Description
Rough Magic is Seattle Shakespeare Company’s podcast exploring ideas, stories, and interviews related to the world of theatre…specifically classical theatre.The format may change and emerge as the program grows. Some weeks we’ll feature a series exploring a specific theme or topic, other times we might present an original audio story that drew inspiration from Shakespeare. Or, we might just check in with artists to get their thoughts on a play, a role, or a dream project. The canvas is wide open.

In this episode with playwright Yuseff El Guindi, we miss an opportunity to meet Samuel Beckett, demystify the acting process with a backstage fart, talk Shakespeare in Cairo, illustrate the rudiments of storytelling, and learn the truth from a djinn.
In this episode of Under This Light we uncover advocacy in our blood, are given the tools for representation by our theater community, reckon with Flow Drum Song, and dance with the queen of the Fairies.

In this episode Carey Wong (Scenic Designer, Visual Artist, Adjunct Professor) shares his experience as the only Asian-American boy in an all-white school during integration; talks about his love-affair with opera; his ideas for scaling Shakespeare for smaller stages; and muses about a futuristic production in the clouds.
