She joins Tom to discuss this cycle of forgetting and what we can learn from the women who held their own alongside Plato, Descartes and Hume.Find Sophie's piece and further reading on the episode page: https://lrb.me/sophiesmithpodFind out more about Pace Gallery's upcoming exhibitions here: https://www.pacegallery.com/exhibitions/Find out more about Coram Boy at Chichister Festival Theatre here: https://www.cft.org.uk/events/coram-boy Hosted on Acast.

Jamila Gavin was born in the foothills of the Himalayas; her Indian father and English mother met as teachers in Iran and married in Mumbai. By the age of 12, she'd lived in an Indian palace in the Punjab, a bungalow in Poona - and a terraced house in Ealing, west London. Ealing was where the family settled in 1953; Jamila went on to study at London's Trinity College of Music, and to become a sound engineer and then a director in television. She didn't start to write until her late thirties, beginning a career distinguished by many awards for her novels, plays and short stories – around 50 books in all. It's a rich world of myths and fairy-tales, orphans and adventures, ranging from 15th-century Venice to the mountains of India. She's best known for Coram Boy, her prize-winning novel, later staged at the National Theatre, about the Foundling Hospital – to which Handel gave the royalties from his Messiah. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Jamila Gavin reveals the shocking story, which inspired her to write her first book for children. Her books deal with serious themes: particularly slavery, both historic slavery and people-trafficking now. Reading them, you can forget that these are children's books; but, she says, any experiences which children suffer should also be experiences they can read about. Jamila Gavin's playlist includes Handel's Messiah, Tippett's A Child of Our Time, Schubert, Brahms, Stockhausen - and her favourite Night Raga.

Melly Still is a theatre and opera director whose work has been described as inventive, ambitious and magical. She stages the unstageable - mermaids, angels animals, underwater realms - putting whole worlds of myth and magic into the theatre or opera house. She came to fame 10 years ago with Coram Boy at the National - the play about Handel, his Messiah and the Foundling Hospital. Since then she's directed at the Proms and Glyndebourne, and her new production of Cymbeline for the RSC opens later this month. And music is central to her private life too, with two pianists and a DJ in her family. She chooses music by Dvorak, Janacek and Wagner associated with her theatre and opera productions, jazz performed by her partner, and tantalizing music performed on instruments made of ice. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3.

Two-time Tony nominee Jan Maxwell talks about whether she's been influenced by Carole Lombard and Anne Bancroft, her film predecessors as the leading ladies of "To Be or Not To Be", as well as the difficulty of working in a new play when the author was on the other side of the ocean. She also relates a tale of how she managed her first visit to New York under the guise of a youth mission trip; her multiple experiences coming into shows with relatively little preparation, including "A Doll's House" and "The Dinner Party", and Neil Simon's withering assessment of her work at an early preview of the latter; literally getting lost backstage at City Center while running between the theatre's for Alan Ayckbourn's "House and Garden"; why she thinks she's being typecast as a child tormentor in such shows as "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Coram Boy"; her deep affinity for the work of playwright Howard Barker, and why we shouldn't expect to see her collaborating with her brother, noted downtown theatre artist Richard Maxwell, anytime soon. Original air date - November 7, 2008.
