Tammy and Luke explore and review the 2010 Globe Theatre production of Shakespeare's Merry Wives of Windsor.
EPISODE NOTES: No-one can be great all the time. Spielberg made the movie of the Twilight Zone. Sondheim wrote the Frogs, and Shakespeare wrote The Merry Wives of Windsor. The following are a few things written about this play; that it is “one of Shakespeare's weakest plays” and that it “bears the earmarks of hasty writing”.
All that being said, something we’ve often said in our acting careers is that when the material is weak, it gives you the opportunity to really use everything in your arsenal to create great work for the audience. After all, they can’t all be Shakespeare, where no matter what you do, you’ll never be better than the text. So what we have here is an opportunity; Shakespeare that isn’t Shakespeare. So the question is; did these singers outsing their song?
