Episode 063: Dancing at Lughnasa by Brian Friel Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Josie Rourke Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Brian Friel's magical memory play Dancing at Lughnasa is set at the time of the harvest festival in rural Ireland in 1936. It's account of the events of that summer in the house of the five unmarried Mundy sisters is filtered many years later through the memory of Michael, the son of the youngest sister. His memory is undoubtedly unreliable, but it is also funny, poetic and profoundly poignant. Josie Rourke, who directs the gorgeous new production of the play currently playing at the National Theatre in London, joins us to explore Friel's spellbinding masterpiece.

VIDEO: Maria regina di Scozia. Trailer italiano ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w7kMB9BVIQTESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5524FILM SU MARIA STUARDA, LA REGINA DI SCOZIA DECAPITATA DA ELISABETTA PERCHE' CATTOLICA di Paolo GulisanoIeri è arrivato nei cinema italiani Maria regina di Scozia, un film diretto da Josie Rourke, con protagoniste Saoirse Ronan e Margot Robbie. La pellicola biografica è l'adattamento cinematografico della biografia My Heart Is My Own: The Life of Mary Queen of Scots scritta da John Guy. Il film narra le vicende di Maria Stuarda (8 dicembre 1542 - 8 febbraio 1587), regina di Scozia a sei giorni dalla nascita, regina di Francia per matrimonio a soli 16 anni e vedova a 18. Tornata nella nativa Scozia, nel frattempo divenuta un paese protestante, si scontra con i suoi lord ribelli guidati dal fanatico calvinista John Knox e infine deve scontrarsi con la cugina Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra, che nel frattempo aveva usurpato il trono inglese.Prima del cinema, l'arte si è già occupata della figura tragica della regina scozzese. Basti pensare al celebre dramma di Schiller. La pellicola della regista cattolica inglese Josie Rourke ha il merito di mostrare quella che non fu semplicemente una sfida tra due donne dalle straordinarie qualità come Maria ed Elisabetta, ma un vero scontro epocale tra due Paesi da sempre nemici, ma soprattutto uno scontro di religione. Una vera e propria guerra contro il Cattolicesimo. Si tratta di una storia non solo dimenticata, ma decisamente rimossa.Elisabetta, salita al trono d'Inghilterra, era decisa a togliere di mezzo quella rivale di fede cattolica che poteva vantare più diritti di lei a regnare su tutta l'isola britannica. Elisabetta tuttavia voleva non solo fagocitare la Scozia, da secoli sogno proibito dei Reali inglesi, ma principalmente sradicare il Cattolicesimo da quella nazione, così come dall'Inghilterra stessa e dall'Irlanda. Già suo padre, Enrico VIII, aveva favorito lo sviluppo tra gli scozzesi di una fazione filo-protestante e filo-inglese, che iniziò a ordire complotti contro il re e contro la Chiesa, in particolare contro uomini come il cardinale David Beaton, grande ecclesiastico e patriota. Come aveva notato Chesterton, il clero cattolico di Scozia aveva a cuore, oltre che il lavoro per la messe di Dio, anche il bene della nazione. L'Inghilterra finanziò bande di criminali, ubriachi, balordi, studenti falliti come lo stesso John Knox, per seminare disordini e paure nel Paese.Il giovane re di Scozia Giacomo V Stuart si rifiutò di seguire gli inviti di Enrico a lasciare la Chiesa e a seguire la sua riforma rivoluzionaria. Anzi, unendosi in matrimonio a Maria di Guisa rafforzò i legami con la Francia. Visto quindi il fallimento di ogni tentativo di condizionamento del sovrano scozzese, e temendo una ventilata crociata contro di lui da parte dei regni cattolici, guidata dallo stesso Giacomo, Enrico VIII ricorse alla forza. Nell'agosto del 1542 le sue truppe invasero la Scozia senza neppure la dichiarazione di guerra. Gli scozzesi subirono una pesante sconfitta, ma mentre il re giaceva agonizzante, fu raggiunto dalla notizia che nel palazzo di Linlithgow sua moglie aveva dato alla luce l'unico suo erede al trono, una bambina cui venne dato il nome di Mary.La principessa rappresentava le ultime speranze della Scozia, e fu affidata alle cure e alla protezione del cardinale Beaton, arcivescovo di Saint Andrews e primate di Scozia. Tuttavia la Chiesa e la nazione erano ormai alla mercé degli inglesi, che fecero in modo di inviare oro a profusione a tutti coloro che collaborassero alla diffusione della Riforma e delle nuove idee politiche. La Scozia, nonostante la sua lontananza geografica dal centro della cristianità, era stata per secoli una delle figlie predilette di Roma, tanto da meritarsi il titolo di Specialis Filia Romanae Ecclesiae, "figlia particolare della Chiesa Romana". Un titolo del quale i fedeli scozzesi erano sempre andati fieri. Il sedicesimo secolo trovò tuttavia il clero e i laici sorpresi e impreparati agli sconvolgimenti di quei tempi: la Chiesa, che conservava ancora felicemente le sue caratteristiche medioevali, fu letteralmente spazzata via, sradicata dal Paese senza quasi lasciare traccia: le gerarchie scomparvero, i fedeli rimasti furono dispersi, la Scozia rimase isolata rispetto alla vita cattolica del continente.In pochi anni la Riforma era penetrata in Scozia e aveva assunto il volto violento, iconoclasta e sterminatore del calvinismo di Knox. Il governo inglese aveva ospitato e in