I enjoy this podcast because it shines a contemporary light on plays, shares information on producing the original Shakespeare, and gives insight into the plays themselves. Scott Kaiser is a brilliant Shakespeare scholar.
Such lovely stories with terrific conversations. Modern stories about actors inspired by Shakespeare, these ring true for anyone who has ever been in the the theater. Can’t wait for the next one!
The short stories are fun and well-read, and the interviews between ISF Artistic Director Olena Hodges and the author Scott Kaiser offer humor and insight into Shakespeare's works and the process of putting them on stage. Two thumbs up!
Original short stories based on Shakespeare’s plays, read by professional actors, followed by an interview about the inspiration and history of the story? Yes please!
What a spectacular chance to get to here some wonderfully creatives short stories written and performed by such talented people! A fun and creative romp inspired by Shakespeare’s tales, what’s not to love?!
