The Play's the Thing

Elisheva Hirsch & Sarit Perl

The Play’s the Thing podcast features two theatre nerds talking about what theatre’s greatest playwright said about theatre in theatre’s most famous play! Join Elisheva and Sarit as they discuss Hamlet with theatre professionals, and explore the dialogue between actor, director, character, and theatre itself. Follow along as they unpack the meta-theatrical elements that “hold the mirror up to nature” both within the play and outside it, and try to get a better understanding of what they tell us about theatre and about ourselves.
