Up To Date

I enjoy this podcast because it shines a contemporary light on plays, shares information on producing the original Shakespeare, and gives insight into the plays themselves. Scott Kaiser is a brilliant Shakespeare scholar.

A must for theater people!

Such lovely stories with terrific conversations. Modern stories about actors inspired by Shakespeare, these ring true for anyone who has ever been in the the theater. Can’t wait for the next one!

Great for Shakespeare Lovers

The short stories are fun and well-read, and the interviews between ISF Artistic Director Olena Hodges and the author Scott Kaiser offer humor and insight into Shakespeare's works and the process of putting them on stage. Two thumbs up!
