It's no wonder everyone suggested we watch Hollow Crown, it's an excellent production. We talk about it Here! The Globe Player is a great source of performances at the Globe Theater. Check it out! Indian version of Hamlet on NYTimes 15 Minute Hamlet

The Hollow Crown

Our episode on Richard III is more rushed than a usual episode because the play is extremely long. I'd like to come back to it to explore some of the interesting details we skipped. If anyone would like to hear that kind of episode, let us know! Kevin Spacey's interview on playing Richard on stage Ian McKellen's interactive site

Richard III

To celebrate our third season, we thought we'd make an episode no one was asking for: another book club! The books we talk about: The Science of Shakespeare by Dan Falk The Secret Life of William Shakespeare by Jude Morgan Ophelia by Lisa Klein The Book of William by Paul Collins To Be or Not To Be by Ryan North The Horatio Hornblower series by CS Forester The October Daye series by Seanan McGuire In future episodes we're going to debate the subject, "is Othello about race?" and talking about how to stage Hamlet. Please let us know what you think at shakespearepodcast@gmail.com  Leave the subject name "Othello" or "Hamlet" in the email.

BookClub 2

This is our 50th episode! The next episode is the beginning of season three, with our second Book Club episode. Hamlet Act V is an odd one, like the rest of Hamlet. Please vote on what you want the next episode to be!
