Vivian Tong / Daily Bruin


This Valentine’s Day The Shakespeare Company at UCLA takes the bard’s words of love directly to your loved one. Daily Bruin Radio speaks with members of the group about the unique holiday event and indulges in a performance of one of the bard’s most famous sonnets: sonnet 18. UCLA English Professor Stephen Dickey gives us a deeper understanding of the sonnet and Shakespeare’s divergent expertise in the form.
