Season 1, Episode 8 - Shakespeare with Simon Callow

Welcome to Stig Abell’s Guide to Reading. In this concluding episode of Season 1, Stig is joined by the remarkable actor, writer and director Simon Callow for a riveting discussion about Shakespeare’s works. From the plays - Simon’s choice TITUS ANDRONICUS and Stig’s favourite HAMLET - to the sonnets, the pair discuss the bard’s astonishing writing, recite their favourite sonnets and make their ‘desert island’ picks. The podcast is an accompaniment to Stig's book THINGS I LEARNED ON THE 6.28: A GUIDE TO DAILY READING, published by John Murray Press on 12th November 2020.
