The Bardcast: "It's Shakespeare, You Dick!"
The State of the Art Shakespeare - Season 5 Closer
As we head into our sixth season of The Bardcast, we firstly want to say - thank you, thank you, thank you to all our incredible listeners!!!! We are SO grateful for your love and your listening and your patronage, especially in this current climate.
Which leads us to today's topic - The State of the Art in the United States right now.
To be succinct - IT FUCKING SUCKS.
Arts organizations are losing what was previously promised grant money by the tens of millions of dollars. In Henry VI Part 2, in Act IV Scene 2, Shakespeare has Dick the Butcher saying “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
Apparently, in the US we are starting with the artists instead.
And it's terrifying.
