Join host Dawn Monique Williams for another episode of Not Without Right: A Shakespeare in the Public Domain podcast. This week on the pod, Dawn welcomes back Roberta Inscho, joined by first-timer, and confessed Shakespeare unenthusiast, Jordyn Williams. Watch as we discuss our reasons for reading Sophie Duncan's book JULIET and various Shakespeare encounters. We offer our key insights from the book and responses to portrayals of Juliet over time. We cover favorite Shakespeare adaptations and retellings in film and television, as well as various experiences with live Shakespeare productions.
