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.

327: The Noble Gentlemen by John Fletcher (Epilogue)

Beyond Shakespeare ·

2024/07/19

Another Epic Epilogue, this time a short but sweet note from The Noble Gentlemen by John Fletcher and… someone. Part of what we might call the messy Beaumont and Fletcher extended collaborative universe. Fletcher worked with a lot of people, but in this case it’s possible that he died leaving the text unfinished and someone else worked from then on. The play was printed in 1647, and probably was new when licenced for performance in 1626 – but there is some disagreement on this point. But this

Welcome to another spoilerific walk through of our live streamed curio of Preist the Barber. It's a genuinely odd work which needs a lot of glossing - more than I have been able to do for this release. So, this might make more sense than the final full audio release. Because there's nothing funnier than someone laboriously explaining the jokes as they go. With Liza Graham as Preist the Barber, and Emma Kemp as Sweetball.
