Women of Will: Following the Feminine in Shakespeare's Plays by Tina Packer

5.0

Listening to Women of Will feels like having many cups of coffee, walks along the garden, and the occasional pint with a favorite aunt or a beloved teacher and her male companion, both of whom, happen to also be brilliant actors and courageous souls. There are chapters worthy of standing room only at Oxford or The Globe and chapters where the thread gets a little lost and the experience feels a bit scattered and you wonder if you'd both rather be somewhere else. Those might be poor metaphors for getting at the strengths and weaknesses of this work, however, my point is that if you love Shakespeare and you love the kind of embodied/examined experience that are core to acting and the work of Shakespeare & Co then event in the moments where this work does not quite work you are in marvelous company and glad to be there. Highly recommended, particularly in audio form.
