Podcasts about Lady Macbeth

Things are going poorly for you? That's too bad, because I'm having a grand ol' time.Are you subscribed to Climate Workers Anonymous? Do so now to listen in and read whenever a new edition is released and support this fledgling collective art project.Welcome to Climate Workers Anonymous, where those who work in climate are able to share the feelings and experiences they want to share but aren't sure they want attached to their name.They might want that anonymity because they've got some biting satirical take their corporate employer would frown upon. Maybe it's someone trying to scale their company's impact but is dubious that all of the levels of governance in carbon dioxide removal do as much good as is claimed. Or maybe they want anonymity because their company is doing well when many of their peers are not. That can be its own form of loneliness.As I was recording this and trying to describe this feeling, I got stuck onto “the ghost at the feast” that people associate so strongly with Shakespeare's Macbeth.But that's not quite right. In the play, Banquo's ghost shows up, Macbeth is the only character who can see him, and it causes Macbeth to act very erratically, ruining the feast for the guests and especially Lady Macbeth.For this submission, it's more like the submitter is a vigorous person who somehow wandered into a “meal” for ghosts. The submitter's contentment, health, and ability to sate their hunger can't help but cause the ghosts envy and grief by merely existing in their presence.This type of inequality—even if earned entirely through meritocratic means (though it's for me to know where such a thing could exist in the world such as it is)—can make us uncomfortable. As I read the submission, the submitter is proud of their strategy and ability to execute and good read of macro conditions and wants to promenade their success without necessarily wishing any else will or a lack of success.I do wonder in a case like this, if it would be less satisfying to the submitter if everyone received the same success. Would it diminish their value or their foresight? How much of our desire to work is driven by a need to distinguish ourselves as individuals, and to feel our status grow in the eyes of ourselves and others?Who can say what is in the submitter's heart, when even our own can be so mysterious? But if we take them at face value, it's also an encouragement to fight yourself back to health. Don't give up. It's not too late. Get back in the game and catch up to your peer so you can celebrate alongside.SubmissionsN.B. The submissions in Climate Workers Anonymous are anonymous and unverified.* We're actually fine. Times are tough, no doubt, but we keep growing from a large base, and have some really exciting milestones ahead of us. In some ways, I wish I saw more fighting spirit from our industry. Some large incumbents aren't getting the funding to take them to the scale they expected, but somehow they've decided to just do nothing instead. Complete silence, at least in public, which also makes the bad buyer & investor sentiment a self-fulfilling prophecy to some extent. Surely it'd be better to at least keep building & learning publicly at a smaller scale like we used to? Meanwhile, we feel vindicated in the strategic choices we made that allow us to keep scaling, but it feels like there's nobody to celebrate with if the whole industry is hurting.I enjoy these short and sweet episodes.

O tédio pode ser mais perigoso do que qualquer crime Neste episódio, Gabi e Andreia entram em uma casa sufocante, onde o silêncio pesa mais do que qualquer palavra e o desejo encontra caminhos inesperados e destrutivos. Sim, estamos falando de Lady Macbeth do Distrito de Mtzensk, de Nikolai Leskov e de sua adaptação cinematográfica de 2016, dirigida por William Oldroyd, que transporta essa história para um cenário igualmente opressivo, com uma abordagem minimalista e inquietante. Então, feche as portas, prenda a respiração e venha ouvir — porque, quando o desejo e a liberdade se chocam com a opressão, o resultado pode ser devastador.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Imagination–and this is the first in a series of episodes about William Shakespeare. And here we have a wax figure of the BARD himself. And personally, let me say as an actor that I am really excited about the prospect of learning more about what makes William Shakespeare so great!  Oh here you are!Mr. Shakespeare, I am really excited about this series of podcast episodes.Now we are not going to begin by interviewing Hamlet… or Juliet… or Lady Macbeth… or Romeo…No. Today, I'm starting with… a town.A town with muddy streets, and church bells, and gossip that travels faster than Wi-Fi ever dreamed of traveling.Because before Shakespeare becomes Shakespeare—the name you've heard a thousand times—he is a boy in Stratford-upon-Avon, absorbing the world like a sponge with ambitions.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Tyler Anthony Smith's Out, Darn Spot! is a hilarious hour-long fever dream that imagines Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth as the host of a 60's daytime chat show (pictured above). Smith talks about the play's evolution and how they share the character's desire to be "unsex'd"; how Smith plays fair with Shakespeare's plot and characters; how we need to rethink how we introduce young people to Shakespeare; and how Smith's work brings Shakespearean figures into the modern world, as in their latest show Queen for a Day, which brings Queen Elizabeth I (played by Smith) into the 1980s to meet fashion designer Halston and Liza Minnelli (and playing in NYC September 4-14, 2026); and a possible future show with the working title Romeo & Juliet & Cher; why Smith would love to play Iago; and how all Shakespeare's villains are probably gay. (Length 22:10)  The post Out, Darn Spot! appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

