Broad really thinks she's doing Shakespeare out here
You mention Angela (Lela Loren) saying that to him, we had already seen her appear to him, but here you have her, Raina (Donshea Hopkins), and Kanan (50 Cent). What did you like about the idea of using that device in this episode and having Ghost confronted with, well, ghosts?
We’ve always talked about how the show is really Shakespearean. I draw from a lot of different classical references, and people aren’t usually aware of them because it looks different and it’s contemporary and, frankly, because it’s people of color. People don’t see that it’s based on Shakespeare, but if you think about this season and how it’s been about fathers and sons, mothers and sons, and familial bonds, it’s been very influenced by Shakespeare. And this is very much influenced by
Richard III. Richard kills
a lot of people, and then they come and visit him as ghosts, so this is very similar.
