VIDEO: Musing On The Bard: Ben Steel On Shakespeare

As part of our Musing On The Bard series, we sat down with each of our ensemble members to find out what their thoughts are on Shakespeare, the challenges they face when working with Shakespeare text and any other thoughts they might like to share with you and us as they embark on this journey into our new Republic.

To kick things off, we have started with Republic member, Ben Steel, who shares his feelings on facing Shakespeare for the first time, as well as his musings on who Shakespeare might have been.  (Please note – Ben is somewhat alone in our Republic in regards to his views on Shakespeare’s history/identity – but there’s always one … 😉 ).  Enjoy!
