Join us LIVE on Sunday, August 11 at 4pm E | 1pm P as we explore one of Shakespeare’s most obscure, uneven, and least produced plays, King John. Only an Oxfordian perspective can fully account for Shakespeare’s odd selection in depicting a cheesy scoundrel of a monarch (and would-be child murderer) whose claim to the throne is suspect and who is excommunicated by an agent of the Pope. Furthermore, why does Shakespeare bend or omit historical events, and why does he invent “the Bastard”: a fictional character who matures from cynic to patriot? Illuminating answers to come!
Meantime visit Dr. Delahoyde’s website to expand your knowledge of the play. And be sure to bring your questions!
Can’t make it live? Replays of previous episodes will eventually be posted on the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship YouTube channel.
The link to attend will be sent out via our mailing list. Not on the SOF email list? Sign up here!
We hope to see you there!
