Teenage Shakespeare Take

Annabelle Higgins is the creator and host of "A Teenager's Take on Shakespeare" podcast (available on Spotify), a series of fascinating conversations with various Shakespeareans in which Annabelle brings exactly what it says on the tin: her teenage take on both the plays and the artist. Her passion for Shakespeare began when she was still in single digits and because it hasn't been tarnished by expectations of what Shakespeare is supposed to be, she's better able to see what Shakespeare actually is. Annabelle reveals how she created the podcast; the power of personal family connections to Shakespeare; how Shakespeare’s text spoke to her at a young age; the happy realization that you can share your voice; taking inspiration from The Show Must Go Online and the Protest Too Much podcast; the wonder of experiencing Shakespeare in other mediums; and the charm of charting one's appreciation of Shakespeare in real time. (Length 17:59) The post Teenage Shakespeare Take appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
