Musing on the Bard: Episode 7: Tim Constantine (A Shakespeare & Acting Podcast)

Welcome to Musing on the Bard: a podcast for the Shakespeare curious, hosted by Australian actor, Sally McLean, and featuring today's guest, the fabulous Australian actor: Tim Constantine.

Known to Shakespeare Republic audiences for playing the award-winning role of "Hamlet" in Shakespeare Republic: #AllTheWebsAStage (The Lockdown Chronicles), Tim's stage roles include “Jerry” in Pinter’s Betrayal; “Freddie Filmore” in It’s A Wonderful Life; “David O. Selznick” in Moonlight & Magnolias; “Louis Ironson” in Angels in America; “Lady Bracknell” in The Importance of Being Earnest; “Rosencrantz” in Rosencrantz and Guldenstern Are Dead; “Randall McMurphy” in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest; and “Lord Alfred Douglas” (‘Bosie’) in both The Judas Kiss and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde.

Tim also originated the role of “Captain Moonlite” (bushranger, lay-preacher, ‘madman’, and queer icon) in the acclaimed Moonlite – a new Australian musical play by bestselling author Gabriel Bergmoser. People might also have caught him in the usual line-up of Australian TV shows, including Underbelly, City Homicide and Neighbours.

Join Tim and podcast host, Sally McLean, as they discuss how best to approach Shakespeare as a newbie, the realities of being a working actor, mental health in the industry, how to bring yourself to Shakespeare when performing his characters, which of Shakespeare's plays they're not fans of and why, did Shakespeare have a problem with women and much, much more in this wide-ranging, fun and insightful conversation - available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible and more.
