Emperor Nero, who ruled Rome from 54 to 68 AD, remains one of history’s most controversial figures. Known for his love of music, poetry, and theatre, he supported the arts and banned bloodshed in the circus. He reduced taxes, gave rights to slaves, and provided aid to disaster-struck cities.

The Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD further darkened his legacy, with rumors accusing him of setting the blaze. Despite his flaws, many commoners mourned his death, showing he wasn’t hated by all. Ancient sources, written long after his death, may have exaggerated his faults. This show explores both the artist and the tyrant behind the crown

Three Telugu films recount the story of King Harischandra. KiranPrabha explores the background narratives that shaped the making of these three productions.

William Shakespeare, often called the Bard of Avon, is the greatest playwright in the English language. Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, he married Anne Hathaway at 18 and had three children. He moved to London in the late 1580s to pursue a career in theatre. Over the next two decades, he wrote 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and two long narrative poems. His works explore timeless themes of love, power, jealousy, betrayal, and ambition. Shakespeare's most famous plays include Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. He co-owned the Globe Theatre, where many of his plays were performed. His mastery of language enriched English with hundreds of new words and phrases. Shakespeare blended history, tragedy, and comedy in ways that remain unmatched. Despite his fame, much of his personal life remains a mystery. He retired to Stratford around 1613 and died in 1616 at the age of 52. Shakespeare's legacy lives on through endless adaptations on stage and screen. His characters and stories still resonate across cultures and generations. He was as much a keen observer of human nature as a creator of unforgettable drama. This talk show explores the life, love, and literary genius of the immortal William Shakespeare.
