Each week Cincinnati Shakespeare Company’s own Jeremy Dubin and accomplished Shakespeare scholar (and friend of the theatre) Dr. Niamh O’Leary explore the wealth of Shakespeare-centric entertainment that can be enjoyed right from the comfort of your living room! Joined by a rotating panel of guests from CSC and beyond, they tuck into the wide (and occasionally weird) array of Shakespeare movies, recorded performances, adaptations and more available for your consumption.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful
Such enthusiasm for all things Shakespeare! Great balance of performance/academic/fun approaches to Shakespeare’s plays. You’ll love it.
Pleb Approved
For those of us who aren’t Shakespeare scholars or incredible actors, odd film adaptations are the best chance we have to see the plays. Having an opportunity to then hear the experts discuss them is a treat. Always informative and engaging!
Need post production work
Love the content but it desperately needs some post recording work. The sound quality is so varied per speaker and I have to continually make the volume louder and softer depending on who is speaking
