As a part of both Tabling: The Podcast and the Radio Shakespeare Lab, the International Shakespeare Center is producing full radio versions of all of Shakespeare’s plays over the course of the next year. Two in the first of this series are history play “King John,” and tragedy “Hamlet.” For the Tabling podcast, each play will have five-six episodes of “table work” discussions. New discussion episodes are released on Mondays and Thursdays. For the RSL podcast, each play is voiced by actors from across the country and incorporates sound effects and original music. Scenes from the plays will be released Tuesdays and Fridays.

“King John” has been directed by Ariana Karp, and “Hamlet” has been directed by Emma Rosa Went. Find more about all of the actors involved here.
