Acerca de esta escucha
A tour de force in-studio performance! Join Master Shakespearean actor Tina Packer as she deconstructs and conjures Shakespeare’s most famous female character and multi-award-winning actor Nigel Gore, who plays Romeo to Packer’s Juliet and Petruchio to her Kate. Together they bring listeners on a riveting journey as they explore love, loss, and power through Shakespeare's heroines, combining the most beloved Shakespeare scenes with riveting, highly accessible analysis.
Through this unique, inspiring audio performance, listeners will discover the mastery of Tina Packer (founder of the world-renowned Shakespeare & Company), hailed “marvelous!” by The New York Times and “irresistible” by the Associated Press, and the steady brilliance of Nigel Gore (Shakespearean actor and audiobook narrator of The Time Machine by H G Wells.)
Funny, fierce, and irresistible for Shakespeare lovers, scholars, artists, and anyone who thinks the lady doth protest too much.
“The play explores Shakespeare’s own enlightenment,” says Packer. “As he delves into the female psyche, and realizes if we don’t deeply listen to what the women say, we are never going to solve the problems of the world!”
“Women of Will [is] dazzling and illuminating.” (Boston Globe)
“Brilliant! Fearlessly impassioned acting that you’ll remember for as long as you live.” (Wall Street Journal)

1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England. During that year, Shakespeare wrote four of his most famous plays: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet; Elizabethans sent off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathered an Armada threat from Spain, gambled on a fledgling East India Company, and waited to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen.

A genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no other. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality, and literary mastery. A man who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else. Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of. But it doesn't tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant.

As an aging, tenacious Elizabeth I clung to power, a talented playwright probed the social causes, the psychological roots, and the twisted consequences of tyranny. In exploring the psyche (and psychoses) of the likes of Richard III, Macbeth, Lear, Coriolanus, and the societies they rule over, Stephen Greenblatt illuminates the ways in which William Shakespeare delved into the lust for absolute power and the catastrophic consequences of its execution.

At the beginning of his career, Joseph Campbell developed a lasting fascination with the cultures of the Far East, and explorations of Buddhist and Hindu philosophy later became recurring motifs in his vast body of work. However, Campbell had to wait until middle age to visit the lands that inspired him so deeply. In 1954, he took a sabbatical from his teaching position and embarked on a year-long voyage through India, Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and finally Japan.

Shakespeare’s world is never too far different from our own, permeated with the same tragedies, the same existential questions and domestic worries. In this extraordinary book, Jonathan Bate brings then and now together. He investigates moments of his own life—losses and challenges—and asks whether, if you persevere with Shakespeare, he can offer a word of wisdom or a human insight for any time or any crisis.

In The World of J.R.R. Tolkien, you will join Dr. Dimitra Fimi to delve into Tolkien’s complex and multilayered mythology, examining all these ingredients and more. In these 10 lectures, you will explore and appreciate Middle-earth as medieval, mythological, and modern, a literary creation that was shaped by forces old and new. And you may be surprised to discover just how much of Tolkien’s legendarium was constructed posthumously, with his son Christopher compiling and publishing many of Tolkien’s later works after his death.

Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Only Peter Ackroyd can combine narrative and unique observation with a sharp eye for the fascinating fact. His method is to position Shakespeare in the close context of his world. In this way, he not only richly conjures up the texture of Shakespeare’s life, but also imparts an amazing amount of vivid, interesting material about place, period and background.

Drawing deeply and candidly on her own experiences, the author illuminates her thought-provoking positions on such issues as beauty and age, relationships and sex, children and careers, and the reassurance and reassertion of the feminine in a patriarchal society.

Nothing short of brilliant
A tour de force, original, exciting, mesmerising, I absolutely loved this fantastic audio drama! Tina Packer and Nigel Gore are really something - what a treat to listen to the great Tina Packer, founder of Shakespeare and Company, as she talks about the evolution of Shakespeare's women and plays so many of them so brilliantly. The banter back and forth between Packer and her acting partner Nigel Gore is fascinating. It's like a speed date with Shakespeare's women. BRAVO a hundred times over. BRAVO!
