Fajer Kaisi of The Humans stopped by to discuss his character in this four-time Tony Award-winning play, as well as the show's focus on family, carving a real turkey carcass on stage every night, and representation in Hollywood.

We talked with Kim Wong, who plays Ophelia in Hamlet, about her Shakespeare nerdom, how to listen to The Bard's works as an audience member, and why students really shouldn't be afraid of his plays.
