The Genius of Shakespeare with Colin David Reese
To celebrate Shakespeare's birthday a special episode with guest Colin David Reese, actor, author and performer of 'Shakespeare Unbound', a one man play about the creation of the First Folio Edition of Shakespeare's plays, which was published 400 years ago this year.
David spoke to me previously (see bonus episode 'Shakespeare Unbound') about his play and the creation of the first folio and he makes a welcome return here to further discuss our continuing fascination with Shakespeare, how we view his genius, and what the truth really is behind that image.

Colin David Rees
Colin has a lifetime of acting experience under his belt and has spent a lot of that time working on Shakespeare’s plays. From that experience he has developed two Shakespeare shows and ‘Shakespeare Unbound‘, his one man show, brings his experience and knowledge into an entertaining and informative play. This is the story of John Heminges, the man who edited the First Folio and was instrumental in getting it published.
