Welcome, one and all, to A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare’s third Monologue Roundup — the culmination of The Genre-l Idea! This has been a season of insights and exploration, and this showcase of some of Shakespeare’s best comic and tragic stuff plus all things in between encapsulates the spirit of our discussions.

Here Victoria Rae Sook, Marshall Garrett, Elyse Sharp, Sally McLean, Carla Della Gatta, Mandy Hughes and Fenna Capelle have chosen texts that reflect their respective genres the best in their opinions, and tell us all why. Thank you so much to all of you!

To these stars, I add my own monologue in honour of Robin, the wonderful son of Victoria Rae Sook who arrived into the world soon after his mother’s episode. Welcome to the wonderful world of Shakespeare, little one!

Do listen till the end of the episode for an important announcement about the future of A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare this year; the long and the short of it is that I’ll be releasing monthly episodes until further notice due to having exams coming up in a few months time that I must dedicate myself to preparing for. Don’t worry though — there’s still plenty of Shakespeare coming your way!

Check out the podcast on Instagram at @ateenagerstakeonshakespeare and on Twitter at @TeenTakeShax, plus all our incredible guests: you can find their socials in the descriptions of their individual episodes.

Enjoy!
