Episode 20: A Midsummer Night's Dream: Cocktails and Classics (SEASON FINALE)

A Midsummer Night's Dream might be the best book for beginner Shakespeare readers. Half-comedy, half-drama, all fantastical, this play is just as enjoyable as any edition of Real Housewives. The best part: you don't have to be an expert to enjoy the play, but if you happen to be intrigued, there's more layers hidden behind the curtain. Perfect for Story Stack's Season 1 Finale! “Cocktails and Classics” seeks to inspire readers to open or rediscover the classics, breaking down the stories that have shaped modern literature (with a tipsy twist). Story Stack is a storytelling-centered podcast hosted by writers Ansley Standridge, Gabriel Rein, and Lily Johnson, who understand and care deeply about structure and laughter (and occasionally getting tipsy). It's like book club, but it's more than books, and not quite a club. This is the final episode of Season 1, but don't worry, we'll be back in a couple months with more classics, more hot takes, and more stories of all kinds.
