ASV: SPRING 2024 COACHING AUDITING, COST, SCHEDULE:

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA: Will Shakespeare, who was as neurotic as any of us, comes to grip with his parents as adults--quarrelsome, unreasonable, alcoholic, and irresistibly lovable. There's some Roman stuff, too.

MACBETH--LIVE!--in which a clever Scotsman circumvents the usual promotion process by bumping off the boss and his rivals.

This fall's cycle will consist of EIGHT classes on THURSDAYS, 7-10:30PM (via Zoom), organized around ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA and EIGHT classes on SATURDAYS, 1:30PM-4:30PM, organized around MACBETH. For the convenience of students who live on the West Coast, Thursday's classes will be taught via ZOOM. Saturday's classes will be taught IN PERSON, LIVE, right here in Manhattan, at my palatial studio at 444 Central Park West. (I don't use a commercial studio in the spring because we won't need air conditioning.)

SCROLL DOWN or CLICK HERE for schedule.

Cleopatra
Cleopatra! (actually Elizabeth Taylor)
 
Macbeth (Denzel Washington) and Lady M. (Frances McDormand)
celebrating after bumping off Duncan. How wicked.		    

NB: I'm sorry to say that nobody above, not Ms. Taylor, Mr. Washington nor Ms. McDormand, will be in the class.

Public service announcement: FOLGER which is very reliable has put the entire text of ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA on line at https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/antony-and-cleopatra/read/, and the entire text of MACBETH at https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/macbeth/read/. You can even download them to your computer (smartphone, Kindle, etc.). Only problem: these on-line edititions have no footnotes. But if you buy the Folger, you get very good footnotes.

AUDITING


You may audit any of the Antony and Cleopatra Zoom classes you wish. You just have to let me know.

SCROLL DOWN FOR FULL CLASS SCHEDULE.

COST


If you are brand-new student--that is, have never worked with me before--the cost will be $50/class, payable all at once or by the class (gasp!). If you are a former student from no matter how long ago, you will pay the old rate. If you need a special payment plan, please discuss it with me.

If you want a private session with me it costs exactly the same as a class. If you've never taken a class it costs $75.

You can mail me a check or checks to:

Deloss Brown
444 Central Park West, 5A
New York, NY 10025

IN ANY CASE, IF YOU WISH TO PARTICIPATE, YOU MUST RESERVE IN ADVANCE. PLEASE EMAIL ME delossbrown@prodigy.net or call me at (212) 865-1127. I have a special relationship with my cellphone: I hate it and it hates me.

I try to keep the class at a reasonable size, so that people can work on their monologues. I've had to extend class time by 1/2 hour to try to fit more monologues in. Last fall the class always ran over.
