This week we welcome back to the show Susan Wands, author of the Arcana Oracle Series. We're looking at the extraordinary lives of Florence Farr and Ellen Terry, two incredible women who broke all the rules of Victorian society. Divorce! Affairs! Illegitimate children! And best of all—careers! Ellen was an incredibly successful actress, and Florence was an artist and theater producer who became a high-ranking magician and head of the Golden Dawn. Not only did women like Ellen and Florence exist, but their lives were stranger (and better!) than fiction. We also discuss the possibility that Florence and Ellen inspired Pamela Colman Smith's High Priestess and Empress tarot cards. Susan's new book is High Priestess and Empress, and it's out May 14th.

"no graveyard grimness"

1900 – El dramaturgo irlandés, George Bernard Shaw, tremendamente influyente no sólo en la esfera literaria, sino también política de su época, estrenará una de sus más de 60 obras, a partir de una carta que recibe de su amiga, la actriz inglesa, Ellen Terry. En la voz, Bárbara Espejo.

Ellen Terry was the most celebrated actress of her age. Starting as a child actress in the late 1800s Ellen went on to steal the limelight in dozens of theatre productions in the UK and America. Terry was a leading lady for over 30 years but her private life was almost as colourful as her professional one. In this episode we explore the remarkable life of one of Britain's first celebrities - unlucky in love but adored by the masses.

La actriz Ellen Terry escribe una carta a George Bernard Shaw, lamentándose por el paso del tiempo y cómo el mismo afectó su carrera ¿Qué historia encierra el famoso tema “Hey Jude” de Los Beatles? ¿Y la canción “Take this waltz” de Leonard Cohen? ¿Quién fue el primer escritor en utilizar en sus libros la tan actual palabra “Meme”? ¿Qué hay de cierto sobre la fatalidad que se cuenta sobre la vida de Samuel Beckett? María Esther de Miguel, Harold Pinter, Federico García Lorca, Alfonsina Storni, August Strindberg, Roberto Arlt y Pablo Neruda nos regalan sus palabras a través de las voces de nuestros locutores . Nos detenemos a pensar las letras de las canciones de artistas como Lisa Germano, Pink, Charly García y Silvio Rodríguez, entre otros. Y como siempre, escuchamos las voces de nuestros oyentes quienes nos acercan sus propios textos o aquellos que escogieron de otros, para seguir creando este infinito collage sonoro de lecturas compartidas. POESIA 1110: Un espacio para pensar y resonar el acto poético en todas sus formas; la poesía de todas las cosas.

This drama, set in Ancient Greece, was written by a Victorian lawyer who was a close friend of Charles Dickens. When collected into book format, “The Pickwick Papers” was dedicated to him. As a Member of Parliament, Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd introduced legislation protecting the copyrights of authors. This play was originally printed only to be read as poetry. However, it attracted the attention of William Macready, who mounted a successful production of it at Covent Garden in 1836. The drama became a much bigger hit a few years later, though, when it was revived with actress Ellen Terry taking over the part of the tragic hero, Ion. Charlotte Cushman and other leading ladies of the day took advantage of the craze for “breeches roles” and donned togas to play this doomed young Grecian noble.

"tidings of comfort and joy"

Tony Cownie's Letter to the Lyceum evokes the spirit of the theatre's resident ghost, Ellen Terry. Read by Lesley Hart. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When a mother is internationally famous, it’s hard for a child, especially for a daughter, to step outside her mother’s shadow. And that’s why, really, it’s impossible to separate Ellen Terry, the most beloved actress of the late nineteenth century—the Meryl Streep of her day—from her daughter, Edith Craig. Edy (as she was always known) was an accomplished theatre producer, and activist for women’s suffrage—plus a member of the most famous lesbian threesomes of the early twentieth century.

Joseph O’Connor, whose book Star of the Sea was critically acclaimed and a global bestseller, talks about his latest novel Shadowplay. Taking the well-known presumption that Bram Stoker based the character of Dracula on the Shakespearean actor Henry Irving, Shadowplay is about the close collaboration and intense friendship between Stoker, Irving and his famous acting partner Ellen Terry. Portuguese-born artist Dame Paula Rego's work across paint, pastel, etching and fabric is often based on children's folktales. But the animals and people that populate her work convey tough political messages. A new exhibition at the recently extended and remodelled MK gallery in Milton Keynes offers an edited retrospective of the 84 year old artist's substantial body of work. Art critic Louisa Buck reviews. Pauline Kael was a film critic renowned for her personal writing style that combined scathing wit and passion. In the week she would have turned 100, film critics Tim Robey and Gavia Baker Whitelaw consider her work, what makes a perfect review and the role of the critic in the digital age.

