Why Shakespeare? is a podcast hosted by Victoria Gartner in which she asks why? Why do people have such complex relationships with Shakespeare and why do they do it, practice it, revere it or shun it? With guests ranging from actors to academics, she explores a wealth of material, from methods to madness, about what it means to do Shakespeare today. Whether you celebrate him, question him, or can’t stand him, this show uncovers what keeps his words buzzing in our world (and our ear!) today.
