The Deep Dive: Shakespeare, The First Folio, and Portable Magic with Emma Smith

Welcome, listeners, to the final episode of A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare — consider this a little early Christmas present for you all! This episode's guest was a huge inspiration to me when I first delved deep into Shakespeare and is now, I am very fortunate to say, one of my professors at the University of Oxford. Emma Smith is Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Hertford College Oxford. She has published widely on Shakespeare including her book This Is Shakespeare. She is a Board member at the Royal Shakespeare Company and works as a dramaturg and advisor to numerous Shakespeare projects and productions. Make sure you listen to the end to hear an exciting update on the future of this podcast!

In this episode, I, host Annabelle Higgins, discuss several well-known Shakespearean classics such as Verily, A New Hope, Much Ado About Mean Girls, The Taming of the Clueless, and — hang on, are those Shakespeare? Nope, they’re the work of today’s amazing guest, Ian Doescher. Ian Doescher lives in Portland, Oregon, and is the New York Times bestselling author of fifteen books published by Quirk Books, including the William Shakespeare's Star Wars series, and six self-published books. In 2020, Ian created the Shakespeare 2020 Project.

Shakespeare in Oxford: The JCSP with Dr Peter Sutton

Hello listeners, and welcome back to A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare! In this episode, I open up my discussion of Shakespeare in Oxford with Dr Peter Sutton, covering Jesus College’s impressive Shakespeare Project, and learn a thing or two about directing student productions! Dr Peter Sutton is Alumni Engagement Manager of Jesus College, Oxford and Artistic Director of the Jesus College Shakespeare Project. He read English at St Hugh's College, Oxford before moving to the University of St Andrews where he completed a Master's in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literary Culture and a doctorate on political and social appropriations of Ben Jonson in the Restoration and Eighteenth Century. In 2021, Peter began directing the Jesus College Shakespeare Project - an ambitious collaboration between the college's Access and Development teams - to stage the Complete Works of Shakespeare for audiences of schoolchildren as well as the college alumni and wider university community. So far he has directed The Comedy of Errors, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Taming of the Shrew, the three parts of Henry VI, Richard III, Titus Andronicus, King John, Love's Labour's Lost and Romeo and Juliet, and is currently starting rehearsals for A Midsummer Night's Dream. The Project is due to complete in 2034. Outside of the Project, he has also directed productions of Gilbert and Sullivan and Ben Jonson, as well as the premiere of Brean Hammond's Ben and Jamie and a hybrid production of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood. As an actor, he has worked on plays by Shakespeare, Noel Coward, Terence Rattigan and Tennessee Williams, to name just a few, and has also appeared in a number of music theatre works including playing a principal baritone in all thirteen extant Gilbert and Sullivan operas, along with appearances in operas by Gluck, Janacek and Handel. Enjoy!
