What Was Abolished

Baz Luhrmann is an Australian director whose debut film, Strictly Ballroom, became one of Australia's most successful releases, and also inspired the title of the BBC's popular Saturday night dance show. He went on to direct Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, the Great Gatsby and, more recently, Elvis starring Tom Hanks and Austin Butler. Baz was born Mark Andrew Luhrmann in 1962. His friends nicknamed him Baz after the puppet Basil Brush because of his unruly hair. When he was five the family moved to Herons Creek, a remote settlement in New South Wales. Several years later Baz started ballroom dancing after he picked up a leaflet advertising classes while travelling on a bus. At drama school in Sydney he devised a play called Strictly Ballroom with his fellow students and later wrote a screenplay with his school friend Craig Pearce. The film was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1992 where it received a rapturous response and went on to win eight Australian Film Institute awards and three BAFTAs. Baz's most recent film, Elvis, tells the life of Elvis Presley from the perspective of his infamous manager Colonel Tom Parker, played by Tom Hanks. The film has been a commercial success – making almost $300 million around the world to date. In addition to making feature films Baz has directed theatre and opera productions. He lives mainly in New York with his wife and frequent collaborator, the production designer Catherine Martin, and their two children.

What Is Truth?

Joseph - A Foreshadow of a Gracious Messiah

There is a deep kindness that emanates from Craig Pearce that you feel the moment you meet him. The founder of beloved custom furniture company Union Wood Co. also recently launched a new product brand Goodland, which are objects for a slow, considered life. His family moved from Toronto to Vancouver when he was five-years-old - his father was in banking and was relocated. As a kid, Craig grew up in West Vancouver skateboarding and snowboarding - and he was creative even back then, a trait he inherited from his mom. Craig began his road to becoming a firefighter after a pivotal moment on a trip to New Zealand in his early 20s - something he still does full-time. Founding Union Wood Co. in 2009 came by organically, after a stint living in Big White, Kelowna, as a volunteer firefighter, while doing carpentry on the side.       In this conversation, we discuss how he expressed his creativity through drawing as a kid; his journey to becoming a firefighter for the past 16-plus years and his love for his second family at the firehall; why he loves building things with his hands and how he's entirely self-taught; the ins and outs of scaling his businesses; the immersive design & production process of his team at Union Wood Co.; how the slow down of the pandemic sparked the idea for Goodland and the product launching soon (a wood fired hot tub); what he loves about his wife Kendra; why moving half as fast means you notice twice as much; and more.

This week on Total Movie Recall, it's Steve's turn to not get it when Ryan forces him to snooze this way through the 1997 hambone, The Devil's Advocate.

Blotting Out the Decree

This week the Roundtablers look to The Great Gatsby, the 1925 novel of disillusionment in love by F. Scott Fitzgerald, to find out why the story endures. The team also examines the 2013 film adaptation directed by Baz Luhrmann from a screenplay by Luhrmann and Craig Pearce.Each week one of the Roundtable team—Valerie Francis, Kim Kessler, or Leslie Watts—aims to get to the bottom of a specific story principle by analyzing a film, novel, or short story. The rest of us analyze the story according to our own chosen topics, and together we deepen our knowledge and level up our craft.Click here for the full show notes.

Director/Executive Producer Shekhar Kapur returns to the podcast to discuss the Will finale with host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce, and to explain why he believes that if Shakespeare were to write a play about his life today, it would be similar to TNT's Will. The trio provide insight into Topcliffe's real-life undoing, how the fundamentalist natures of Robert Southwell and Topcliffe mirror the evil in today's society, the price of genius, and what it took to balance the series' political thriller angle with the personal love story between Will and Alice. Plus, they give background on the incredible cast whose amazing performances brought the series to life.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce explore the Elizabethan philosophy of "live fast, die young, and leave a pox-ridden corpse," and how it's the same force that drives any third world country or poverty stricken area today; the need to accomplish and do things "now" because there might not be a tomorrow! Craig shares the six-week trip to India that inspired his writing on Will, and also provides a detailed, behind-the-scenes look at the 5 acre backlot at the studio in Wales that became the show's muddy streets of London. You'll also discover more details about Will's set design, and the full scale theater interior built for Shakespeare's company.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the ramifications of what it meant for William Shakespeare to write a political play in his time, and how he achieved that without punishment. They examine the Elizabethan torture mentality on the grounds of religion and how it relates to today's modern society and political climate. And they reveal that the collaboration between Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare was not as unusual as it seemed since one third of all Elizabethan plays were collaborations. Plus, Craig talks about the significance of the episode's title "A Plague on Both Your Houses," and how he employed a very Shakespearean plot device in the writing of this specific episode.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the real theater blaze that inspired the opening scene of the episode, and the importance of wealthy theater patrons in those days. They also provide a more detailed look at Burbage and explain why he was such a theater visionary during that time period. They talk about Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus," and how it was likely inspired by his own life and experiences as an atheist and gay man unable to live openly with his lover. And they draw parallels between the people of Elizabethan times living on the cusp of change just like today's modern society.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the rock & roll lifestyle of the theater, the real riots that often erupted around the theater, and the roles of the apprentices. They discuss the influence of the Punk Rock movement of the 70s in London on this specific episode, and how both the music and the dress trends of 70s London were blended with Elizabethan dress trends to create what viewers see and hear in Will. Plus, they reveal the mysterious "dark lady" to whom Shakespeare was thought to have written over half of his sonnets.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the importance of humanizing Topcliffe, and his inability to connect with people. They also look at Will, the family man, with the arrival of his wife and children in this episode, and Will's struggle to do the right thing by his family while pursuing his own dream. And they reveal the root of Christopher Marlowe's fascination with death, and the impact it had on his life and writing.

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the real Topcliffe who lived in Elizabethan times, and served as the Queen's Chief Persecutor of Catholics. They address the real torture chamber that existed in Topcliffe's mansion, and the reason why there is virtually no recorded history of Topcliffe save a handful of very chatty letters to the Queen. Craig also reveals his inspiration for the Alice Burbage character in the series and her love affair with Will, and addresses the surprise episode ending that has Will fighting against himself.

We review the first two episodes with New York Times best-selling novelist Christopher Moore, whose terrific comic novels include such Shakespearean imaginings as Fool and its sequel The Serpent of Venice. We chat with Chris about the series' first two episodes and marvel at such conceits as authors as rock stars, television by committee, shiny sparkly dancey bits, finding your feet, and our shared feeling that historical accuracy is definitely not, thankfully, a necessity. (When you're done listening here, go over to the Folger Shakespeare Library to hear a conversation with Will's producers and creators, writer Craig Pearce and director Shekhar Kapur, on the Folger's Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.)

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce and Director/Executive Producer Shekhar Kapur provide background and insight into the introduction of Shakespeare's cousin, Robert Southwell and his role in Shakespeare's life, and explain how the printing press became the "social media" of Shakespeare's day. They also reveal that while Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers of all time, he was also one of the greatest thieves!

'Will,' the new series on TNT, tells stories derived from what we often call Shakespeare’s “lost years”—the time before he made a name for himself as a writer. The series takes advantage of that gaping hole in Shakespeare’s biography to weave an intricate and exciting tale of art, strife, death, love, poetry, and violence in Elizabethan England. Executive producer/writer Craig Pearce and executive producer/director Shekhar Kapur tell us about adapting Shakespeare's biography—or lack thereof—into a new television show with a punk rock aesthetic. Pearce and Kapur are interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published July 12, 2017. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved.