I interviewed Navid Khonsari & Vassiliki Khonsari about LILI on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for LILI: "In an Iranian city, Lili, the lonely wife of a militia commander, plots a murder to secure her husband's rise within a corrupt regime. But when the killing unhinges the order of things, she is drawn into a network of deep web hackers — modern-day witches — who weaponise hidden truth. This stylised neo-noir game adaptation of Macbeth unfolds through smartphones, computer screens, and deep-state surveillance, immersing players as hackers in the oppressive surveillance state." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Embody Hacker within the Surveillance State [12] context of an athoritarian government [10] as you watch someone in their home [4], and you're doing this through a computer and communications technology device [3]. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: A screen life thriller with computer screen-based Interactions, operate computer2nd Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Cut scenes of the Lady MacBeth character unfold, which are gated by you solving little interactive puzzles3rd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Site-specific installation, and lots of theatrical staging. It's not VR, and so you are primarly interfacing with a computer screen within the context of a hacker-like space. You're watching various action unfold over surveillance footage, but you also are primarily interfacing with a computer screen.4th Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Possibility spaces of choices to make. There are some different endings, or at least a follow-up QR code to learn more about the identity of either being a rebel or enforcing the authoritarian rule. The primary mode of instruction comes via a chat window as you get clues for various puzzles that you have to solve. You face some mental friction with each puzzle, but then are rewarded with the progression of the story. There's also the symbolic connections and parallels to Shakespeare's MacBeth to add additional contextualization for how this story might adapt to the context of the authoritarian regime within Iran Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Authoritarian tendancies as well as control "challenges them to question power, control, and complicity." Power, but bringing up questions of Justice. Artist Statement: "A bold reimagining of Macbeth set in present-day Iran, Lili centers on Lady Macbeth in a screen life thriller that embodies the kind of boundary-pushing work we champion at iNK Stories. Fusing film, theatre, and game design, it confronts rising surveillance and authoritarianism. Blending classic storytelling with AI and interactivity, Lili breaks cinematic convention — inviting audiences to step inside the narrative, make choices, and face consequences in a layered experience that challenges them to question power, control, and complicity."

AS PORTLAND DISTRICT Attorney Walter Evans and his team ramped up their case against Louise Agee, the tone of the newspaper coverage got darker and darker. At one point The Oregonian quotes prosecutors and investigators (anonymously, of course) as saying she was not acting like an innocent person, and even comparing her with Lady Macbeth — she of the Shakespeare play. “She is regarded as a woman without imagination and to whom the finer feelings are undiscovered,” the Oregonian writes...

Actress Sara Wiseman's made a name for herself in Kingdom of The Planet of the Apes, A Place to Call Home and Mercy Peak - and she's set to take on an iconic theatrical role. Auckland Theatre Company's latest production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth is set to debut this Tuesday at Auckland's ASB Waterfront Theatre, with Wiseman taking on the show's coveted female role. She says the complexity of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth's relationship will come right to the surface in this version, and she promises this arc will be 'extreme'. "I think there's a Lady Macbeth in everyone...they want something that they don't have and we've all been there, and sometimes they bend their morals to get it. And we've probably all been there in our lives." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's just Philippa this week — flying solo while Quentin represents the podcast at Katie and Simon's wedding. Huge congratulations to the happy couple.Bert is back from Clive's and he is worse than ever. Philippa has many thoughts, none of them positive. Meanwhile Ian is doing a full Lady Macbeth behind Adam's back, visiting Alice when he thought Adam would be out, and Philippa is genuinely worried about what he might do next. Adam, remarkably, is the voice of reason this week. Tony digs up something in the garden that turns out not to be the time capsule and not to be worth very much either. Chris has a year to wait for his flat. Brian makes Welsh rarebit. And the Borchester Show is almost here.Plus: why Tracey needs to find her inner strength and let Bert go, the mystery of where Bert's money has gone, whether Fallon might prefer life with Chris to life with Harrison, Keira standing up for herself, and some very strong feelings about butterfly farms in a heatwave.Star of the Week, Twit of the Week, highly accurate predictions, and a special clip from Katie and Quentin at the wedding at the end of the YouTube version.Topics covered: Bert | Tracey Fuller | Susan Carter | Neil Carter | Adam Macy | Ian Thornton | Alice Carter | Brian Aldridge | Tony Archer | Chris Carter | Fallon Rogers | Keira | Borchester Show | The Archers July 2026SUPPORT ALL ABOUT THE ARCHERS:You can BUY US A COFFEE here: buymeacoffee.com/allaboutthearchersYou can buy our MERCH here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/aboutthearchers/shopDo join our FACEBOOK Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1127587031446013/ Hosted on Acast.

