The Bard-er, Bad Boy of Shakespeare on Draught: Romeo & Juliet on Zoom feat. guest Bowen Fox

Michael discusses the epic Zoom livestream of Romeo and Juliet with the talented Bowen Fox, the "bad-boy" of our company. You may recognize him better when he's standing on top of a spookily-lit truck with his face coated in blood. He and the cast of R&J slew in an unprecedented Romeo and Juliet livestream that is going to change everything about theatre in the time of Corona.

Michael Vine and Laurie Winkel call in Shakespeare on Draught newcomer Emily Nedvidek, who left us in stitches with her Tiger King-inspired renditions of "O, What a Noble Mind" and "Is This a Dagger" monologues in rounds 1 & 2. We talk turkey on whipping votes, Laurie's head-shaving Lady Mackers, flaming carpets, and the anarchy that is to come in our final round. Candles are henceforth BANNED (not really). WE NEED OUR THEME SONG SET TO MUSIC, PLEASE.
