The Clown, the Jester, and the Fool in Shakespeare’s Plays
Be it Madness or Wisdom, Comic Relief or Satire, the Truth or Topsy-Turvey Reality, whatever the licensed and solitary outsider utters, resonates in our soul. He is insolent, irreverent, and provocative, and so frees us from the prison of predictable normality. His shrewd quick wit disrupts and subverts, and causes the creative chaos that moves the plot on. Is it only in the theatre that we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools?
Join art historian and scholar Andrew Wolpert for this lecture.
