About this event

Shakespeare shaped how we see England's kings and queens — but how much of it is fact versus dramatic licence? Gary Thorpe from 4MBS Classic FM and the Festival String Quartet dig into the history and the myth, with live music threading through the talk. It's the opening event for the 20th annual 4MBS Brisbane Shakespeare Festival.
