Beyond Shakespeare

Beyond Shakespeare

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.

There isn't a particularly helpful title for this dialogue, it's very long - so this is a compromise of "A dialogue or communication to be had at a table between two children, gathered out of the holy scriptures, by John Bale, for his two young sons, John and Paul." It's not a particularly dramatic dialogue, but it fits in with the other evangelical texts we've been exploring.With Liza Graham and Robert Crighton - a full uninterupted recording of the text will follow.
