Description

Hermione is a rarity among Shakespeare’s characters: She’s mother of young children. This queen at the center of “The Winter’s Tale” gets put through the wringer before she can be reunited with her daughter. In this episode, LMU professor Theresia de Vroom and Amy Kim Waschke — who played Hermione at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival last year — discuss how to approach the moment that calls Hermione’s faithfulness into question, what’s remarkable about her trial scene, and varying interpretations of that spectacle of a statue.

Featuring interviews with both actors and academics, Shakespeare’s Shadows delves into a single Shakespeare character in each episode. Perspectives from the worlds of academia, theater, and film together shape explorations of the Bard’s shadows, his imitations of life — pretty good imitations, ones that reveal enough of ourselves that we’re still talking about them four centuries later.
