Welcome to episode 3 of Characters of Shakespeare’s Plays on A Teenager’s Take on Shakespeare!
Today, Alice Bloomer chats with host Annabelle Higgins about princesses/fools who support and lament the choices of an elderly father/king, mischievous sprites who are simply in it for the fun of it and a driven Scottish queen who will stop at nothing to achieve the crown her husband has been prophesied.
Alice is a grad of Drama Studio London and Rose Brufords Foundattion Acting course. During the pandemic Alice produced a serialised production of Cymbeline to give her and her friends acting work during the pandemic. Prior to that they dabbled in podcasts writing brief 20-30 minute summaries of Shakespeare's plays to help out struggling GCSE students and people who wanted to see a play but didn't know where to start. They are currently getting a Masters in social work, but will one day return to the theatre.

Enjoy!
