In this episode Carey Wong (Scenic Designer, Visual Artist, Adjunct Professor) shares his experience as the only Asian-American boy in an all-white school during integration; talks about his love-affair with opera; his ideas for scaling Shakespeare for smaller stages; and muses about a futuristic production in the clouds.

In episode 1 of the Under This Light podcast series, we learn from Dr Nike Imoru how differently Brits and Americans approach Shakespeare; how her studio – The Actor’s Way – incorporates the psychotherapeutic principles of Wilhelm Reich; and we receive a hallowed visit from a Shakespearean ghost.
