In the Spring of 2020, as theatres all over the world were shut down due to the pandemic. Tina Packer, actress director, legendary expert on Shakespeare had an idea. Why not put out a series of webinars to help raise money for Shakespeare & Company, the world-renowned theatre company she founded? Once a week for six weeks, Tina looked at Shakespeare's plays through a different lens, philosophical, poetical, physical, political, psychological, and personal. The result? A series of completely original master classes that explore Shakespeare's plays from different angles, revealing the underlying messages and major questions that interested Shakespeare, and how his ability as a dramatist allowed him to express them in action as well as words. Through this inspiring narration listeners will discover the lifework of Packer, who’s been hailed “marvelous!” by The New York Times and “irresistible” by the Associated Press
