King lear
It's a challenge but also very rewarding. You have to find the meaning in the language and make it accessible to a modern audience while staying true to the text. Parts of the language don't come naturally to speak today so it takes focus and practice to feel comfortable delivering the lines. But getting to explore the depth and poetry of the language is really special. Shakespeare wrote in a way that is very heightened but also very human, so by slowing down and really listening to the words, I find new layers of meaning and it helps bring the character to life. It's a skill that takes time to develop but it's so worthwhile to be able to tell these incredible stories through Shakespeare's language.

Both monarchs presided over a period where belief in witchcraft and supernatural evil was widespread, and many were put to death under accusations of witchcraft. Shakespeare wrote for the theater during this era, addressing themes that would have resonated with audiences who believed in heaven, hell, and the supernatural.
