Second Chances: Shakespeare and Freud | Stephen Greenblatt in conversation with Paul Smith

In Second Chances: Shakespeare and Freud, Stephen Greenblatt and co-author Adam Phillips explore the powerful theme of second chances in life. Drawing on Shakespeare’s plays and Freud’s theories, they examine stories of transformation, renewal, and the enduring hope of redemption. In conversation with Paul Smith, Greenblatt weaves through the tales of Hamlet, The Winter’s Tale, and more, revealing how literature allows us to rehearse and understand the complexities of change, healing and the deep-seated hope for redemption despite fate and circumstance.
