We are delighted to have McKelle George swing by to chat about her debut novel, SPEAK EASY, SPEAK LOVE.
McKelle, what was your inspiration for writing SPEAK EASY, SPEAK LOVE?
I hated Shakespeare when I was a teen, but when I was in college, I was required to take a Shakespeare course if I wanted to do a study abroad in the UK. I had a really great professor who emphasized the various ways Shakespeare can be interpreted . . . and then when I went to the UK, I got splattered with stage blood from the RSC production of Titus Andronicus and had Sebastian wring out his codpiece right by my head at a Globe production of The Tempest. We saw about seven plays and I was in love—both with the source material, but also the way people were experimenting with it.
Much Ado About Nothing is my favorite Shakespeare play, and was the only one I liked even when I hated Shakespeare. It’s a sneakily feminist play, and I wanted to set it in the 1920s because it’s such a uniquely feminist time.
