Shakespeare died almost 400 years ago, but his plays live on. In ‘To play the King’ John Bell discusses his portrayal of King Lear, and why the Bard still resonates with modern audiences.
Also in this issue:
In ‘Hotel Democracy, Bill Snaddon discovers how the game of politics is played in Tanzania; in ‘Freeze Frame’ Romy Ash discusses the world-wide push to save the Polaroid photo; Tom Cho talks about his philosophical approach to writing in ‘Cho’s Choices’; and in ‘Roving Eye’ photographer Tammy Law takes us on a journey through a drought-ravaged region of Ethiopia.
Our ‘Vendor Profile’ is Bill from Sydney. And we have ‘Streetsheet’ contributions from: Marcus in Melbourne, Mary in Perth, Michael in Sydney, Glenn in Sydney and Owen in Melbourne.
