Women, like water, slowly carve their own path. This is fluidity.
Welcome to the Creating Fluidity Podcast where we amplify women's voices in theatre and the arts in Pittsburgh, Western, PA and the world!
Today April speaks with Yvonne Hudson, a.k.a. Mrs. Shakespeare.
We talk about Yvonne's introduction to Shakespeare in Elementary school, her trouble with diction, her love of singing, our mutual affection for the Scottish play, the Zeffirelli Romeo and Juliet movie, the impact of Shakespeare's grasp on the human condition and more.
We want everyone to know about Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Park's Week of Will which you can find out about and participate in by going to their website www.pittsburghshakespeare.com or their Facebook page PSIP (Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks). All the events are held over Zoom and are free and open to the public. They do ask you consider a donation to the theatre company and/or the food bank, all of which you can read about and do on their website.
In the 2nd half of the website we Yvonne tells us about the Three Rivers Shakespeare Festival and developing her show Mrs. Shakespeare while working on the festival. She talks about Dr. Favorini's wide influence across the festival, Pitt and his legacy. She mentions Lynn Conner's book, Pittsburgh Stages, which has information on theatres that no longer exist. And we chat about the magic of theatre and trying to get your friends who are not interested in Shakespeare into it bit by bit, plus more!
You can find Mrs. Shakespeare on Facebook and on Twitter as msshakespeare or on her page Poet's Corner.
