Much Ado About Nothing: A Shakespeare Crossover Special

In this episode, Michael and Ethan are joined by two very special guests: Risha Lilienthal, host of Tapestry’s newest addition, Shakespeare in the Village, and Lydia Grabau, friend of the show and Shakespeare afficianado!

In this episode:

  • Cut Medieval Brian

  • This play slaps

  • Abandonment issues vs. intelligence issues

  • A short digression

  • Don John: interestingly uninteresting

  • Beatrice slaps

  • Hero is a rock, perhaps THE Rock?

  • As You Like It, or, Everyone Messes Around in the Woods for Four Acts and then the Climax Happens Off-Stage

  • This play still slaps

  • Sorry about all the Joss Whedon talk, Ethan does actually dislike him

  • The most Midwestern ending

Next time Michael and Ethan will discuss Where the Light Fell, by Philip Yancey. Join the discussion! Go to the Contact page and put "Scotch Talk" in the Subject line. We'd love to hear from you! And submit your homework at the Michael & Ethan in a Room with Scotch page.
