What You Will

This Halloween we bring you sp0oky commentary on SLEEP NO MORE, the ~immersive~ theatre piece based on MACBETH. Featuring a peek backstage with special guest Jenna Hokanson, an exhaustive Halloween costume retrospective, and a *real* ghost story. Light spoilers ahead, and a mild content warning for references to sexual harassment and audience participation.

BOO! This week we discuss ghosts, witches, and the Bard's most infamous CURSE (plus Shakespearean costume ideas and the fact that LeVar Burton directed 'Smart House').

JULIUS CAESAR is back! And his ghost wants to know when you're free for brunch. Special guest Avery DiUbaldo joins us as we discuss eating fire, the collapse of real world democracy, and how to win debate club after your friend gets stabbed.

It's JULIUS CAESAR! Shakespeare's only Aaron Sorkin play! Danielle and Charlotte talk politics, cobblers, and whether or not lions are technically a type of weather.

It's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! Again! We talk shady friars, mustache-twirling villains, and how everyone wants to kink-shame Margaret. Featuring real life couple Sara Hymes and Greg Phelps!

It's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! We talk about Elizabethan rom-coms, evil brothers, infinite nieces, and proto-feminist icons. Boy, that Beatrice and Benedick sure do hate each other, huh?

It's THE COMEDY OF ERRORS! Again! Charlotte won’t stop singing, Danielle wants to gossip with the Duke, and special guest Luke Jackson joins to talk about twins, goofs, and his very first Shakespearean encounter.

It's the beloved Mary-Kate and Ashley film, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS! Danielle frees a house elf, Charlotte insists on making everything about capitalism, and everyone advocates justice for Nell.

In the second half of our discussion of ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, we talk about frat boy Parolles and his drum, who's who in 'Beauty and the Beast,' and whether or not Helena is a Mary-Sue. Special guest Emily Lyon!

It's ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL! Everyone's favorite rom-com about an anal surgeon with low self esteem! We talk relatable heroines, hot clueless men, and why tricking people into marriage is not a great idea.

The sound gets nice and crunchy on this one, folks, so apologies to your delicate ears for our auditory crimes!

In this very first episode of WHAT YOU WILL: a Tedious & Brief Shakespeare Podcast, Danielle and Charlotte talk cool teens, true love, and why you probably like this play more than you think you do.