seguito sovvenzionato quest'uomo animato da un utopismo rancoroso, il quale aspirava a realizzare una comunità di perfetti, che detestava ferocemente ogni manifestazione dell'Incarnazione di Dio, a cominciare dall'Eucaristia, che incitava instancabilmente a profanare. Odiava la Messa, che riteneva "un rito superstizioso e blasfemo"; odiava ogni visibile realizzazione della carità. I suoi seguaci in pochi anni rasero al suolo tutti i monasteri e le più insigni chiese e cattedrali. Quella bellezza di armonie e di forme che aveva ingentilito il severo panorama nordico della Scozia fu ridotta in rovine.L'ultimo baluardo contro l'avanzare del regime del terrore era dunque la giovane principessa Mary, colei che nella forma italianizzata passò alla storia come Maria Stuarda. Gli uomini rimasti fedeli alla Casa degli Stuart la inviarono in Francia, mentre il governo veniva affidato a una reggenza. Maria visse una serena fanciullezza in Francia, sposò ancora giovane il Delfino, ossia l'erede al trono francese, e altrettanto giovane rimase vedova, quando un disgraziato incidente la privò del giovanissimo sposo, il sedicenne Francesco II. A questo punto, a 23 anni, Maria fece ritorno nella sua terra, a rivendicare il suo giusto diritto. La sua vicenda da questo punto si svolge in uno scenario di passione e tragedia: Maria era sbarcata a Edimburgo cosciente del ruolo a cui era chiamata, per il quale era nata ed era stata allevata. I suoi princìpi, conformi al sistema di valori in cui erano stati concepiti, basati sulla lealtà e la fedeltà, si scontrarono con la società nuova che si andava formando, selvaggia e crudele come non lo era mai stata in passato.La giovane regina attirò l'odio del vecchio Knox, che vide in lei la meretrice di Babilonia, al pari della Chiesa di Roma, da immolare perché potesse finalmente imporsi il nuovo ordine. Maria dovette affrontare un evento penosissimo quanto solo una guerra civile può esserlo: buona parte del Paese, della nobiltà e del popolo, vinse la paura e combatté al suo fianco. Accanto ai riformatori c'erano invece i nuovi "alleati" inglesi, certi che il prevalere del protestantesimo avrebbe finito per agevolare la progressiva anglicizzazione della Scozia e il suo spostamento nella sfera di influenza politica di Londra. Considerando il crollo del Cattolicesimo in Scozia, è certamente interessante notare quello che lo storico cattolico scozzese Compton MacKenzie ebbe a scrivere, individuando come il maggior peccato del clero cattolico del XVI secolo fosse stato la perdita di considerazione del sacramento della Messa. «La giustizia di Dio alla fine li privò di quello che non avevano sufficientemente stimato».Il Protestantesimo si diffuse grazie a una ondata emotiva, quella energia che nella Chiesa si era andata attenuando. Alla fine, dopo anni di lotte interne e contro le aggressioni inglesi, questa donna fiera e allo stesso tempo fragile, che aveva avuto un matrimonio infelice e aveva visto poi il suo sposo assassinato da una congiura, venne sconfitta in battaglia e portata prigioniera in Inghilterra. «Non dimenticatevi della sposa afflitta», era una scritta che era campeggiata sui suoi stendardi di guerra. Dopo la sconfitta molti fallirono e caddero nell'apostasia, ma altrettanti conservarono la memoria della Chiesa di Cristo afflitta, della terra sofferente, della libertà minacciata, e di una giovane umanissima regina.Gli inglesi decapitarono la regina di Scozia, dopo averla tenuta prigioniera per anni, l'8 febbraio 1587. Si trattò di un gesto crudele, indebitamente estraneo al diritto internazionale. La vita di Maria era stata intensa e in gran parte infelice. Le era toccato in sorte il fallimento politico e l'infelicità affettiva, provocata da un matrimonio sbagliato e da un amore difficile con un suo fedelissimo vassallo, il conte di Bothwell. Forse Maria non era stata quella che canonicamente si definisce una santa, tuttavia aveva sacrificato la propria vita per il bene del suo popolo e della Chiesa, affrontando tradimenti, intrighi di corte, minacce, guerre.Prima di salire al patibolo, lasciò questa preghiera, testimonianza di una fede intensa e appassionata: O Domine Deus, speravi in Te, O care mi Jesu, nunc libera me. In dura catena, in misera poena, desidero Te! Languendo, dolendo, et genuflectendo, adoro, imploro, ut liberes me. Durante l'orazione funebre per la regina uccisa, l'arcivescovo di Bourges disse che la sola colpa di Maria, per la quale era stata condannata, era stata di essere cattolica. Con Maria sconfitta e assassinata, si aprì per la Scozia l'ora più oscura della sua storia.Nota di BastaBugie: siamo andati a vedere il film, ma non ci è piaciuto perché infarcito di femminismo, multiculturalismo e gender. Peccato perché la storia è stata comunque rispettata abbastanza, addirittura Maria Stuarda appare come la buona (quale era, ma quando si parla dei cattolici, in genere, il cinema ne fa a pezzi la figura). In tanti dettagli si vede l'accurata ricostruzione storica, giusto per fare un esempio nella scena finale quando Maria viene decapitata e si presenta vestita di rosso a simboleggiare quello che stava subendo come un martirio (cosa del resto vera visto che era uccisa per la sua fede cattolica). Ma purtroppo i difetti del film, cancellano anche stavolta la possibilità di avere un bel film storico veritiero.

