This week we talk about The Winter's Tale (aka Jess's second-favorite play). The Rhetorical Device of the Week is ellipsis; the Burbage Break is all about stage directions, including the *most famous* one of them all; Jess plays Line Roulette; and this week's ShakesBubble Gossip features a blog post by Haley Bachrnach about so-called "gender blind casting."* We also discuss the importance (or lack thereof) of the bear, forgiveness, and magic, though not necessarily in that order.
