Et tu, Brutus? Theatre group provides artmaking outlet to a multitude of majors across the university
Reporting by the College of Arts and Sciences.
Few writers stir such mixed emotions as Shakespeare. His devoted fans — often called Bardolaters — speak passionately about their favorite scenes and timeless themes of fate, free will, justice, revenge, loyalty and love. For many others, however, Shakespeare can feel like a lingering relic of high school English — something that was survived rather than enjoyed. Lord Denney’s Players (LDP) know that “the Bard” has the power to bring people together and that it can indeed be fun to “brush up on your Shakespeare.” Supported by both the Department of English and the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts, the theatre group embraces the belief that artmaking is for everyone.
