Shakespeare's work belongs to all of us. Despite structures of racism and White Supremacy that have co-opted his work for their own purposes, Shakespeare's poetry is a canvas upon which any artist can paint their portrait of the human experience, made richer by bringing all parts of themselves to the work. This class is led by first-generation Vietnamese-American actor Đavid Lee Huỳnh with a special invitation to BIPOC actors who have felt excluded from the world of Western Classics. Đavid's body of work includes professional productions of over half of Shakespeare's canon including the critically acclaimed Henry VI produced by the National Asian-American Theatre Company at the Public, The Merchant of Venice produced by Theatre for a New Audience, The Shakespeare Theatre in Washington DC, the Royal Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, Scotland, and Apocalyptic Artists Ensemble's 2026 tour of Macbeth.
