The Soliloquy Project
The Soliloquy Project is a GVSF original podcast which will allow you to engage with both Shakespeare and the outdoors (our two favourite things!) while staying safe and socially distanced this winter. We've created audio-only performances of some of Shakespeare's best soliloquies, specially designed to be listened to 'on location' in a variety of spots around the Victoria area! Each performance will be accompanied by a more traditional podcast episode, featuring Artistic Director Karen Lee Pickett, and UVic Shakespeare scholar Dr. Erin Kelly, as they take you on an educational 'deep dive' into Shakespeare's text.

Season 2, Episode 8: A Lean Cheek, Which You Have Not.

Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival
Artistic Director Karen Lee Pickett and Shakespeare scholar Dr. Erin Kelly chat about the concept of ‘love melancholy’ and the malady of love in Rosalind’s speech to Orlando.
You can listen to this educational deep dive either in preparation for your outdoor soliloquy adventure, or afterwards, as a thought provoking addendum to the performance in Season Two, Episode Seven.
