Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast

Author Nicole Galland returns to the podcast to discuss her page-turning new historical novel Boy, a story of young love, political intrigue, and cross-dressing both onstage and off in Shakespeare’s London. Nicole reveals how she discovered that the separate characters she was imagining belonged in the same book; how the historical Alexander Cooke differs from her fictional creation; how she's able to so brilliantly describe the streets of 16th-century London; the art of reverse-engineering Shakespeare's characters to create the actor who might have played them; why Nicole’s a novelist and not a playwright; and how there’s nothing better than a literary three-way. (Length 23:04) The post Nicole Galland’s ‘Boy’ appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
