Listen "Twelfth Night: Twindecent Proposal"
Episode Synopsis
Shipwrecks, women disguised as men, scolds getting their comeuppance, mismatched love matches, and twins! If you’re sensing some common themes in Shakespeare’s comedies, dear listener, you’d be correct. Yet Will and James do not find the combination becomes more charming with repetition despite the play’s reputation as one of the Bard’s best light-hearted laugh riots. In this rip-roaring lightning episode, they question whether the comedies are, as a rule, generally bad or whether it’s just them... // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: “Shakespeare in Love,” dir. John Madden (1998)
