Musing On The Bard: Sally McLean On Shakespeare

We asked Shakespeare Republic Artistic Director and ensemble member, Sally McLean to share with us what she feels is the greatest challenge with Shakespeare and any other thoughts she'd like to share. Sally shared with us her challenges with the language, her thoughts on who Shakespeare wrote for and how best to access your first piece of Shakespeare, as well as being highly entertained by Alan Fletcher's preliminary interview ... enjoy!

So what does Shakespeare mean to you?

This is Shakespeare Republic: Michala Banas, Alan Fletcher, Rowena Hutson, Sally McLean, Billy Smedley and Ben Steel. Join us, as we set out on this journey into the unknown to discover the Bard and what he means to us in the 21st Century. We are Shakespeare Republic ... and the shenanigans have only just started ...
