Let's Talk Shakespeare: Where did Shakespeare Live?
Listen now
Description
For the fifth episode of Let’s Talk Shakespeare, I asked “Where did Shakespeare Live?”. To answer this question we must look at three differnt periods in his life: his youth, his life in London and his married and family life. In this episode I talk to our guests about the different properties we know Shakespeare lived in, which ones he owned and when he bought them, and we also look at what life would have been like living in these very different properties, both for Shakespeare and his housemates. This weeks guests are: Professor Stanley Wells, Honorary President of the SBT Professor Michael Dobson, Director of the Shakespeare Institute Ben Crystal, Actor and Producer Dr Tara Hamling, Senior Lecturer in Early Modern history at Birmingham University Dr Paul Edmonson, Head of Research and Knowledge at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust In this podcast we also talk briefly about the exciting project the SBT is undertaking to re imagine the site of New Place, Shakespeare's final home. You can keep abreast of the developments and news from that project over on their blog If you want to get in touch, you can tweet us on @ShakespeareBT or using the hashtag #talkshakespeare You can find the accompanying show notes for this podcast over on our blog: http://findingshakespeare.co.uk/draft-lets-talk-shakespeare-shakespeare-live
