Brush Up Your Shakespeare

The greatest lyricist of all time? Well, it could be the playwright whose birthday we celebrate this week: William Shakespeare, the Bard of Stratford-on-Avon. On today's episode, we listen to some original music (I mean, really original Elizabethan music) as well as musicals inspired by Shakespeare: THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE, KISS ME, KATE, WEST SIDE STORY. Forsooth!  Odd's bodkins!
