Description
Beware the Ides of March Madness! The question "What's the greatest Shakespeare play?" gets a definitive answer from director Nate Cohen, who's created a massive tournament bracket that pits Comedy v. Tragedy and History v. Romances. Nate shares how Shakespeare's plays got seeded; which plays were the hardest to match up; how a play's reputation affect its seeding; a production of As You Like It for which Barenaked Ladies wrote the songs (what??); the deep bench of Twelfth Night; tough decisions regarding Richard III; the unsurprising dominance of number one seeds; some surprising bracket-busters; a couple of heart-breaking matchups; what play would win out of ten games; and how the proof of each play's strengths come in production. A warning to our affiliates: We will go long. (Length 37:26)