Regeln sind da, um gebrochen zu werden. Frei nach diesem Prinzip wenden wir in unserer dreizehnten Episode ein wenig vom klassischen Film ab und wenden uns dessen geistigen Ahnen zu, den Brettern, die die Welt bedeuten. Die Shakespeare-Komödie Much Ado About Nothing erhielt im Jahr 2011 im Wyndham's Theatre in London von Josie Rourke eine denkwürdige Aufführung, die für die Nachwelt Gott sei Dank auf Film festgehalten wurde. Abgefilmtes Theater, höchst professionell inszeniert, aber dennoch mit spürbaren Unterschieden zu unseren sonstigen cineastischen Erlebnissen. Dass dies keineswegs ein Nachteil sein muss, kommt nicht nur in unserem Gespräch zum Tragen, sondern wird auch in der dazu passenden Top 3 "Film trifft Theater" mehr als deutlich. Ganz anders dagegen funktioniert das Fantasyepos The Fall von Tarsem Singh aus dem Jahr 2006. Die Ode ans Geschichtenerzählen fährt alles auf, was das Medium Film zu bieten hat, vielleicht sogar zu viel des Guten. In der dazu gehörigen Topliste beschäftigen wir uns mit den spannendsten Kind/Erwachsenen-Duos der Filmgeschichte, bei der wir sogar überraschend konsensuell unterwegs sind.

