036 Take My Mistress, Please... AGAIN!: The Two Gentlemen of Verona REDUX (1589)

Update: 2025-03-25

Description

We're having a second chance at a first impression. Shakespeare's first play -- AGAIN!

Just like Shakespeare got better, so have we. Sophie and Michael go back to Shakespeare's very first play. Does Shakespeare's debut -- packed with love triangles, cross-dressing, and love-able rogues, and hate-able heroes -- benefit from a new light? Tune in to our new episode 1 and episode 36.
