This podcast is going to be a decorum-be-damned entrance into understanding Shakespeare’s stages (for there are many) and all the players on it. We will be delving into the ever-pressing question: Why Shakespeare? Or, sometimes: Why, Shakespeare?!

Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Who has the Healthiest Relationship of Them All?

For so long we have lauded the relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as the healthiest relationship amidst an an unhealthy plot, but Lady Fenton and Anne Page topple the Macbeths in Merry Wives of Windsor and OSP shows that, in Windsor (as should be everywhere), everyone gets a seat at the table. Join me as I talk with Kit Rasmussen in his debut role as Lady Fenton (yes, you read that correctly) and Bell Reeves, a very familiar face and voice in this podcast, in her role as Anne Page as we talk about gender, strong women, and blurring the lines. Shakespeare ascribed his players many traditional parts, but he often mocked them as quickly as he assigned them. Join us in this episode in a traditional mocking of our “parts.” Don’t forget that this is the last week of Merry Wives at OSP so get your tickets and join us from the 12th through the 15th.
