This Volpone teachers’ pack accompanies Tangle Theatre Company's current UK tour. It is easy to access and well laid out in four main sections: ‘About Tangle’ explores the company's ethos including the Bantu term ‘ubuntu’ meaning human kindness. There is a very interesting section on township theatre and how Tangle's productions combine Southern African township and collective techniques with Western approaches.
The background information section looks at the historical context of Volpone as well as exploring Ben Jonson and the Renaissance and includes a detailed plot summary and list of themes. In addition, the pack touches on language, poetic forms, sonnets and songs.
