Yes, we know we spelled it the British way... on purpose of course, because that is what this episode is about!! The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust began last year (as a result of academic pressure) to "de-colonise" its collection. 

What does this mean? Well, Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust has warned visitors that some items in its collections may contain ‘language or depictions that are racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise harmful’.  (obviously, it was from a very different time.) The Birthplace Trust’s real concern is to stop British people taking pride in Shakespeare and seeing his work as a symbol of ‘British cultural superiority’. 

Barf.

Exactly how do we feel about it??

We LOVE when listeners write to us and suggest an episode topic!! This one comes out of an email by a listener - and actually, we mined several topics of that email!! 

In this episode, we talk about those characters who have committed literal or figurative crimes and whether or not they get away with it. Is there anyone you can think of that we missed??

We've been surrounded lately by the abuse of power running rampant in our country. It's disheartening. So how do we combat this?

We connect it to the Bard!!!  

What characters are guilty of misusing their office and/or position for nefarious uses? Why? And how does it serve the play?

In this episode, we discuss just that.

The weather outside is STILL frightful, but getting better. Nonetheless, dealing with it has made us grouchy. And cranky. And fussy. So we thought...

Who are the grouchiest characters in the Shakespeare canon? And what are the degrees of grouchiness? In this episode, we (crankily) discuss this topic.

Who can you think of that we missed? Write us and we'll send you COOOOOOOL swag!!!!!

We've been thinking a lot about the cold... a huge snow storm where we live, bitter temperatures, the protests against the employees of the Dept. of Homeland Security... sigh. Shit IS ice cold!!! Also, LA is currently directing a production of The Winter's Tale and there is some COLD freakin' behaviour in that play!!!!!!

So we thought... who are the coldest characters in the Shakespeare canon? What are some of the iciest moments?? Who's the Shakespearean Mr. or Ms. Freeze???

We discuss. Who can you think of that we missed? Write us and we'll send you COOOOOOOL swag!!!!!

Asses, butts, behinds, and fistulas.... what do they all have in common?

Actually, we were just amused at the thought of an episode about asses, so there you are.

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???

Hello dicks and dickesses!!

We are taking this week off due to personal reasons, but we leave you here with LA and a few Shakespeare quotes about thankfulness.

Hope your Thanksgivings (if you celebrate it, that is!!) were warm and wonderful!!

LA & Owen
