John Hemminges finds himself in a Zoom meeting and tells the story of what it was like to be friend and partner to the greatest playwright of all time.

I spent 5 years learning my art(craft) at a not insignificant cost.
I have 50 years experience exercising it.
I am worthy of getting paid.
Like any other self respecting professional.

This webinar looks at some of the instances of hyperbole and how they are used to heighten the dramatic intensity of the scenes.
The plays are full of examples and the characters who employ them are sometimes defined by their use.
