Coinciding with the April anniversary of Shakespeare's birth (and death), and in time for this year's open air performances by the Three Inch Fools at Alnwick Castle, this episode of the Alnwick Castle Podcast is a Shakespearean special! Join host Daniel as he talks to Shakespeare scholar Ronan Paterson about the Bard's connections to the history of Alnwick Castle. Ronan talks in detail about the depiction of famous Alnwick knight Harry Hotspur in Henry IV Part 1 - with the exclusive reveal of a new theory on Shakespeare's inspiration for the character - and he discusses the importance of the history plays as well as the global appeal of Macbeth.
Tickets for the Three Inch Fools performing Shakespeare at the Castle can be booked from alnwickcastle.com. Check the website regularly for the on-sale date.
