    Nov 15 2024

    Well..........................

    It happened. And we're none too pleased about it.

    But we have to move forward. Kind of. So this episode is - ostensibly - about where we see parallels in the Shakespeare canon.

    Enjoy. If you are able.

  • Who's Afraid of Shakespeare?
    Nov 1 2024

    During her daily perusal of The New York Times, LA came upon an article entitled "Who's Afraid of William Shakespeare?" written by Drew Lichtenberg, the artistic producer at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington.

    Texting it to Owen, immediately upon finishing said article, we decided that this was serious fodder for our pod.

    In case you want to read along, it was published on October 21, 2024.

  • Pathetic Shakespeare
    Oct 18 2024

    pathetic /pəˈθet̬.ɪk/

    1. arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness.
    2. miserably inadequate; of very low standard.
    3. ARCHAIC - relating to the emotions.


    This episode, dear listeners, is our conversation about which characters in the Shakespeare canon can be considered pathetic. As you can see, there's a range - do you agree or disagree with us???

  • Maggie Smith Shakespeare
    Oct 4 2024

    Oh dear listeners.....

    We are truly bummed. The world has lost a major light, a star, a talent without compare, a "National Treasure," as King Charles said.

    Dame Margaret Natalie Smith passed away on September 27, 2024 at the ripe old age of 89.

    This is our heartfelt tribute.

    We love you, Maggie - rest well. And make some amazing art with all your compatriots in the hereafter!!!

  • Emma Thompson Shakespeare!!
    Aug 23 2024

    Sooooooo..... not only is Emma Thompson a brilliant actor and wonderful human being, but she is the one who told Leda (Owen's wife) and Lisa Ann, in a bathroom in London after having seen that stunning As You Like It that we've talked so much about...

    "Theatre is supposed to reduce you to rubble!"

    Heaven knows this fabulous woman has done that SOOOOO many times in her career.

    We love her!!!!!

  • Judi Dench Shakespeare!!
    Aug 9 2024

    In the last couple of months, we've delved into some of the most well-known Shakespearean actors. All of them male.

    It's time to shift the focus!!!!! In this episode, we rush headlong into the female side of this category - and who better to start with than herself, Dame Judi Dench???

    (Sounds of Owen and Lisa Ann bowing and scraping.)

    Literally (like the title of her recent book!), Shakespeare was the man who paid her rent!!!

    Yaasssss, Queen!!!!!
