Welcome to Sotherby's Talks, the podcast that celebrates art, culture and collecting. In this episode, which was originally recorded as a live event hosted at Sotherby's, we were joined by Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Oxford, Tracy Ann Oberman, Who most recently starred as Shylock in her adaptation of The Merchant of Venice and acclaimed actor Joseph Kloska. Their discussion will focus on how different editions shaped our understanding of Shakespeare's plays and the implication of textual variation, how and why Shakespeare's language appears differently across sources, and what these descriptions discrepancies reveal about the mutical nature of the texts?