It's another week of BEHIND THE LENS shining a spotlight on DANCES WITH FILMS and a couple of the wonderful films and filmmakers in this year's festival, namely HEKLA and w/d MICHAEL GLOVER SMITH and THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG and w/d DOUGLAS BREMNER. First up – MICHAEL GLOVER SMITH and HEKLA! HEKLA is a comedy/drama about the emotional cost of pursuing a creative life. Set over one hectic day in Chicago, it explores how ambition, identity, and vulnerability collide when you're chasing something as personal – and uncertain – as an acting career. Hekla Gudmunsdottir (Elizabeth Stam), a determined actress, races through auditions, breakups, and self-doubt, risking her heart and career to claim her voice and step fully into the artist and woman she's meant to be: Hekla goes on four auditions, gets new headshots, and plays Lady Macbeth in a dive bar, all while attempting to keep intrusive thoughts of a recently ended relationship at bay. Beneath the humor and dramatic momentum lies a story about the importance of showing up for yourself, even when the world isn't clapping for you yet. Shifting gears, and I do mean shifting, we move into a medical legal tale told from a very unique perspective – that of the medical expert. THE GOOSE THAT LAID THE GOLDEN EGG is inspired by a true story involving writer/director DOUG BREMNER. In addition to being a filmmaker, Doug is also a professor of psychiatry and a medical researcher. He did brain imaging research on the effects of an acne medication, isotretinoin (Accutane), on the brain, and as a result became an expert witness in multi-district litigation related to depression and suicide in teenagers who had taken the drug. The research was funded by private donations from affected families. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Eine Folge über die berühmteste toxische Beziehung der Weltliteratur und ihren Soundtrack. Lady Macbeth stiftet ihren Mann zum Mord an, verliert dann den Verstand und versucht im Schlaf, imaginäre Blutflecken von ihren Händen zu schrubben.

Elle fait partie du club select des mauvaises femmes de la mythologie et de la fiction aux côtés de Médée, Circé et Lady Macbeth : la fée Morgane, antagoniste historique du soi-disant irréprochable roi Arthur, en a bavé, et il était temps de la réhabiliter. Le médiéviste franco-italien Emanuele Arioli, connu pour son travail sur Ségurant, le chevalier a dragon, consacre un codex richement illustré à la demi-sœur d'Arthur, et révélant d'autres facettes : une enfant trahie et dépossédée de son héritage, devenue femme puissante, éprise de liberté et de savoir.

Únete a nuestra comunidad El Mapa de la Ansiedad en Skool: https://www.skool.com/elmapadelaansiedad Un espacio con cursos, recursos y una comunidad donde compartir, aprender y comprender mejor la ansiedad, la tristeza y los procesos emocionales. En este episodio de La teoría de la mente, seguimos el rastro de una de las imágenes más poderosas para describir la tristeza profunda: el perro negro. Una sombra que acompaña, que se sienta al lado, que llega sin avisar y que convierte incluso las tareas más simples en una montaña difícil de escalar. A partir de esta metáfora, popularizada por Winston Churchill, viajamos por la historia de la melancolía para construir una auténtica biografía de la tristeza. Antes de llamarse depresión, antes de convertirse en diagnóstico clínico, la tristeza fue bilis negra, temperamento, pecado, genialidad, posesión, sensibilidad artística y también una forma de lucidez incómoda. Comenzamos en la antigua Grecia, con la medicina hipocrática y la teoría de los cuatro humores: sangre, flema, bilis amarilla y bilis negra. De ahí nace la palabra melancolía, del griego mélas —negro— y kholé —bilis—. Pero la historia no se queda en el cuerpo. En textos atribuidos a la escuela de Aristóteles, como el famoso Problema XXX, 1, aparece una pregunta fascinante: ¿por qué tantos hombres destacados en la filosofía, la política, la poesía y las artes parecen ser melancólicos? Desde ahí exploramos una idea que sigue viva: ¿puede el sufrimiento abrir caminos de conocimiento? ¿Existe una lucidez melancólica? ¿O estamos romantizando una carga emocional que puede destruirnos? El episodio avanza hacia la Edad Media, donde la tristeza se transforma en acedia, una especie de pereza espiritual o demonio interno asociado a la culpa, la apatía y la inmovilidad. Después viajamos al Renacimiento, cuando Saturno, Marsilio Ficino y Robert Burton convierten la melancolía en una marca de profundidad intelectual. La tristeza se vuelve prestigio, pose social y teatro cultural. También analizamos cómo la literatura refleja distintas formas de sufrimiento: Don Quijote, atrapado entre un mundo interior que ya no encaja con la realidad; Hamlet, cuya tristeza se interpreta como filosofía; Ofelia, reducida a histeria; Lady Macbeth, prisionera de la culpa corporal; y El rey Lear, quebrado por la pérdida del poder, la familia y la identidad. Finalmente llegamos a Freud y a su ensayo Duelo y melancolía, donde aparece una de las frases más inquietantes del psicoanálisis: “la sombra del objeto cae sobre el yo”. Hablamos de pérdida, culpa, vacío, depresión moderna, neurociencia, psicofármacos y del delicado equilibrio entre aliviar el dolor y escuchar lo que ese dolor quizá intenta decirnos. Este episodio no busca glorificar la tristeza ni romantizar la depresión. La depresión puede inmovilizar, apagar y romper; cuando eso ocurre, pedir ayuda profesional es fundamental. Pero tampoco conviene humillar toda tristeza, silenciarla o tratarla solo como un fallo que hay que corregir cuanto antes. Quizá la clave no sea expulsar para siempre al perro negro, sino aprender a reconocer sus pasos: saber cuándo viene de visita y cuándo se está instalando demasiado tiempo.

