A masterclass about the hidden meaning behind characters from Ancient Greek theatre, commedia dell’arte, film, television and slapstick. From the Greek trickster gods to the spirit world in Japanese Noh Theatre, the world of Drama has discovered a way to hide the realities and truths from themselves and the world around them. Join New York Professor Rosemary George as she takes you on a lecture tour through the joys and sorrows, comedies and tragedies of life through the lens of the theatrical mask.
