How old ARE Romeo and Juliet? And Antony and Cleopatra?? And Rosalind and Orlando??? And King Lear????

In this episode, we discuss not only how old the characters in the canon are (or in many cases, appear to be), but also, whether or not it makes a difference to the story. And on top of THAT, we also talk about how well known actors play characters VERY different from their own age when they play certain roles.

Ageism, you say?? Nah.

It's oppressively hot in the Northeast US right now... and that got us thinking about the definition of hot...

hot - /hät/ adjective

adjective: hot; comparative adjective: hotter; superlative adjective: hottest

1. having a high degree of heat or a high temperature.
2. (of food) containing or consisting of pungent spices or peppers which produce a burning sensation when tasted.
3. passionately enthusiastic, eager, or excited.
4. INFORMAL - involving much activity, debate, or intense feeling.
5. INFORMAL - knowledgeable or skillful.
6. INFORMAL - difficult to deal with.

So we decided that in this episode, we discuss those things, people, places, events etc. in the Shakespeare canon (and the like) that fit all of those definitions.

Hey, it's a way to keep our mind off the blazing heat!!

Soooo...

After we're dead, if any of our dear friends want to listen to one episode of our podcast because they knew us well and miss us terribly this is the one. If they do listen, they'll go - yeah. That's them.

We're talking about hoes and whores in the canon. Draw your own conclusions.

Happy National Fuck You Hoes Day!!!
