More than just the obligatory titles
We are almost finished with Othello, and I realize that I’ve crossed a line in my relationship with the works of Shakespeare. This is the first of his plays that I come to with no previous experience. I read the typical four in high school: Julius Caesar, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. Through the years, I’ve stumbled upon Midsummer Nights Dream, Much Ado, and The Merchant of Venice. I thought I liked Shakespeare. But then I started listening to this podcast and reading more of his plays and watching live and filmed versions, and now I LOVE Shakespeare! Thank you for the insight into all the historical context and literary structure! These plays are so beautifully crafted, and I appreciate the backstage tour. It enriches the experience so much. I find myself waiting, impatiently, for the next episode. 😊

I have had a harder time getting through the episodes hosted by David. He has a tendency to ramble, interrupt, and...Read full review »
