Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama

S2 E9: King Arthur and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Play (1906)


Listen Later

Sometimes we learn best by learning from other people's mistakes.  Such is the case of Stark Young's 1906 verse play, Guenevere: A Play in Five Acts.  (Don't worry, Young went on to have a very good career in books and film.  Just...not so much verse drama.)
