Before diving into our discussions surrounding Macbeth, we wanted to give a synopsis of the events of the play as they are written for anyone who hasn't read the play at all, in a while, or found it confusing to try and read on their own.  Shakespeare Anyone? is created, written, produced, and hosted by Korey Leigh Smith and Elyse Sharp. Our theme music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander. Works Referenced: Shakespeare, William. Macbeth. Arden Shakespeare, 2015.

Macbeth: Synopsis

Shakespeare Anyone? is co-hosted by Elyse Sharp and Kourtney Smith, two professional actors and hobbyist Shakespeare scholars. Join us as we explore Shakepeare’s plays through as many lenses as we can by looking at the text and how the text is viewed through modern lenses of feminism, racism, classism, colonialism, nationalism… all the-isms.

We will discuss how his plays shaped both the past and present, and  look at how his work was performed throughout various periods of time–all while trying our best to approach his works without giving in to bardolatry. 

We examine one play at a time for an extended window of time, interspersed with mini-episodes about Shakespeare’s time for context. Episodes are released every other week.