Art, architecture and storytelling are among Rob's passions, and given his meticulous attention to detail, he particularly thrives on seeking out fresh design techniques to lend aliveness and vitality to his process. His repeat collaborators include Trevor Nunn, Gregory Doran, David McVicar and Josie Rourke, working at renowned venues such as the NT, the Donmar, the Metropolitan Opera, and the RSC, where he serves as an Associate Artist.Rob and Jonathan chat fondly about their recent shared experience on Trevor Nunn’s production of 'Fiddler on the Roof' at the Menier/Playhouse Theatre. Rob’s beautifully-executed and poignant set designs were the perfect platform for Jonathan’s costumes and Tim Lutkin’s lighting, which together enhanced the vanished world of early 20th. century Jewish Russia that Rob had set out to conjure. The synchronicity and collaborative nature of this journey clearly made for a special experience for the team, cast and audience.angelsbehindtheseams.com

D'un côté, Saoirse Ronan et Margot Robbie: deux actrices exceptionnelles, fortes, capables de tenir les deux reines, Marie Stuart et Elisabeth I, avec passion et déchaînement.

À la mort de son mari le roi de France, elle rejoint son pays natal pour réclamer le trône occupé par Élisabeth Iʳᵉ. La reine d’Angleterre refuse de lui reconnaître les droits à la couronne. Débute alors une lutte de pouvoirs entre deux femmes souveraines dans un monde d’hommes et dans un pays déchiré entre deux religions.Saoirse Ronan excelle en jeune prétendante charismatique. Si bien qu’elle éclipse son alter ego à l’écran, Margot Robbie. Cette nouvelle démonstration de jeu vient nourrir un film sage dans la forme mais profond dans le fond. Sans doute que ces deux heures réalisées par Josie Rourke ne sont pas assez pour raconter ces deux destins croisés.Animé par Thomas Rozec avec Perrine Quennesson.RÉFÉRENCES CITÉES DANS L’ÉMISSION La Favorite (Yórgos Lánthimos, 2018), Lady Bird (Greta Gerwig, 2018), Un jour dans la vie de Billy Lynn (Ang Lee, 2016)CRÉDITS NoCiné est un podcast de Binge Audio animé par Thomas Rozec.

Saoirse Ronan takes on the role of Mary Stuart, the wilful and vindictive 16th century queen of Scotland, and is aided by Margot Robbie as Mary’s cousin and rival, Elizabeth I. British theatre director Josie Rourke takes on her first feature, and Katie takes on yet another period piece.

In a special edition of Classical Fix, film and theatre director Josie Rourke tries Clemmie's classical playlist and talks about the music she used in her new movie, Mary Queen of Scots, which was composed by Max Richter. Josie's playlist: Alice Mary Smith - Symphony in C minor (4th movement) Jorge Cardoso - Milonga Jan Dismas Zelenka - Miserere in C minor Wojciech Kilar - Agnus Dei Peter Maxwell Davies - Farewell to Stromness Classical Fix is a podcast from BBC Radio 3. If you're new to classical music and wondering where to start - this is where you start.

We review this attempt at a biopic about the famous 16th-century Scottish queen. This movie weirdly wastes time on a reductionist view of Elizabeth I of England at the expense of Mary's story. With costumes designed by Alexandra Byrne, whose designs feature denim, saddlebags, and a whole lot of WTF, we end up asking WHY a lot.

