In this episode, Michael and Ethan are joined by two very special guests: Risha Lilienthal, host of Tapestry’s newest addition, Shakespeare in the Village, and Lydia Grabau, friend of the show and Shakespeare afficianado!

In this episode:

Cut Medieval Brian

This play slaps

Abandonment issues vs. intelligence issues

A short digression

Don John: interestingly uninteresting

Beatrice slaps

Hero is a rock, perhaps THE Rock?

As You Like It, or, Everyone Messes Around in the Woods for Four Acts and then the Climax Happens Off-Stage

This play still slaps

Sorry about all the Joss Whedon talk, Ethan does actually dislike him

The most Midwestern ending
