Was very sorry to have missed this, as Coriolanus is one of my favorites! I do hope that someone pointed out that the plot of Coriolanus is literally the "misaligned AI" doomsday scenario.

Good talk thanks Henry. Inspired me to read/watch Coriolanus for the first time. It’s really good! Onward to Cymbeline, which I know even less about. Your book clubs are an incentive to read slightly lesser known WS plays for me.

Did you record any of this, Henry? By a Substack glitsch, I got the email after 16 November, and duly tuned in tonight (Sunday 23rd). Very sad: I particularly love Coriolanus and would love not to have missed it.

Henry, is there any chance you can record today’s talk or at least your opening comments? I’m going to be at Bach’s Messiah this afternoon.
