b"For three years, Shakespeare Uncovered has provided a crash course in Shakespeare\\u2019s best-known plays, presented in hour-long documentary form and guided by film and theater stars like Morgan Freeman, Kim Cattrall, Ethan Hawke, and Helen Hunt. On the third (and likely final) season of Shakespeare Uncovered, which premiered on PBS on October 12, Brian Cox and Romola Garai make timely investigations of Julius Caesar and Measure for Measure, Helen Hunt looks at the rom-com legacy of Much Ado About Nothing, and Sir Antony Sher probes Richard III's dangerous charms.\\n\\nThe people behind the series are TV producers Richard Denton and Nicola Stockley. As the series was gearing up for its third season, the two of them came by the studio to talk about how they create these in-depth episodes and some moments from the series have really knocked their socks off. Richard and Nicola were interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. \\n\\nFrom our Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published October 16, 2018. \\xa9 Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.
