Podcasts about all that fall

Drama On One continues its Beckett Season with All That Fall directed and produced by Barry McGovern, starring Pegg Monahan and Aidan Grennell.

Adrian Dunbar is co-curator of the Beckett Unbound Festival that takes place in various venues across Liverpool this weekend and sees him directing Beckett's radio play All That Fall in a disused reservoir in total darkness. He explains why he thinks Samuel Beckett is an incomparable writer whose appeal never fades. As two new exhibitions about Edgar Degas open at different ends of the UK, Nick looks at the importance and impact of this French Impressionist artist with Pippa Stephenson-Sit, the curator of Discovering Degas on now at the Burrell Collection in Glasgow and with Anne Robbins, the curator of Discover Degas & Miss La La, which opens at the National Gallery in London on June 6th. Anne is now curator of paintings at the Musée d'Orsay.The Biafran war, 1967 - 1970, was the first major conflict in post-colonial Africa, and when images of starving Biafran children with distended bellies began to be seen in the West, the modern humanitarian aid industry was launched. Award-winning novelist Chigozie Obioma has turned to the Biafran War for his new novel, The Road To The Country, which takes the reader to the front lines of the ferocious military confrontation.Presenter: Nick Ahad Producer: Ekene Akalawu

When Emma Lawson, the youngest lead government ethics investigator in California's capital, takes a day off to help her best friend, Kate, prepare for the opening of her new business, Rainbow Alley Preschool, the morning takes a shocking turn. The school's most high-profile enrollee--Vivian Lange, the governor's granddaughter--is kidnapped, at the same time Kate's teenage son, Luke, goes missing. Emma is quickly drawn to a web of clues that point toward sordid secrets and a cold-case murder in a shadow world of bigotry and hate. Over a desperate and harrowing forty-eight hours, Emma races against the clock to solve the most important investigation of her life. But will she be in time to bring the child to safety and to stop a calculating killer whose plan threatens all that Emma holds dear?

Shapeshifter reúne narrativas e histórias do teatro no escuro, explorando (e revelando) a forma como a ideia de escuridão é menos constante do que condicionada por contingências culturais, políticas e tecnológicas. O palco vazio, de teatro e de luz, mostra-se como máquina de aprendizagem, que absorve e reconstitui o seu próprio passado, traçando os gestos de corpos invisíveis que ainda desobedecem e desaprendem com a matéria. Neste lugar de escuta, lugar virtual que combina o palco da enunciação e o lugar que o corpo ouvinte ocupa, Shapeshifter procura resgatar os prazeres auditivos no plural e a intriga de sombra e obscuridade, abrindo, em vez de impedir, um processo de pesquisa. A autora sugere que a audição deste podcast seja feita com auscultadores e de olhos fechados.
