In today’s episode, Erin welcomes Co-Artistic Director Claire Bolton to the pod! They talk about rehearsal highlights and how surprisingly challenging it is to decide where the intermission should be in a Shakespeare play. Erin is also back on her “Beatrice is the main character” grind and takes a break from Much Ado About Nothing… to watch a movie based on Much Ado About Nothing.

In today’s unexpectedly solo episode, Erin recaps the first week of Much Ado rehearsals, including a chaotic, hilarious, and weirdly polished first readthrough. She shares why she’s deliberately staying out of the room during these early stages (and how hard that actually is), gets personal about being knocked out by the stomach flu, and reviews the 2014 RSC production Love’s Labour’s Won. Plus, she explains what ShakesPeers is and why it exists - spoiler: it’s because we want to hang out with you.
