About this listen

We kick off Season 3 with eminent South African Shakespearean David Schalkwyk. He talks to Chris Thurman about prison writing, Shakespeare on Robben Island, a new production of Twelfth Night at the Maynardville Open-Air Theatre in Cape Town, Uys Krige's Afrikaans translation of the play (Twaalfde Nag), and why David thinks Shakespeare is best performed without a director. Along the way, inspired by the fool Feste, there is music from Noël Coward and Jacques Brel.
