The Shakespearean Shrew

The Shakespearean Shrew

This podcast is going to be a decorum-be-damned entrance into understanding Shakespeare’s stages (for there are many) and all the players on it. We will be delving into the ever-pressing question: Why Shakespeare? Or, sometimes: Why, Shakespeare?!

The Shakespearean Shrew ·

You will learn which characters will grace this year’s performance (and which leading man we fangirled over - sorry, Tyler). We talked about the many roles Erin has played and the very different social elements of each role - the

Happy Halloween and welcome to our Halloween episode of The Shakespearean Shrew. Did you know that, in addition to the witch trials that we are so familiar with, there were also werewolf trials?

I am talking with Alissa Branch, director of OU’s upcoming production of As You Like It, which opens this week October 11th and goes until the 20th. Get your tickets because this is going to be a show where you, dear audience, might just end up in the Forest of Arden. In As You Like It where “all the world’s a stage,” Alissa seems to be leaning in and making all the theater a stage. It’s going to get up close and personal.

Horatio, You’re Our Only Hope

2024/10/02

Hamlet has closed, but there is still discussion to be had. Is Horatio important to Hamlet? Horatio thinks so. I agree. We’re talking to Corey Whaley as he talks about playing Hamlet’s conscience - a Jiminy Cricket, if you will. We will talk about walking the line between anchoring Hamlet and letting Hamlet make his own choices. We’ll talk about the play within the play and when Horatio gets to let loose. We will also get to talk to what it means to be a hobbyist actor. Corey has acted for 36 years

“To Be or Not To Be” OR “Get Thee To a Nunnery”: Ophelia’s Choices. *This episode does contain talk of suicide. Is Ophelia a “weak” woman? Don’t say that to Sarah Filek, who is playing Ophelia in the OSP production of Hamlet. Those are definitely fighting words. And, Hamlet is all about fighting words (but not actually fighting). Join us as Sarah and I discuss Ophelia’s choices as she decides “to be or not to be.” We will discuss the importance of Ophelia’s song and why her most impactful

Hamleting

2024/09/18

Talking to Joshua Murray, we get to see “Hamleting” in action. Joshua is self-proclaimed to be indecisive and he uses that to understand Hamlet in Shakespeare’s longest and most acclaimed play. Hear what he has to say about finding his way (both as Joshua and Hamlet), learning 1400+ lines (but he has understudied three roles in a three man play - so he seems built for the role), and dealing with difficult scenes in a fraught setting. This is his biggest role yet - so we’re excited to see all he will

Ikea Hamlet

2024/09/11

We’re back with Tyler Woods talking about “Ikea” Hamlet; how to make an oftentimes dense and daunting Hamlet light in terms of costuming, directing, and, of course, budgeting. In his fourth production of Hamlet, we’ll hear how fatherhood has changed Tyler’s perspective of some of the characters. There are only two women, but we are going to talk about the stories of both women and the predicament that Shakespeare puts them in. He even tries to temper my shrew-link opinion of Polonius (it’s a valiant

The Mustache Makes the Man

Often, we are so immersed in theater that we don’t see the details, but the details are the very things that allow us to immerse ourselves in these worlds. Join us as we talk to Anwen Wenger, costume and cosmetological designer, as she takes us into what it takes to create the world of the stage. We’ll talk about color, theme, and how costumes can be used to convey character relationships (couple’s t-shirts, anyone?).
