このコンテンツについて

From the earliest drama in English, to the closing of the theatres in 1642, there was a hell of a lot of drama produced - and a lot of it wasn't by Shakespeare. Apart from a few noble exceptions these plays are often passed over, ignored or simply unknown. This podcast presents full audio productions of the plays, fragmentary and extant, that shaped the theatrical world that shaped our dramatic history.

  • 378: Entertaining Henry (Live Show Updates)
    2025/06/16
    It'll be a bit quiet on the pod this week, as we're doing some live shows - tickets available below - but we thought we should update you on some of the online options for our patrons, which you might want to go for. We're doing a basic live stream of rehearsal runs from Tuesday this week, around 3pm each day - become a patron and grab the link. Otherwise, more on this next week when it's all over.

    Entertaining Henry is a co-production with The Quay Theatre and Beyond Shakespeare...
    Let us take you through a whistle-stop tour of the entertainment world from Henry’s reign: from his youthful days to his more fractious later life, we will share the history of his reign through the plays he and his subjects enjoyed.
    Play along with our Tudor Bingo Card, catch the pop-up merry tales, and enjoy entertainments fit for a king!
    Friday 20th June at 7.30pm
    Show 1 - Welcome to Henry’s Court! (1509 to 1520's)
    We welcome you to the Court of the newly-crowned King Henry! Let us introduce you to all the major players on and off stage, the rules of the court, and perform some of the earliest plays to survive from his reign – plays designed to curb Henry’s boisterous ways. https://quaysudbury.com/events/entertaining-henry-show-1-welcome-to-henrys-court/
    Saturday 21st June at 7.30pm
    Show 2 - Reformation: More vs Cromwell (1520’s to 1530’s)
    As the Reformation hit England, different factions created dramas around the political rifts at court. The literary set that orbited Thomas More presented traditional debate on one side, whilst the rising star of Thomas Cromwell commissioned his players to write revelations on the other. https://quaysudbury.com/events/entertaining-henry-show-2-reformation-more-vs-cromwell/
    Sunday 22nd June at 7.30pm
    Show 3 - Snail Fight! And Other Tudor Shenanigans (1530’s to 1547)
    We close our festival with some of the sillier plays from the end of Henry’s reign – featuring a sword fight with a snail, an ecclesiastical bust up in a church, and the epic conquest of the monster Tediousness!

  • 377: Discussing: Snail Fight! with Prof. Liz Oakley-Brown
    2025/06/13
    Professor Liz Oakley-Brown returns to the pod to discuss the play Thersites (c.1537) attributed to Nicholas Udall and based on a dialogue by from Joannes Ravisius Textor - the play features a snail fight, and much more - part of our build up to our season of Henrician drama. This episode was recorded live on zoom on Tuesday 10th June at 7.15pm 2025. For more on the medieval manuscript side of things - over on BBC Sounds (where available) is Knight Fights Giant Snail. We reference Marie Axton's Three Tudor Classical Interludes which is the only modern edition of the play that we are aware of. We will be staging Thersites live on Sunday 22nd June 2025 at the Quay Theatre - tickets for the show are available here. But if that's not possible we have two exploring sessions online - a vanilla First Look, and a super charged Second Look. CW: We keep this fairly Universal, but towards the end we do discuss a death.

  • 376: !Spoilers! Dido, Queen of Carthage by Christopher Marlowe (Act 2)
    2025/06/06
    It's time for some !Spoilers! for Act Two of Dido, Queen of Carthage by Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Nashe (discuss attribution with footnotes, please only write on one side of the paper at a time). The play was recorded at The White Bear Theatre on Tuesday 12th December 2023.
    If you’d like more on this play, there are exploring sessions galore on the YouTube.
    All our rehearsals, dress run, and rough live mix are on the patreon feed from £5 tier or above.
    The full cast audio adaptation edit of this will follow later in the year. The recording used throughout this episode is a live mix of the performed play – it’s clearer than the first rough mix and focuses on the text as writ. The final release will be cleaner and a more entertaining listen.
    Sojourner Hazelwood-Connell – Dido
    Kit McGuire – Aeneas
    Karim Kronfli - Iarbus
    Alex Kapila - Anna
    Pamela Flanagan - Ascanius
    Lynsey Beauchamp - Ilioneus
    Sarah Blake - Venus
    Keith Hill - Achates
    Alexandra Kataigida - Cloanthus
    Emma Kemp - Cupid
    Simon Nader - Sergestus
    The host was Robert Crighton.

    CW: Discussion of war trauma, deaths, and graphic descriptions of injury detail.

    Our patrons received this episode a month in April 2025 - over two months in advance.
