This online study guide is designed to help you enjoy attending our production.
Because the play has a historical setting, there will be vocabulary and concepts that may not be familiar to you. A quick browse through our glossary of words and concepts should help with that.
The play has a number of dominant themes that the guide will explore and to which it will offer links if you want additional information. There are also suggestions for classroom activities included at the end of sections, to allow further exploration of the play's themes.
