World-famous Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro joins us to discuss his vivid and stirring account of a 1930s culture war over the role of theater in American society. He recounts the 1935 foundation and 1938 demise of the Federal Theatre Project which toured groundbreaking productions across America, until it was finally destroyed by the head of the newly formed Un-American Activities Committee in 1939. He discusses the contemporary relevance of the radical project with Dominic Dromgoole, Former Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, who staged Hamlet in every country of the world.
