Its 1606, in the jolly old town of London. Jesuit revolutionaries have just tried to blow up Westminster, women are being accused of witchcraft across the country. There is a new king, who hails from the mysterious, dark hinterland of Scotland. Who can make sense of this crazy world? Who has skills at writing thrills to pay the bills? Who likes his shirt with frills? William 'Netflix Exec' Shakespeare!
This week, our host Catherine Hickey is joined by Sean O’Brien and Temple Carrig‘s principal Alan Cox (proud member of both the Mathematics and Economics departments of the school), to discuss the context within which the play was written, and how best to view Shakespeare now as a modern audience member.
