In Conversation: Go, make you ready with Patsy Rodenburg

Published: March 4, 2016, 11:50 a.m.

William Shakespeare’s work changed our theatre, language and even, some say, the perceptions we have of ourselves. His 154 sonnets published in 1609 document his passions, both intellectual and personal. They inform and merge with many of his plays. Using his sonnets as springboards into his creative and personal life, this new devised piece by Guildhall's Head of Voice Patsy Rodenburg explores the theatre, acting, passions and politics of Shakespeare’s life. Joining us for this podcast are Patsy, co-director Sue Lefton, DSM Ellie Cheyette, and actors Bessie Carter and Akpore Uzoh. Go, make you ready takes place at Silk Street Theatre from 18-23 March 2016.
