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.

Episode 3: Now, My Co-Mates and Brothers in Exile

December 18, 2020 • Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival • Episode 3

In our third episode, Cam Culham performs 'Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile'; a soliloquy from Shakespeare's As You Like It.

To listen on location, make your way to the big parking lot at Henderson Recreation Center on Cedar Hill Road. With your back to the sign for Henderson Centre, cross Cedar Hill and enter the large treed area. Follow the long gravel road toward the tree line for four or five minutes, until you see a trail on your right hand side, leading to a large set of stairs. (This staircase is just before you'd arrive at UVic Parking Lot #1). Walk down the stairs, and find a small wooden footbridge beside a sign reading 'Mystic Vale'. With your back to that sign, look up at the tall towering trees and listen to this piece.
