  • This week it's another chat with Dr Darren Freebury-Jones about... a lot of playwrights. This chat most stays within the Elizabethan world of dramatists, inspired by Dr Jones book Sxxxxxxxxx's Borrowed Feathers, which will be available in October 2024. So there's a lot about Marlowe, Lyly, Kyd, Greene and Peele, and then we ran out of time. Our previous chat on Robert Greene is available here - https://audioboom.com/posts/7983772-discussing-robert-greene-and-alphonsus

    Dr Darren Freebury-Jones is author of the monographs: Reading Robert Greene: Recovering Shakespeare’s Rival (Routledge), Shakespeare’s Tutor: The Influence of Thomas Kyd (Manchester University Press), and Shakespeare’s Borrowed Feathers (Manchester University Press). He is Associate Editor for the first critical edition of The Collected Works of Thomas Kyd since 1901 (Boydell and Brewer). He has also investigated the boundaries of John Marston’s dramatic corpus as part of the Oxford Marston project and is General Editor for The Collected Plays of Robert Greene (Edinburgh University Press). His findings on the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries have been discussed in national newspapers such as The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Observer, and The Independent as well as BBC Radio. In 2023 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in recognition of his contributions to historical scholarship.

    SHAKESPEARE'S BORROWED FEATHERS: HOW EARLY MODERN PLAYWRIGHTS SHAPED THE WORLD'S GREATEST WRITER
    Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work.
    From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

  • This is the quick look at the epilogue to The Coxcomb by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont - originally written around 1608-12, but revised later. Whether this epilogue is from the team is unknown, this might be a later addition, as epilogues often are.
    The epilogue is performed (a few times) by Fiona Thraille - a British voice actor, narrator and audio producer who has worked in voiceover, podcasts, and who has narrated and produced over a dozen audiobooks through Audible. She is the founder and producer of Dashing Onions Audio - an audio drama podcast, was co-host and producer of the Audio Drama Production Podcast for a year, and has given lectures and presentations on aspects of audio drama podcast creation.

  • A full(ish) breakdown and plain text audio of The Conceited Pedlar by Thomas Randolph, performed by Alex Scott Fairley. It's a rough commentary by Robert Crighton, and the first cut of the audio - though Robert puts his hand up to say that this episode needs work and there's a lot more to say about some of the more confusing elements of this pedlars conceits.

  • Here's the first of two special crossover episodes with Emily C A Synder of the Hamlet to Hamilton podcast. I say two, it's actually five, but these two come as a mini set. We have been dancing through texts from the medieval up to the reign of Elizabeth on their podcast, and now we're doing the same over on ours - with the 1560's. It's a case of thinking aloud, and seeing what comes up.
    Hamlet to Hamilton: Exploring Verse Drama is an educational podcast from TURN TO FLESH PRODUCTIONS Audio Network. Teaching how to write and perform new verse drama. Hosted by Emily C. A. Snyder. Edited by Colin Kovarik.

  • March 2020, we were as a company reeling from having to cancel our first full scale live show, and had pivoted briefly to audio only live streams on YouTube. We had tried another audio platform briefly, but it had been disappointing in terms of quality.
    After a series of readings of The Wonderful Year, Robert did a live exploring session on Kemp's Nine Days Wonder. There were more to follow the week after, but by then we had started our zoom exploring sessions, and these live streams stopped.
    Till now, the audio hasn't been on any of our platforms, except possibly our patreon feed - but now it has been added to the podcast. Apart from some cuts advertising now very past future events, the recording has been left as it was recorded on the afternoon of Friday 20th March 2020.
    Will Kemp, an actor and clown, decides to hold a publicity stunt and cash in on his fame by Morris dancing all the way from London to Norwich. He wrote a pamphlet on the journey, performed live! You can follow the text at http://www.luminarium.org/renascence-editions/kemp.html.

    (We're not sure if we archived this for our patrons, but if we did they got it four and half years earlier than here. Apart from it being on YouTube. So, even if we did, it doesn't really count. That said, usually patrons get these things super early. So...)

  • Welcome to a little teaser for an approaching crossover event. Your host Robert Crighton has been moonlighting over at the Hamlet to Hamilton Podcast, and now they're coming to visit us. To prepare for our look into verse in the 1560's, we have a little teaser of this episode covering drama during the reign of Henry the Eighth.
    You can listen to the full episode, and all NINE earlier episodes of the series, by going to the Hamlet to Hamilton pod - links below. We will continue this journey in a couple of weeks.

  • Welcome to this episode of Fragments, looking at Astorildo and Carrabunculo. We recorded the audio for this as part of a test live stream session, shared only with our patrons. It went reasonably well, and so I edited the runs together into this episode here. The usual fragments run at the text is followed by the original exploring style discussion.
    Astorildo and Carrabunculo by the Unknown (Fragment)
    With Liza Graham and Robert Crighton as Corus and Racrox. Except when it's the other way round.

  • It's the third of three Dialogues by John Fisher - recorded in a secret London location with Liza Graham and Robert Crighton. As ever with these printed dialogues, there is the usual tension between the question as to whether they are dramatically interesting, or are tipped towards functioned as Socratic dialogue for reading alone. These were printed in 1558, at the end of the reign of one Queen (Mary), and the beginning of another (Elizabeth).

  • 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 epilogue is probably written for the revival of the play in 1641, putting it right at the end of our timeline.

  • Welcome to our !Spoilers! walk through of Beware the Cat by William Baldwin.
    The audio recording of our live adaptation from the Revels season is available now - but it isn't on the pod for the moment. It can be listened to by signing up for free to our Patreon. Why so? In brief, I'm planning a full production of this show for next year, so I won't be releasing the audio on the podcast as per usual so as not to give away too easily a future production. So, for now, I'm holding it back on the patreon - albeit as a free access for sign ups. There will be more on this live show to come.

    Part One can be heard here! Just sign up and listen!
    Part Two can be heard here! Just sign up and listen!

    This !Spoilers! episode features Robert Crighton as host and in the show, as well as material from our live show performed by Sarah Blake, Valentina Vinci and Alexandra Kataigida (on spoons). There are also clips from previous episodes of the pod, featuring Geir Madland, Sarah Golding, & Gillian Horgan.
