Andrea Smith is Lecturer in English and Creative Writing at the University of Suffolk. Her research focuses on audio interpretations of early modern plays, listening to how they transform something for the stage into something for the ear. She brings her research into her teaching and outreach work, using audio clips to help people understand Shakespeare's texts and inspire their own creative work. Her research has been published in Shakespeare Survey, Shakespeare, Women's History Today and Radio Journal. She has also discussed her research in the short documentary series, The Beeb and the Bard on BBC Radio 3, as well as participating in the network's discussion programme, Free Thinking.
An indispensable guide to the huge (and largely free) treasures of our greatest writer. It's often said that radio plays have the best scenery; this book proves that they have the best words as well.--Samuel West, actor and director Forget the old chestnut that if Shakespeare were alive now, he'd be writing for Hollywood: Andrea Smith makes clear that he'd be writing for the verbal, imaginative medium of radio. This revelatory book opens a fascinating new field of study.--Emma Smith, University of Oxford