Much of Alexandra’s film career has focused on creating costumes for historical period dramas. These films include Hamlet, Elizabeth, Finding Neverland, and Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Alexandra’s costume design work has earned her four Academy Award nominations, and a win for Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Since 2011, Alexandra has also designed the costumes for many films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Thor, The Avengers, and Doctor Strange. More recently, Alexandra worked on the acclaimed Mary Queen of Scots for Josie Rourke starring Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie.

The superb new film Mary Queen of Scots rehabilitates the image of one of history’s most maligned monarchs. In a multi-part conversation, Tina talks with Margot Robbie, who plays Mary’s cousin and rival Queen Elizabeth I, first-time director Josie Rourke and Cambridge historian John Guy, who wrote the riveting revisionist biography on which the film is based.Tweet me @tinabrownlm #TBDwithTinaBrown and if you liked this episode, please rate, review and subscribe, it helps us spread the word.

History unfolds on this episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome writer/director/cinematographer JEFF FRY and writer/director FRANCES CAUSEY to talk about their latest films, plus we've got our prerecorded exclusive interview with director JOSIE ROURKE! First up, take a listen to director JOSIE ROURKE as she talks about making her feature directorial debut with MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS. From being the first female artistic director at a London theatre to directing a film for the big screen is quite a leap in and of itself, but to tackle an historical piece such as MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS complete with a cast of hundreds, full crew, and helicopter shots as your first feature is something else. With a philosophy of "go big or go home", Josie gives us some insight into the "making of" and what that entailed for her vision. Then JEFF FRY joins us live talking about his directorial debut with the "American Foreign Language" and Academy-qualified live-action short (40 min) film, KRIEG. In French and German with English subtitles, KRIEG is a unique story set in WWII Europe, Jeff delves behind the typical POV of black and white battles of good versus evil and blurs the line of war on the battlefield and in the hearts of those fighting. Focusing on an American aviator shot down in the mountains of Germany, a Waffen SS unit and one soldier with a solo mission, and a pair of allies in the French Underground, all converge and intersect in a compelling story. Listen as Jeff talks about the genesis of the story, the importance of authenticity with everything from clothes to vehicles to the underground radio and the challenges associated with each, the decision to use film and the Panavision cameras and lenses selected in order to visually craft the story. Last up in this episode of #BTLRadioShow is former CNN journalist, writer/director FRANCES CAUSEY who talks about her latest documentary, THE LONG SHADOW. A fascinating and educational history of slavery in the United States and its impact on our economy and political system, Frances talks about not only her research process but developing her through line, starting with the personalization of the film and her uncle six-times removed, Edmund Pendleton who served as Virginia's governor in 1775-1776 and crafted verbiage into Virginia's governing documents and ultimately that of the United States which institutionalized slavery. Bringing history to the forefront and including events of the present, you'll find Frances' process of connecting the dots enriching and interesting. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Francis Fukuyama once famously announced ‘the end of history’. He now turns his attention to what he sees as the great challenge to liberal democracy: identity politics. He tells Andrew Marr that today’s descent into identities narrowly focused on nation, religion, race or gender have resulted in an increasingly polarised and factional society. Birkbeck Professor of Politics, Eric Kaufmann, is looking at populism, immigration and the future of white majorities. He argues that the concerns of white people should be listened to and questions whether it's possible to transform and redefine the debate about ethnic diversity. But the black student activist Roseanne Chantiluke argues that for too long issues of race have been side-lined to maintain the status quo. She was involved in the campaign to remove the statue of Cecil Rhodes in Oxford and to challenge imperialist attitudes within the University. Sexual politics, power and identity are at the heart of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. The director Josie Rourke explores what happens when the actors playing the powerful male Deputy and the powerless female Novice alternate from one act to the next. Producer: Katy Hickman
