The Aspen Institute

All truly great phrases come from Hamlet. This, our second annual seminar, is best captured by Shakespeare’s character, Guilderstern, when he said there will be “much throwing about of brains.” Over the course of two highly interactive sessions, Shakespearean experts Ken and Carol Adelman will lead participants through an exploration of Hamlet in film.

Participants will view and discuss clips from nine different films of Hamlet, gaining a more thorough understanding of this compelling work. Dinner will be provided both evenings (February 5 & 12, 2009).

Fee: $125. This program is open to anyone under the age of 45.
