Description

In Season Three, we're looking at soliloquy! For the conclusion of our look at Shakespeare's use of soliloquies, we turn to the meta-theatrical soliloquy, from Bottom playing Pyramus to Hamlet declaring that the play is the thing.  


Sure, we know that Characters can perform Soliloquies...but what happens when those Characters "play Characters?"


We're talking about kangaroo pocket dimensions.  We're talking about that one time an Elizabethan actor punched an audience member.  We're talking about meta-theatrical soliloquies!
