TEACHING SHAKESPEARE SYNOPSIS
Teaching Shakespeare is a parody of a college Shakespeare class, and a portrait of a frustrated actor turned frustrated
professor struggling to keep his teaching position, despite terrible student evaluations.
He is condemned for idolizing Shakespeare, racing off on
tangents, never completing the assigned scene during class,
and finally and most damningly, always electing to perform
for the class rather than teach.
He tries desperately, during this 50 minute monologue, to
cover the assigned material, but his flaws again get the
better of him. Class time runs out before he can complete
the day's scene and as he realizes he will soon be denied
tenure and forced off the faculty, he quotes Shakespeare:
"When we are born, we cry, that we are come to this great
stage of fools."
