Matt, Mandy, and Christina talk about literature remixes. What is a literature remix? Take a well-known and beloved story - a Shakespeare play, a Jane Austen novel, fairy tale - and retell the story in a whole new setting. What makes a good literature remix? What makes a bad one? And what is it about some classic stories that compel us to keep remixing and retelling them over and over?
