Was Shakespeare writing about zombies? What if Romeo & Juliet were transformed at the end of the play rather than just dying? We’re joined by playwright and creator Melody Bates to talk about her love and frustration with Shakespeare, her acting origins, and translating fashion and folklore into performance.

Content Warning: This episode contains conversations about or mentions of blood, gore, misogyny, death, suicide, disease, and violence.
