Does Shakespeare Silence Women?
- Synopsis
- This podcast is a collaboration between The Telegraph and the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC). In this edition, Claire Allfree questions the role of women in Shakespeare and whether he gives them a voice. Does descending into madness make victims of Ophelia and Lady Macbeth? Why do Queen Anne and Princess Katherine go silent as soon as they are married? And what on earth should 21st-century audiences make of Katherina in The Taming of the Shrew? Joining Claire in the discussion are acclaimed actors Sylvestra le Touzel and Debbie Korley, and director Nancy Meckler.
