Shakespeare On Toast

Actor, author, director, and educator Ben Crystal returns to discuss his book Shakespeare on Toast, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary and is now available in short entertaining clips on Instagram. Ben shares how the book came to be and the origins of its terrific title; how he and his father wrote the definitive work for the 21st century Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary and Language Companion, and how the books continues to be improved and an online resource; how bringing his scholarship to social media combines his academic and artistic skills; incredible insights into 17th-century language from 21st-century students; and the importance of providing a holistic way into Shakespeare's works.
