a podcast about Shakespeare…minus the bardolatry

Shakespeare Anyone? is the podcast that makes Shakespeare easier to understand.

In this podcast, you’ll hear detailed summaries of Shakespeare’s plays, research into topics related to the plays and Shakespeare’s time, and interviews with Shakespeare scholars and theatre-makers.

Through exploring history and modern scholarship, we look at how the plays and the playwright fit into their world and today’s world. All while doing our best to avoid any bardolatry.

Shakespeare Anyone? is hosted and produced by Elyse Sharp and Kourtney Smith, two professional actors and Shakespeare scholars.

We examine one play at a time for an extended window of time, interspersed with mini-episodes about Shakespeare’s time for context.

Episodes are released every other week.
