Shakespeares Works On Mental Health
Shakespeare was more than a master storyteller, poet, and dramatist. His characters, while speaking in verse, are very much alive and human! Often, they are facing mental health challenges just like we do, today. Characters like Viola, Caliban, Hotspur, Lady Percy, and Richard III are dealing with aspects of trauma in their lives. Their voices can offer us a fresh look at mental health in today's world--and their words and perspectives can provide us with a language we sometimes struggle to find and express on our own. This is the power of great world theatre: enlightening us on today's mental health and helping us to learn more about ourselves.
