TWELFTH NIGHT: --via the beloved Zoom. Nobody has a bad word to say for this comedy. Come for the bear-baiting, stay for the music (and the love story).
KING LEAR--via Zoom. It embodies Shakespeare's unhappy observation that for the most part, human beings are incapable of learning anything, and that we would rather kill--or die--than learn. It's not a comedy.
This fall's cycle will consist of SIX classes on TUESDAYS, 7-10:30PM organized around TWELFTH NIGHT,(via the beloved Zoom; end time approximate--BUT SEE THE NEXT PARAGRAPH) and SIX ZOOM CLASSES on THURSDAYS organized around KING LEAR (also via ZOOM).
SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE for schedule.
You can even download them to your computer (smartphone, Kindle, etc.). Only problem: these on-line edititions have no footnotes. But if you buy the very reasonably-priced Folger editions ($6.99 new but available used $1.91), you get excellent footnotes.
You may audit any one session of any of the classes you wish. You just have to let me know.

COST
If you are brand-new student--that is, have never worked with me before--the cost will be $50/class, payable all at once (gasp!)or by the class. If you are a former student from no matter how long ago, you will pay the old rate. If you need a special payment plan, please discuss it with me.
If you want a private session with me it costs exactly the same as a class. If you've never taken a class it costs $75. If this isn't confusing enough, see RATES.
IN ANY CASE, IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE, YOU MUST RESERVE IN ADVANCE. PLEASE EMAIL ME delossbrown@prodigy.net or call me at (212) 865-1127, a landline. I have a special relationship with my cellphone: I hate it and it hates me.
I try to keep the class at a reasonable size, so that people can work on their monologues. I've had to extend class time by 1/2 hour to try to fit more monologues in. Last fall the class always ran over.
TWELFTH NIGHTand KING LEAR ARE BEING TAUGHT VIRTUALLY, OVER THE INTERNET. THIS STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC BUT I'M CONTINUING IT FOR THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS WHO LIVE OUTSIDE NEW YORK CITY.
