…this summer was a marathon – rehearsing and recording four Shakespeare plays in twenty days. Each play had two days of rehearsal, two days of recording, and then on the actors’ day off, myself, our artistic producer Beth, and the director, Robert, would go back into the recording studio (well-fortified with caffeine and whatever type of cheez-covered crackers happened to be in the vending machine that day) and listen.
