In our second 201 episode, we go "narrow and deep" into topics related to Romeo and Juliet. We revisit the rhetorical device of pleonasm and how the Nurse uses it for comedic effect; from Jess's corner we learn a little production history, a little print history, and a little poison history; Aubrey's corner (or rather her soapbox) is mostly in defense of Juliet's equivocation habit and why we should not underestimate her or her "lady brain;" and, finally, in our ShakesBubble gossip we give you a quick and dirty run down of all the R&J productions* coming to theatres near you!
