Winter's Tale 301

Winter's Tale 301

Whamlet

In this in-depth 301 episode, we dive right into the strange little mind of David Garrick, the famous 18th century Shakespeare actor and super-fan, and his adaptation of The Winter’s Tale: “Florizel and Perdita.” We read a few scenes side-by-side for you from Shakespeare and Garrick so you can judge for yourself who did it better. Equally important, Jess sings a song (written by Garrick for Perdita), and we gossip a little bit about some personal and ShakesBubble happenings. Don’t start this episode if you can’t finish it… ;)

Here are the gossip items:

1. Lyn Gardner has an answer for the Telegraph article we talked about last week.

2. Fred C. Adams (Utah Shakes founder) passed away on Feb. 6.

3. SHAKESPEARE GYM LOLZ
