Bite Your Thumb is a new comedic interview show Lipp Media. Host Jess, a hater of 'Romeo and Juliet', takes listeners into fair Verona to uncover why we love re-visiting, adapting, transforming and upholding this famous story.

In this episode, Jess has a fascinating conversation with Bell Shakespeare's Artistic Director Peter Evans. They discuss his directorial choices of a production of R+J in 2016, and how toxic patriarchy and the blind, prejudiced rule of the older generation rules the world of young doomed lovers.
