dramaturg, will discuss his latest book William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, which aims at nothing less than a radical restoration of the meaning of Hamlet. Though it is one of Shakespeare’s greatest and most beloved plays, Hamlet has been repeatedly misunderstood. This is partly because audience assumptions about the nature of reality have undergone huge changes between Shakespeare’s time and ours.
