Ep 140 THE GENIUS OF SHAKESPEARE FT: DARREN FREEBURRY-JONES

The Artists: Arts, Culture, and Cinema with Suchita Bhhatia

How would you feel like living in a town where there is Shakespeare parked in every corner, staring at you!!! And how would it feel to be surrounded by actors who only play Shakespeare and his characters all the time!!
Dr Darren Freebury-Jones is a Lecturer in Shakespeare Studies at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon. He is the author of multiple books, all having a relation with Shakespeare.
In this fun chat, we talk about not just the 400-year-plus legacy of Shakespeare, but also the strong influence of his work that keeps inspiring, filmmakers across the globe. And why?
What makes Shakespeare this genius- his deep understanding of the human mind and the human condition, or his belief in something beyond what we see?
To be or not to be? Is that the question for you? Or as Darren puts it Let it be.
I do not know if there is any writer, for me who comes closer to Shakespeare- not just his multidimensional character but also how he thought about his acts and plot points and structuring - literally being the innovator of what we are following as a template. It is complex, yet it is simple- to be or not to be, or just let it be.
