About this episode
We are back after another hiatus! And this time we invite you to join us in a magical episode of Shakespearean trivia and artistic nerdgasms. We are joined by performing artist, storyteller and The Great Bard Afficionado Extraordinaire – Debs Newbold (UK/IR)! Debs has worked extensively with retelling Shakespeare’s plays as storytelling shows, having reached international acclaim with her versions of King Lear, Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet. Lately, she has been wrangling the beast that is "The Tempest“ which is slowly entering its final form. With that play as a jumping off point we discuss what it means to be faithful in a process of artistic adaptation, and how revision can feel like a glorious act of rebellion that is yet somehow able to be encompassed and even welcomed by a canonical work of art.
