Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the ramifications of what it meant for William Shakespeare to write a political play in his time, and how he achieved that without punishment. They examine the Elizabethan torture mentality on the grounds of religion and how it relates to today's modern society and political climate. And they reveal that the collaboration between Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare was not as unusual as it seemed since one third of all Elizabethan plays were collaborations. Plus, Craig talks about the significance of the episode's title "A Plague on Both Your Houses," and how he employed a very Shakespearean plot device in the writing of this specific episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
