Was Romeo and Juliet your first brush with Shakespeare? Whether it was on stage, on screen in films by Franco Zeffirelli or Baz Luhrmann or Shonda Rhimes' Still Star-Crossed, or in the pages of the Folger Shakespeare edition, your early experience probably shaped how you see Juliet. Over 400 years, our thinking about Shakespeare's first tragic heroine has shifted repeatedly, revealing as much about us as Shakespeare's play does. Oxford professor Sophie Duncan, Shakespeare scholar and author of Juliet: The Life and Afterlives of Shakespeare's First Tragic Heroine, explores the enduring legacy of one of Shakespeare's most iconic characters. The conversation touches on Juliet's cultural impact, why Shakespeare may have centered his tragedy around a young woman and the societal reflections found in the various interpretations of Juliet throughout history. The episode also discusses how different eras, particularly the Victorian period, have grappled with Juliet's rebellious and passionate nature, often reshaping her character to fit their values. Duncan shares insights into why Juliet remains a potent symbol of love and tragedy and how this character continues to captivate audiences centuries after she was first brought to life on the stage. Sophie Duncan is a scholar who specializes in Shakespeare's performance history and how Early Modern dramas have been used to explore issues of gender, race, and sexuality over the last four and a half centuries. She is interested in women's creative networks, theatrical memory, theater props, cognitive approaches to drama, and cultural memory. Sophie regularly works with theater companies to bring Shakespeare's works to life. Duncan is the author of Juliet: The Life and Afterlives of Shakespeare's First Tragic Heroine and Shakespeare's Women and the Fin de Siècle. She writes about Shakespeare and gender and has worked extensively as a historical advisor in theater and television. Additionally, Sophie is a Research Fellow and Dean for Welfare at Magdalen College, University of Oxford. She lives in Oxford, UK.

This week is Still Star-Crossed by Melinda Taub. The novel, not the short-lived tv show. It’s Evangelina’s week so you know it’s going to be a good time.
William Shakespeare's ROMEO & JULIET was nothing more than a prelude to STILL STAR-CROSSED, an epic drama from SHONDALAND - the producers of GREY'S ANATOMY and SCANDAL - about what happened after those ill-fated lovers took their own lives. If you thought the Capulets and Montagues learned a valuable lesson... you were wrong! The fighting only gets worse in STILL STAR-CROSSED, but was this strange, short-lived show CANCELED TOO SOON?

Welcome Renegade Nation it’s me Naughty Nicole and it’s time for another Renegade Review. And today, we have a double shot for you. Hard as it is to believe we have two new shows both inspired by the Bard himself, William Shakespeare. So today we’re going to be looking at ABC’s Still Star-Crossed and end up the day talking about TNT’s Will. So let’s jump right in and start with Still Star Crossed. Shondaland became a premier source of primetime programming because the production company and its founder, Shonda Rhimes knows a good TV concept when it sees one. A hospital full of super-attractive doctors who all sleep with each other while tackling interesting cases? Check. A Washington fixer who knows how to solve any problem? Check, check. A law professor who drags her five students into a murder case or two? Super Check. Shondaland’s track record is solid that Still Star-Crossed comes as a surprise—and not a good one. Okay, so first things first, I like the bare bones of the show: there’s a good basic premise here and, basically, it should be a slam-dunk. “Should” being the operative word. Let’s start with the positives. We have all talked about how people of color should be in more historical fiction, from books to TV to movies. The big draw Still Star-Crossed has is it’s a show filled with people of color in Shakespeare’s classic story, Romeo and Juliet. Lashana Lynch stars as heroine Rosaline Capulet, who lives with her sister Livia in the home of their uncle Lord Silvestro Capulet and hateful aunt Lady Guiliana Capulet. In an effort to end the violence that increased after the elopement and deaths of Romeo and Juliet, Prince Escalus proclaims Rosaline should marry her blood enemy, Benvolio Montague, the nephew of Lord Damiano Montague. I mean, the cast is attractive enough, and hell it even has Anthony Head, who I absolutely adore. So the basic premise is this… it’s a period drama that picks up where the famous story of Romeo and Juliet leaves off, charting the treachery, palace intrigue, and ill-fated romances of the Montagues and Capulets in the wake of the young lovers’ tragic fate.
