In this episode we tackle Act 1: Scene 3 of Romeo & Juliet where we meet the main female characters. We talk about the ages of these women and how girls had babies when they were 12 in Elizabethan times. Ewww.... And did you know there was a famous earthquake in England? The Nurse will tell you all about it and more... MUCH more... So tune in for tits and earthquakes and sex advice from one of Shakespeare's most endearing characters.

Not ones to obey rules and order, we jump right in to Romeo & Juliet with arguably the dirtiest scene in the play, Act 2: Scene 4. Don't worry, we'll go back and catch up on the beginning. We just thought we should start off with a bang... so to speak... hope you like the puns cuz they never stop. In this scene Mercutio and Romeo sling the insults and talk about their dicks... a lot! You know, it's what guys do when they hang out, right? You'll learn many words for dick and other body parts, and if you want to know more, check out The Shakespeare Book of Lists.

(drumroll...) The first episode! The one the world has been waiting for! OK... getting carried away already. But that's what we'll be doing here and always - getting carried away, as we explore the ins and outs of Shakespeare's characters (so to speak) and hopefully inspire you to think about him and his writing differently. This first episode explores some basics about how Shakespeare planned out his plays. Who are the groundlings? What is comic relief good for? What does it mean to be in an audience? Who the f*ck are we and why do we care? Why are small parts important (not THOSE small parts... even though, yes, they are...)? And lots of other babble. Enjoy!
