343: Exploring: For His Two Young Sons by John Bale (Dialogue) 41:58

3d ago41:58

41:58

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 evangelica…

1M ago24:53

24:53

It's the full cast audio adaptation of The Conceited Pedlar by Thomas Randolph - there is a !Spoilers! episode with the full text, and this is largely the same, just with a bit more work on the audio and some trims.

A full(ish) breakdown and plain text audio of The Conceited Pedlar by Thomas Randolph, performed by Alex Scott Fairley.

1:08:17

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.

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.

4:35

Another Epic Epilogue, this time a short but sweet note from The Noble Gentlemen by John Fletcher and… someone.

This is a discussion with Professor Marion Wynne-Davies about the collection of plays and documents, published in 1996, Renaissance Drama by Women, which was co-edited with S.P. Cerasano.

15:48

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 t…
