BBC program where two gentlemen, John Caird and Simon Russell Beale, discuss their interpretations of Macbeth. I find it odd that the short summary refers to Macbeth as Shakespeare’s most popular tragedy. I have to think that either Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet would take that title.

If the audio link is no longer working (I have it on my list of things to listen to), I found the original link on BowBlog, where there is a link directly to the MP3.

You have to love an interview that is entirely about Shakespeare, like this one with Kevin Spacey. He chickens out of most of the questions, refusing to name a least favorite play and saying “They’re all good, I don’t have a favorite” to picking a favorite one. But who knew he was playing Richard II? I don’t really see it.

Edit: I originally wrote “Richard III” because I read the article wrong. It’s Richard II.
