    As social politics continue to change with gathering speed, works of literature have to catch up or fall by the wayside. The plays of Shakespeare, written in a very different age from our own, must be scrutinised. Does this play, a notorious battle of the sexes, pass the test? Sheldrake thinks so.

  • Short SoS – Review – Titus Andronicus at the Globe
    The current production of Titus Andronicus at the Globe Theatre in London has the sort of theatrical courage that all Globe productions, indeed all Shakespeare productions, should have. Much like the play, this production takes risks, and they pay off big time. Subscribe on iTunes: http://tinyurl.com/ndhzfxm

  • Richard II – History or Tragedy?

    https://sheldrakeonshakespeare.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/richard-ii-history-or-tragedy.mp3

    Richard II has grown in fame in recent years, but is hounded by the fact that the central character is brilliant whilst the rest of the play is the usual run-of-the-mill History drama. But is it that simple? By paying closer attention, can we see that the true genius of this play is in its combination of genres in order to understand history? Sheldrake thinks so.

  • Short SoS – Venus and Adonis

    https://sheldrakeonshakespeare.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/short-sos-venus-and-adonis.mp3

    The poetry of Shakespeare tends to be an “also-ran” in his canon, but Venus and Adonis tells us as much about his development and abilities as any of the plays.
