The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"

Sweaty Shakespeare


Listen Later

"In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got Shakespeare, you got Shakespeare on your mind!"

Well, we ALWAYS have Shakespeare on our minds!!

But... it's still summer... hot, sweaty, stinky, sexy summer.  What was it like for Elizabethans in the summer?  In this episode, we discuss that, as well as references to the moistest of seasons.

"For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring."    Romeo & Juliet, Act III Scene 1
