Shakespeare, Tyranny and China

What do King Lear, Mao Zedong, Richard III and Donald Trump have in common? How tyrants exercise power was a question of pressing concern for William Shakespeare, and is no less so in our current age. Join us on December 16 at Asia Society in New York to hear literary scholar Nan Z. Da in conversation with Shakespeare expert Stephen Greenblatt, moderated by Orville Schell.
