Wed. Oct. 23 Shakespeare Intro Cont.

Today, we discussed the entertainments on the other side of the Thames (Bear-baiting, womanizing, theatre) focusing on the importance of theatre as escapist entertainment. We ended our discussion after introducing a pandemic (the Black Plague) and explaining its effects on society. For those who haven't done so, be sure you get late assignments in as I have to make up the new RTI sheet for Friday.
