Listen "Minisode 3: Lucrece"
Episode Synopsis
Written for the Earl of Southampton in 1594, Shakespeare’s “Lucrece” recounts the fall of Rome’s corrupt kings. The precipitating event is the sexual assault of the noblewoman Lucrece by King Tarquin’s son. Her decision to come forward and demand justice leads to the rise of the Roman Republic. In this Bard Flies minisode, Will and James discuss how the story of Lucrece relates to our world today and how it contrasts with Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis." // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous)
