In W&L's production of the play, during the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, we taught the students the gestures from Bulwer's Chirologia, a 17th Century system of hand and physical gestures designed to intensify the emotional and symbolic meaning of human language. 

​

Because the students were masked and we had to film the production, this unique approach enabled the students not only a wonderful opportunity to learn 17th century style, but to bring it to life more fully, even though their faces were covered.
