Popular Reviews of The History Of European Theatre

It's going to take years to cover all this ground, so hats off to Phil for stamina! Really interesting and informative podcast that is also entertaining. I love that it is chronological, too - makes me not want to miss an episode in case I miss out on a vital piece of information.

A lot of people talk about how Shakespeare influenced today’s society and modern entertainment. But who or what inspired Shakespeare? This podcast can answer that question and so many more. Host Philip takes you back in time to analyze theatre right at the roots, analyzing Ancient Greek and Roman performances, plays, emperors, and playwrights. You will learn things about pantomime and Greek gods that you never thought you wanted to know, but it’s all quite fascinating.
