Shakespeare’s plays have been performed for over 400 years, but artists are still finding bold new ways to bring them to life.

This hour, we’re joined by creatives behind two inventive productions hitting ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø stages this summer: one blends breakdancing with Hamlet, the other infuses A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the vibrant energy of Bollywood.

We explore why these centuries-old stories continue to resonate, and how modern reinterpretations keep them relevant.

GUESTS:

  • Nina Pinchin: Director of , The Hartford Stage
  • Brandon Couloute: Choreographer of Breakdancing Shakespeare,
  • Rebecca Goodheart: Producing Artistic Director,
  • Deshik Vansadia: artistic director,