11 November 2018 Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Mark 12:38-44 + Homily 17 Minutes 7 Seconds Link to the Readings - USA Version http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/111118.cfm (from the parish bulletin)    Pier 54 on the Hudson River is a short walk from our church. On display are pictures of the Titanic and the Lusitania, which is not encouraging for public relations. The Titanic was supposed to berth there, but instead the Carpathia arrived with surviving passengers. Seven years before, my grandmother had sailed on the Carpathia.     The sinking of the Lusitania by a German U-boat brought the United States into the Great War. Film footage shows passengers arriving at Pier 54 to embark on May 1, 1915. Of the 1,962 passengers and crew on the Lusitania’s manifest, 1,198 died. Toscanini had planned to be on board, but took an earlier ship after bad reviews of his performance of Carmen. Jerome Kern missed the ship when his alarm clock failed—otherwise, we’d not have “Ol’ Man River” and “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.” The dancer Isadora Duncan cancelled her ticket to save money, and the actress Ellen Terry backed off because of war jitters.     One casualty of the Lusitania sinking was Father Basil Maturin, Catholic chaplain at Oxford University, returning from a lecture tour. He spurned a lifeboat and gave away his life jacket. That was reminiscent of Monsignor John Chadwick, later pastor of the Church of Saint Agnes here in Manhattan, who barely survived the sinking of the Maine which incited the Spanish-American War. The monsignor was hailed as a hero by the sailors he saved.    If his chauffeur had not taken a wrong turn on the streets of Sarajevo in 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand might not have been assassinated, and the domino effect of national alliances would have not brought on the collapse of empires. At the Somme, more than one million troops were killed or wounded, and the war’s total casualties were 37.5 million dead or wounded. One year after the war, there was only one man between the ages of 18 and 30 for every 15 women. Each town and school in Britain has memorials to those lost. Both of my own grandmother’s brothers were killed in Ypres, and that was considered the norm. The United States lost 116,000 men with over 200,000 wounded. Europe has never really recovered. Military strategists were not prepared for modernized combat, and it has been said that the armies were lions led by donkeys. In a macabre way, the chief winners of that cultural suicide were Lenin and Hitler.    Today is the one-hundredth anniversary of the Armistice signaled by a bugle at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year. The poet Siegfried Sassoon, decorated for bravery, was latterly put in a psychiatric ward for begging an end to the killing. He became a Catholic and is buried near the grave of Monsignor Ronald Knox whom he admired. In tribute to one of his fallen comrades, he wrote: I know that he is lost among the stars, And may return no more but in their light.

Four centuries after the death of Shakespeare, five young scholars share new evaluations of his work - in a series of essays recorded in front of an audience in Shakespeare's old classroom at the Guildhall in Stratford-upon-Avon. 1.Sophie Duncan on Shakespeare and the SuffragettesSophie Duncan reveals how Shakespeare's heroines helped transform Victorian schoolgirls into Edwardian activists.The 19th century actress Ellen Terry told the suffragettes that they had more in common with Shakespeare's female characters than with the fragile, domestic ladies of Victorian novels. Sohie Duncan's new research starts with the unanticipated results of a competition run in The Girls' Own Paper in 1888 to find its readers' favourite Shakespearean heroine. It moves into more conventional scholarly territory with an analysis of a Suffragist-led production of The Winter's Tale in 1914, and its impact on English Suffragettes as a depiction of violence against women and the transformative power of female friendship.Sophie Duncan is Calleva Post-Doctoral Researcher at Magdalen College, OxfordBBC Radio 3 marks the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare with a season celebrating the four centuries of music and performance that his plays and sonnets have inspired.

At 97, the actress Gwen Ffrangcon-Davies reflects with interest on the prospect of being castaway and, in conversation with Sue Lawley, looks back over her long career. With a head well-stocked with music - and ringing with Shakespeare - she is determined to survive. But she isn't proposing to be castaway for long. She's already plotting a plan of escape. In the meantime, she looks back on her long and fascinating career in the theatre, which began with advice from Ellen Terry, took her into the Gaiety Chorus (at the back) and eventually, after success in The Immortal Hour, to some of the great Shakespearian roles.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Liebestod (from Tristan and Isolde) by Richard Wagner Luxury: Large bottle of toilet water
