"O, There Be Players That I Have Seen Play."

Alternative title
Great Shakespeare Actors
Synopsis
Podcast from the Folger Shakespeare Library. Shakespeare is brought to life by the actors and actresses who speak his lines. Professor Stanley Wells considers the most outstanding Shakespeare performers, from past to present, and creates his own personal Hall of Fame. Wells sifted through firsthand accounts from those who saw these great performers on stage to get a sense of what the actors brought to Shakespeare and why it was worth going to see them. Professor Wells writes about these artists in his book ‘Great Shakespeare Actors: Burbage to Branagh’. Stanley Wells is interviewed by Stephanie Kaye.
