...daring new biography, Shakespeare's Wife, Shakespearean authority Germaine Greer seeks to right the wrongs done to Anne. Through documentary evidence and close readings of Elizabethan texts, she re-embeds Anne's life in its social context to deliver the first systematic rebuttal to Anne's detractors. What emerges is a provocative, well-reasoned set of hypotheses that suggests Shakespeare drew inspiration from, and even loved, his other half...

Lazarcheck ’08, this new adaptation of the classic history play seeks to reinvigorate the Elizabethan text with modern influences as disparate as tennis great John McEnroe and the detritus of a collegiate Saturday night. The play, which recounts the disintegration of King Richard II’s reign and Henry Bolingbroke’s subsequent bloody accession to the throne, is in many ways rooted...
