🚨12 April🚨 📖The Book of Sir Thomas More: 🧩Piece by Piece🧩 A deep dive into the play written by Anthony Munday before a pile on of hands started. A full performance of the text, panels on how it came into being, and a session of Tudor Interlude Bingo! #drama www.ticketsource.co.uk/beyondshakes...

🔊It's fragment time! And this time it's more of a fragment of time, of a moment, rather than a scripted element of drama. It's a thing that happened in a play which mentions some Saxons at some point that led to some heckling... #drama #audio #fragments audioboom.com/posts/882200...

🚨And we're back - yes, next week we return to the exploring session zoom room for a dance to the music of early modern drama. Reading plays across several sessions: with discussion, chat, drama, and more. Come and join in - open to all. #joinUs #JoinIn #Explorings forms.gle/vTGxSy33C7zD...

⚔️Meanwhile, over in the realm of videos, we have our latest exploring session releases. This week it's Dick of Devonshire - which is a slightly harder text to enjoy than we wanted (do read the CW) but is fascinating as a work based on a first person account of events. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

💘The Hunting of Cupid by George Peele survives as only a few fragments. We put them together to produce this little tone poem. Cupid is coming for you, and it might hurt. Rather a lot actually. Love is a prick, a sting, it is a pretty, pretty thing. #theatre #drama audioboom.com/posts/750506...

🔥We're a couple of days away from our Dido drop - the final edit of our Winter Revels live show from 2023. Our live shows of Doctor Faustus A and B have a rough mix on the patreon, and will follow at some point. Till then, here's a playlist of our Marlowe work so far. audioboom.com/playlists/46...

In a similar way we dug into the tale of ♟️A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton♟️ Luckily, if you missed it, the whole thing was recorded for the podcast! audioboom.com/playlists/46...

Some fun things about The Book of Sir Thomas More, which the internet has been talking about of late. 74% of the surviving text is written by Anthony Munday. Literally. He might have worked on it with someone else, say Chettle, but he LITERALLY wrote it out. Then the text had some rewrites...

Good piece on the arts and television by John Wyver @illuminations.bsky.social. The virtual disappearance of the arts from our national BBC TV screens is a disaster for the arts generally and also for civic discourse. We’ve also lost local and regional BBC and independent TV coverage of the arts.

🔊Exclusive exploring read through over on the patreon feed - it's our slow burn working out of the extended Mirror for Magistrates Universe. We're into the prequel phase, where the franchise desperately hunts for more history to eat. Locrinus' family have a bad day.🌊 www.patreon.com/posts/higgin...

🔊Our epic crossover event with the Hamlet to Hamilton podcast has... well not concluded, but reached the end of the 1570's... and here we'll pause.
