Macbeth: Disassembling Shakespeare's Antihero ~3-sessions with Sean Bienert

Why are we still talking about Macbeth more than four centuries after it was penned? Shakespeare's "Scottish Play" is such a notorious look at humanity's propensity for evil that it has its own set of superstitions and lore, and people can’t get enough of it. Though Shakespeare is often described as universal, in 2021 he can still be very challenging for people of all ages. Was Macbeth a villain or a hero? Did he actually exist? Separate fact from fiction as you go through the rise and destruction of Macbeth with expert Sean Bienert. Participants who complete this 3-session workshop will have a better understanding of the play's central themes and historical context; and be able to decode some of the more opaque dialogue and references making it more comprehensible, interesting, and perhaps relatable. *Pre-reading the play is NOT required to take this workshop. *Author of several short stories, including "Perfect Weather for a Baby's Funeral", Sean Bienert has been teaching the Bard si
