William Shakespeare, or the Bard of Avon, is considered one of the greatest playwrights, poets and actors ever born; and is often regarded as the greatest writer in the English language as well as the world's greatest dramatist. He is a writer of many plays, sonnets, narrative poems and other major works and verses which have been translated into countless languages and performed throughout the ages.

Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language with his works continuing to be studied and reinterpreted in modernity. Join us as we take an exciting trip into the world of Shakespeare.

About this episode: In Shakespeare’s plays, and particularly his late plays, forgiveness and reconciliation often occur via the transit through particular realms, whether pastoral, ‘green worlds’ which regenerate human communities or sacred spaces such as chapels and temples where the co-mingling of mortals and divinities is dimly felt.
