SHAKESPEARE REPUBLIC SEASON ONE
THE SNAPSHOT
Using some of Shakespeare’s most famous monologues and sonnets, each episode is a stand-alone ‘snapshot’ of a piece of modern life – be it social, political, emotional or … otherwise. Each piece stands as an individual ‘moment in time’ that highlights how Shakespeare (and his fellow Elizabethan playwrights) were talking about issues and ideas that we are still debating and experiencing today.
