We WERE going to call this episode Romantic Shakespeare - but then we realized in a lot of the plays, non-platonic relationships are often UNromantic so.... yeah.So therefore, in this episode, we discuss the believability and viability of the "love" relationships in Shakespeare's plays.  Can one really sustain a marriage when you fall in love in less than a page?? Can you have a happy marriage when you have managed to get married by having some whore pretend to be you so your soon to be husband HAS to marry you???It's a conundrum.  We discuss.AND!!!!  Make sure you join us for second FREE benefit live stream of As You Like It !! Friday April 23, 2021 at 7:30 pm - Shakespeare's birthday!!!                                      and Saturday April 24, 2021 at 3:00 pm - info will be on our website and all social media!!It won't cost you a cent but if you like it, please consider donating to The Actors Fund or Broadway Cares Equity Fights Aids.
