- Synopsis
- Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Episode 21 in series. Steve Martin talks with Denise Walen about the sweeping changes in costumes, scenery, and other staging choices in the 400 years since Shakespeare’s time. From elaborate settings and carefully researched costumes that were meant to educate audiences, to modernist stripped-down sets or fanciful re-imaginings, Shakespeare productions have long responded to the theatre choices of their day. Denise Walen is an associate professor in the Department of Drama at Vassar College. She was the curator of "Here Is a Play Fitted," a Folger Shakespeare Library exhibition.
