“This podcast got me through the thickest bit of the pandemic, when, holed up in an apartment in Brooklyn, I dreamed nightly of labyrinthine backstages and under-rehearsed productions of massive classics. Once, returning from a trip to the grocery store (how anxiety-inducing those trips were, back in 2020/2021), I inadvertently burst into tears upon hearing the all-male warbling of “Sweet Lovers Love the Spring” in the “As You Like It” episode. I was so moved by the poignant sound of people joyfully and seriously playing pretend. I missed it so - missed witnessing it, and participating in it.
I now listen to old episodes whenever I’m preparing to go onstage. In each episode, there’s always a piece of very useful wisdom that guides me towards the truth in my craft.
Please, can we have more? We still need it.”
