Professor Says Wants To Make Shakespeare Woke. – The Lid

William Shakespeare’s work was both the best written and most universal. Beyond theater, the Bard’s work fits into a broad range of subjects, including political science (my other major), history, and sociology, even a look at how attitudes about race, different faiths, and women have changed over the past 500 years. Now University of British Columbia Associate English Professor Dennis Britton presumptuously believes he has the skill to edit the greatest playwright in history, creating non-woke versions of Shakespeare’s plays.
