About this episode
Episode 130 The Real Thing
This episode deals with the actual experience of interpreting for an epic Shakespearean play - a combination of Richard III and hip-hop music in a fantastic production that (IMHO) is greater than the sum of its parts. The Real Thing touches on the actual process of theatrical interpreting, the importance of preparation, and the joy of the human element.
