Join us as Chris Wiegand, Stage Editor for The Guardian, one of the world’s most respected and revered newspapers, returns for conversations about theatre and the arts around the globe.  


Re-imagining Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s characters, plotlines, and language have proven timeless, giving artists and directors the freedom to explore various genres and eras. While some traditionalists believe that Shakespeare should only be presented in period costumes with swords, others embrace the chance to connect with younger audiences through modern interpretations. Join Chris Wiegand, Stage Editor for The Guardian, as he talks with Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino and Chris Abraham Director of As You Like It, about the ongoing journey of reimagining the Bard’s work.
