  • 360: Exploring: Beware the Cat by William Baldwin - Part 2 (Archive LIVE Stream)
    2025/01/31
    Welcome to archived live stream exploring session for Beware the Cat by William Baldwin. It was live streamed on Robert Crighton's private YouTube channel, but not officially added to the podcast, during the opening of the 2020 plague and, beyond a few minor tweaks, remains as streamed. It's a First Look, so it's rough as such things are, and obviously we've come a long way since then.
    This second part begins midway through the First Oration of Master Streamer.
    Following our live reading in 2023, an adaptation of the book is rehearsing now, planning to tour later this year. If you'd like to be kept up to speed with developments, join the Beware the Cat mailing list.
    If you're interested in the show coming to your area, get in touch here.

    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 - it won't be released on the podcast as per usual so as not to give away too easily a future production.
    Part One can be heard here! Just sign up and listen!
    Part Two can be heard here! Just sign up and listen!

  • 355: Discussing: Travelling Players in Early Modern England
    2025/01/24
    This is a special discussing episode, recorded live as a zoom event last year.
    Travelling Players in Early Modern England: Civic Spaces and Provincial Performance was an online event on the upcoming exhibition at the Guildhall of Stratford-upon-Avon
    Featuring Dr William David Green and host Robert Crighton

    In celebration of an upcoming exhibition at the Guildhall of Stratford-upon-Avon, we discussing all things about touring theatre in early modern England (1560s through to 1622) and the use of civic buildings like guildhalls as regional theatre venues by the professional playing companies. The reasons for, and the practicalities of, taking plays on tour outside London, as well as success stories and horror stories from companies on tour.
    All this, and more, to whet your appetite for the exhibition, which will open at Stratford-upon-Avon's Guildhall in January 2025.
