Shakespeare is recognized as the world’s greatest playwright, crafting stories so powerful and close to the human core that they have lasted over 400 years. As actors we have the exhilarating but daunting task to harness his epic characters and vast emotion and make them uniquely our own. To do this, one needs the clarity and ease to make his language second nature.
