Our producer attended the 3rd Biennial Conference of the Asian Shakespeare Association to interview Professor Peter Holland about Shakespeare in performance. Professor Holland was the keynote speaker at the Conference, sharing with attendees his research into trailers of Shakespeare or based-on Shakespeare films. This presentation on trailers points to the "uncomfortable" relationship between Hollywood and the Bard. Our producer picks up the discussion from there.
