Now... both of us have taught in institutions of higher learning. And both of us have engaged in scholarly discussion of the Shakespeare canon from time to time, but first and foremost, we are actors and creatives and THAT is how we look at the text. 

What's the difference between how an actor views a Shakespeare play and how an academic views a play? And FYI, loving to teach and loving academia are not the same thing. This is what we discuss in this episode. Textbooks OUT!!!!

This its our belated Thanksgiving episode, dicks and dickesses!!!  We are talking about those characters in the canon who are truly jive turkeys. Oxford Dictionary says "a dishonest, insincere, or foolish person." But it's not that simple - people are complicated!!! We only thought of a few definitive jive turkeys, albeit other characters have some jive turkey-esque qualities.

Who can YOU think of???

To be completely honest, this episode came directly out of the fact that Owen had a colonoscopy the day we recorded.

However, we stand by it - there are TONS of ass reams in the Shakespeare canon. People are always yelling at each other. 

That's what we're discussing today. Short and sweet. Can you think of any we missed?

Happy Halloween!!! 

Blessed Samhain!!!

Oíche Shamhna shona daoibh!!! (Which basically means "Happy Samhain to you all")

It is the evening where the veil between this world and the spirit world is the thinnest.  It is the day of costumes and black cats and candy corn and trick or treating. It's a day filled with a lot of drama throughout history.

In this episode , we discuss which characters would give or get a trick? Which characters would give or get a treat?  And what would certain characters dress up as for Halloween?

Grab your goodie bag and your broomstick and join us!!

Today's topic comes from our dear friend, costumer extraordinaire and friend of the pod, Nancy Nichols!!!  Thank you, Nancy!!!

Regret and remorse are BIG themes in a lot of the Shakespeare canon.  In this episode we discuss who regrets the actions of their past, who doesn't regret the actions of their past, and who thinks they won't ever give a rat's ass but alas, that ain't how it's going to go.

What do YOU regret?? Or not??

We realized that we have never talked about the children and babes that appear in the Shakespeare canon.  And we're shocked!!

In this episode, we do just that - who are the younger generation characters? And what is their purpose and what do they add to the stories??

Get your binkies ready and jump right in to the baby pool with us!!

Is there someone you would die for? Or something? A cause, perhaps? 

In this episode (which is, of course, inspired by the play Les Liaisons Dangereuses that we are rehearsing), we discuss the characters in the canon that die for something - a person, a cause, a King.

Would you die for something?? Write and tell us!!

Come see Les Liaisons Dangereuses!!!
