Episode 5: Be Woe for Me, More Wretched than He Is

In our fifth episode, Wendy Magahay performs 'Be woe for me, more wretched than he is'; a soliloquy from Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part 2.

To listen on location, go to St Anne's Academy. You can enter the grounds through the main gate at 835 Humboldt or through the side gate where Blanshard Street meets Academy Close. Head toward the main building. Walk through the parking lot to the right of the building to get to the rear of the building. You are now south of the building. Walk across the small paved area. Ahead you will see two wooden benches. Go to the farthest bench: the second one. If you are able to stand, position yourself behind the bench. You are facing the older part of the building now. If you look up to the right, you will see the cross on the old convent steeple. Place both your hands on the bench. Stand still while you listen. If you prefer to sit while listening, move to the front of the bench. Sit on the far right end. Place your feet together and hold your hands together in your lap. Stay still while you listen.
