    Ages of Shakespeare

    How old ARE Romeo and Juliet? And Antony and Cleopatra?? And Rosalind and Orlando??? And King Lear???? In this episode, we discuss not only how old the characters in the canon are (or in many cases, appear to be), but also, whether or not it makes a difference to the story. And on top of THAT, we also talk about how well known actors play characters VERY different from their own age when they play certain roles. Ageism, you say?? Nah.

    Hot Shakespeare!!

    It's oppressively hot in the Northeast US right now... and that got us thinking about the definition of hot... hot - /hät/ adjective adjective: hot; comparative adjective: hotter; superlative adjective: hottest having a high degree of heat or a high temperature.(of food) containing or consisting of pungent spices or peppers which produce a burning sensation when tasted.passionately enthusiastic, eager, or excited.INFORMAL - involving much activity, debate, or intense feeling.INFORMAL - knowledgeable or skillful.INFORMAL - difficult to deal with.So we decided that in this episode, we discuss those things, people, places, events etc. in the Shakespeare canon (and the like) that fit all of those definitions. Hey, it's a way to keep our mind off the blazing heat!!

    Season 6 Opener - Subjectively Annoyingly Shakespeare

    Welcome to Season 6!!!!  We know, right??? We can't believe it ourselves!!!! That being said, we decided to get a little selfish and okay, self-serving, so in this episode, we talk about the characters in the canon that we - personally, for whatever reason!! - find annoying.

    The State of the Art Shakespeare - Season 5 Closer

    As we head into our sixth season of The Bardcast, we firstly want to say - thank you, thank you, thank you to all our incredible listeners!!!!  We are SO grateful for your love and your listening and your patronage, especially in this current climate. Which leads us to today's topic - The State of the Art in the United States right now. To be succinct - IT FUCKING SUCKS. Arts organizations are losing what was previously promised grant money by the tens of millions of dollars.  In Henry VI Part 2, in Act IV Scene 2, Shakespeare has Dick the Butcher saying “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Apparently, in the US we are starting with the artists instead.  And it's terrifying.
