Re-writing Shakespeare Is Nothing New

For a guy who's been dead for 400 years plus, we sure talk about Shakespeare a lot.  What can you say: he's still got it. 

Part of Shakespeare scholarship is interpreting his works, and interpreting EARLIER interpretations.  A number of Shakespeare's works were re-written in the 17th and 18th centuries, to "improve" them for the audiences of the day. 

Shakespeare aficionado Geoff Ridden at Camelot Theatre in Talent today (October 19th).  We invited the other Geoffrey R. to spend some time talking about the project.
