Today's topic comes from our dear friend, costumer extraordinaire and friend of the pod, Nancy Nichols!!! Thank you, Nancy!!!

Regret and remorse are BIG themes in a lot of the Shakespeare canon. In this episode we discuss who regrets the actions of their past, who doesn't regret the actions of their past, and who thinks they won't ever give a rat's ass but alas, that ain't how it's going to go.

What do YOU regret?? Or not??

We realized that we have never talked about the children and babes that appear in the Shakespeare canon. And we're shocked!!

In this episode, we do just that - who are the younger generation characters? And what is their purpose and what do they add to the stories??

Get your binkies ready and jump right in to the baby pool with us!!

Is there someone you would die for? Or something? A cause, perhaps?

In this episode (which is, of course, inspired by the play Les Liaisons Dangereuses that we are rehearsing), we discuss the characters in the canon that die for something - a person, a cause, a King.

Would you die for something?? Write and tell us!!

Come see Les Liaisons Dangereuses!!!

Soooooo.... for once, we are currently in the same city, in the same building, in the same rehearsal room every day, rehearsing an English play based on a French novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses. (See below for link for tickets!!!)

And French stuff is on our minds, for sure!! Obviously, that led us to thinking about all the French stuff in the Shakespeare canon - words, characters, situations, historical events, tout ça!!!

In this episode, we dive into the proverbial Seine. Viens dans l'eau, c'est bien!!!!

Come see Les Liaisons Dangereuses!!!

There are SOOO many times that characters break bread (sometimes humans in the form of a pie, but I digress...) together in the Shakespeare canon.

So we were thinking... which of these famous banquets and dinners would we want to attend? Which ones would we not touch with a ten foot halberd??

In this episode, we dive into the soup, as it were. Come on in!!

You know... you just can't avoid a lot of stuff that happens over social media these days, and one of those things THIS week was that hilarious outing of the CEO and his bitch at the Coldplay concert.

I MEAN, HOW DUMB CAN YOU BE?????

It got us thinking though... what are the instances of infidelity and adultery (real and imagined!) in the Shakespeare canon? We can't believe we haven't talked about this before, but here we go!!!
