Plague Life

from Everyday Shakespeare

What does an $8,600 GOOP wholeness medallion have in common with a popular plague amulet from 1603? Find out in this episode as we discover the uncanny connections between our COVID-19 experiences and the plague lives of people in Shakespeare's world. We'll talk about how Shakespeare's plays and a best-selling plague guidebook shed light on our own pandemic behaviors — from hoarding toilet paper to virus-shaming.
