    Season 3 Episode 1 - A Conversation with Janni Younge and Hamlet

    In this episode I sit down with Cape Town based theatre maker, puppet maker, director, producer and performer, Janni Younge. This is a special episode that breaks with tradition on this podcast in that this is the first time I am interviewing an artist from and in Cape Town. What's more I got to watch her puppetry rendition of Hamlet at the Baxter Theatre. Hamlet is also special because I was in the process of grieving my own loss while teaching the text, and so this episode was enriching not only for the usual listeners and me (obvs), but for literature students too. Enjoy this delightful conversation!
