New podcast out now: Owning Shakespeare

“Every episode sees a different text detective take a deep dive into a single Shakespeare speech of their choice. The mission: to unlock the creative opportunities embedded in the text, and wield these discoveries in performance. Discover the craft and graft of acting Shakespeare, with insights and anecdotes from theatre luminaries and exciting new talents alike. Hosted by Rob Myles, who created of The Shakespeare Deck and The Show Must Go Online, has acted over 30 Shakespearean roles, and directed all 36 First Folio plays before age 36.

Award-winning Queer actor, theatremaker, drag performer and festival organiser Isabel Adomakoh Young kicks off our textploration sessions with a deep dive into Cleopatra’s speech in Act 1 Scene 5 of Antony & Cleopatra. Over the course of the exploration, we discuss gourmet hors d'oeuvres, dunking on Pompey The Great, Cleopatra navigating racism and misogyny, and when is an O more than an O?”
