Act Seven - Jukebox Juliet w. Molly Daniels

This week we put on our pearls, polish our opera glasses and dive into the West End madness that is the Max Martin jukebox musical '& Juliet, a camp romp that "answers" the question as to what would happen if Juliet didn't end her life at the end of the original play; certainly not going to therapy, apparently. Joining on this adventure is writer, director, actor and podcaster Molly Daniels, with whom we discuss queer representation, accessibility, how media exploits "queer pride" and "girl power" and trolls ... the Justin Timberlake one ... Find out more about the show and buy tickets to & Juliet Here's more info on the creative work of Molly Daniels Check out her ABC podcast Short & Curly James Somerton's Evil Queens: A Queer Look at Disney History Search Party The Great Have any questions, comments or monologues to deliver?

This week we dive head first into the world of fandom and shipping with Michelle of the One Shot podcast, and discuss how tropes in fan-fiction writing and the academia around Shakespeare contributes not only internalised misogyny and odd AU fics, but on a more positive note, a deep love of One Direction!

Act Three - Shakespeare Down Under w. Peter Evans (Bell Shakespeare)

Episode 3 takes us on a fascinating conversation with Bell Shakespeare's Artistic Director Peter Evans, with a background in Australian theatre, strong thoughts on his directorial choices of a production of R+J in 2016, and how toxic patriarchy and the blind, prejudiced rule of the older generation rules the world of young doomed lovers ... hmm, sound familiar?

Act Two - Shakespearean Improv w. Adam Hembree

Act One - Revisiting Verona

In this debut, solo episode of 'Bite Your Thumb!,' Jessica takes the plunge and re-reads Romeo and Juliet for the first time in almost a decade! Will she despise it as much as she did as a moody 14 year old that tried REALLY hard to enjoy The Sex Pistols to seem edgy, or will she see that it's more fun to read than she originally gave it credit for?
