Pulitzer Prize-winning author and world-renowned Shakespeare Scholar Stephen Greenblatt explores The Bard’s insight into bad (and often mad) rulers in his newest book, Tyrant: Shakespeare On Politics.

ASP Resident Acting Company members and ASP Youth collaborate with Greenblatt to illuminate Shakespeare’s tyrants, from the fierce to the funny, with excerpts from Shakespeare’s plays and devised interactive performance pieces.

We are also thrilled to announce WGBH’s Executive Arts Editor & Host of Open Studio Jared Bowen will join Greenblatt on stage for a conversation about the relevance of these themes in today’s world.
