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 4: Are Not these Woods More Free from Peril than the Envious Court?

December 18, 2020 • Greater Victoria Shakespeare Festival

0:00 | 22:01

In this episode, Artistic Director Karen Lee Pickett and Shakespeare scholar Dr. Erin Kelly talk about the magic, romance, and relevance of the 'Now, my co-mates and brothers in exile' soliloquy, featured in Episode 3.

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 Episode 3!
