Reduced Shakespeare Company Podcast

Missing summer blockbusters and live outdoor Shakespeare performances? Her Majesty's Will by novelist (and actor and fight choreographer) David Blixt is your perfect substitute! It's a fun and thrilling adventure about the young pre-genius Will Shakespeare who becomes entangled in a deadly and hilarious misadventure when he accidentally uncovers an attempt to murder Queen Elizabeth herself. David talks about his process and inspirations; how he's attracted to gaps and Hope & Crosby shenanigans; some deceptive cover art; the difficulty of writing a funny novel when the world is in such an unfunny place; how it all comes from research; how he finesses the facts for fictional purposes; and how truth really is sometimes stranger than fiction. (Length 20:17) The post Her Majesty’s Will appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
