My favourite piece was called Shakespeare in Iceland by Jane Smiley in which she explains how she came to write a novel based on King Lear. Rather disappointingly rather too many pieces were mildly uninteresting, though, I found eg a piece about Shakespeare as a forerunner of modern (early 20th century) Americanisms in speech. Note also a focus on just a few works - those already mentioned plus Julius Caesar, plus occasional mention of a midsummer night's dream
Recommended, then, but with the proviso that you may find, like me, some items are best sampled then skipped.
