Throughout his screenwriting career, Dustin Lance Black has been lauded as a prolific biographer who meaningfully immortalizes the legacy of impactful figures in his films.

The plays of Shakespeare are no strangers to creative adaptations — rather than different time periods or contexts, though, this semester’s Shakespeare on the Lawn’s production takes the classic tale of “King Lear” online. Third-year College student Emma Camp is directing this production of “King Lear,” which will be showcased through Zoom on Friday, Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. To adapt to present conditions, the remote rendition of the play will feature modernly dressed actors in front of sheets of similar color palettes put up in their rooms as “sets.” Despite these adjustments though, the play will remain faithful to the text’s themes of family, power and omnipresent death.

In one of the first scenes of “Dick Johnson is Dead” — a documentary released to Netflix users last Friday — the titular leading man is struck by a falling air conditioner unit while walking, and is subsequently shown dead on a city sidewalk. His still figure lies there for an almost uncomfortable period of time, until he finally gets up aided by various members of a movie crew. This is the father of Kirsten Johnson, a prolific documentarian and cinematographer who has taken on the unique task of producing elaborate, imaginary death scenes for her father in “Dick Johnson is Dead,” complete with multiple stunt doubles and gruesome special effects. He falls down the stairs. He is struck by oncoming traffic. The list goes on. Kirsten Johnson weaves these sometimes comical, often upsetting fictional displays into a more general documentary style, cataloguing her father’s life as it nears its end in the real world. Though this endeavor may seem macabre, it actually proves to be a poignant exploration of how to meaningfully talk about death and how to cherish loved ones.
