Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

We're donning our ruff collars, grabbing our poison bottles and heading off to the balconies of Verona. In this episode we decide that Shakespeare was the first Anti-Spoiler writer, and that actually Romeo and Juliet is a riproaring comedy that has been entirely misrepresented over the years!

Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
