Interview with the Bard, Part 1: The Beast With Two Backs (Audio)

What would Shakespeare say if he could speak to us today? In our new blog series, we’re doing just that—bringing the Bard back for a series of playful, insightful, and often hilariously bawdy conversations!

To kick off, we sat down with Shakespeare for an exclusive interview about one of his most colorful phrases: “making the beast with two backs.” Famous for his wit and his unapologetically cheeky wordplay, Shakespeare didn’t hold back, sharing the inspiration (and audience reactions!) behind this infamous phrase. In this first post, Shakespeare’s sharp humor and knack for double entendre remind us why his works have endured.

Stay tuned as we delve into the mind behind the masterpieces and explore the genius—and mischief—of Shakespeare, one interview at a time!
