Subject:    Great New Shakespeare Resource

 

I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Clear Shakespeare, a word-by-word podcast for teachers, students, readers, directors and performers of Shakespeare’s plays.

 

The first batch includes an hour-long introduction to Shakespeare’s world and theater, as well as the long and complicated path his works took over the last 400 years. It also includes a 9-part breakdown of Hamlet, defining difficult words and syntax, highlight unusual diction and poetic devices, and adding historical and cultural context. New plays will be added in the coming months and years. You can find all those podcasts at http://clearshakespeare.com/podcasts/.

 

I hope you’ll take the time to listen to and enjoy Clear Shakespeare, and to use it with your classes and theater companies. Please don’t hesitate to write if you have questions or comments on the project.

 

Regards,

Akiva Fox
