Description
The Soliloquy Project is a GVSF original podcast which will allow you to engage with both Shakespeare and the outdoors (our two favourite things!) while staying safe and socially distanced this winter. We've created audio-only performances of some of Shakespeare's best soliloquies, specially designed to be listened to 'on location' in a variety of spots around the Victoria area! Each performance will be accompanied by a more traditional podcast episode, featuring Artistic Director Karen Lee Pickett, and UVic Shakespeare scholar Dr. Erin Kelly, as they take you on an educational 'deep dive' into Shakespeare's text.
