Amor Sciendi

I've been asked how long my Shakespeare Play by Play deep dives take me, so I tracked my time for the Macbeth season and I have an answer: Just over 126 hours to produce about an hour and a half worth of analysis. Here's the breakdown of how I spent my time. I'll be posting the Act 1 video on Monday and then there will be a new video every Monday until the series is finished.