Is Shakespeare still Shakespeare even if every word is changed? While Shakespeare's work is often hailed for its universality, its meter, metaphor, and wordplay pose special challenges for translators. How do you convey the rhythm and spirit of Shakespeare's words in a language that follows fundamentally different rules? Author and translator Daniel Hahn explores these questions in his book, If This Be Magic: The Unlikely Art of Shakespeare in Translation. He interviews translators from around the world, providing unique perspectives on Shakespeare's language and impact. Some of Shakespeare's best-known lines can prove the most difficult to capture, like Henry V's “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.” Even something seemingly simple like Lady Macbeth's “Are you a man?” may be tricky to translate when the word “man” carries different connotations in different languages. In this episode, Hahn dives into the challenges and rewards of translating Shakespeare, exploring not only what is lost in translation, but also what is gained.

No Desculpa Alguma Coisa, Tati Bernardi recebe a atriz, diretora, escritora e palestrante Leona Cavalli. A artista fala sobre sua carreira e seus projetos atualmente. Leona conta a história por trás do seu nome, o conservadorismo do pai sobre a arte e a parceira com o diretor Zé Celso. A atriz lembra de papéis em obras de Nelson Rodrigues, como por exemplo, “A Valsa número 6” que interpretou ainda adolescente. Ela também fala do amor sobre o trabalho e sua contribuição na ONG ‘Paz sem Fronteiras', além da honra de ter vivido Frida Khalo no teatro e dirigido o monólogo de Susana Vieira, Lady Macbeth, de Shakespeare.

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler welcomes back Caitlin Krause for their second conversation. Caitlin is a globally recognised experience designer, educator, author and founder of MindWise, whose work spans digital wellbeing, immersive design, contemplative practice and creative expression. She holds an MFA in poetry, has taught internationally across Belgium and Switzerland, and built the digital wellbeing program about wellbeing and technology at Stanford University. She teaches at the University of Oregon. She advises organisations including TED, The U.S. Air Force, LinkedIn, Google, Meta, Oracle, Evernote, and the U.S. State Department. Caitlin creates human-centered experiences mediated by technology, fusing creativity, meditation, storytelling, collaboration, and emotional intelligence for full life thriving. She is the author of six books, including her most recent work on digital wellbeing and a forthcoming collection of poetry, Poems of Root and Light. Caitlin and Anne first met at TED 2023, whose theme that year was Possibilities — and the thread of possibility runs through their exchange.Anne and Caitlin discuss her newest book, Digital Wellbeing, A transformative guide to thriving in the digital age. The conversation explores the etymology of the word 'digital' itself — a thread Caitlin traces from the digits of the hand through Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth to the immersive computing she works with today. Caitlin speaks to her motivation behind the book: not to produce a manual of healthy habits, nor to surrender to the idea that the machines have already won, but to offer an entry point for people to approach digital technology with less fear and hopefully less overwhelm that so many leaders and teams experience.The book is designed around the conviction that your body is your testing ground, that you get to have your experience and own it, and that the question of technology is ultimately a question of being.Caitlin's framework for immersive design, seven themes she calls the seven Es, anchored in what she describes as wonder-rich spatial computing design, runs through the conversation as both a professional methodology and a personal philosophy. Anne and Caitlin also discuss Caitlin's Shadow Storytelling experience, in which she guided participants from a Zoom call into a shared metaverse landscape for a meditation and storytelling session built around Jungian themes, winter imagery and candlelit caves. Both women explore the question of technology as a dance partner rather than a destination, and what it means to be the embodied physical human deciding how and whether to layer with it.Caitlin also tells the story of how the spirit of play, cultivated through an itinerant childhood in a foreign service family, has directly informed her pedagogy and her approach to guiding people into transformative experiences through technology. The conversation closes with Caitlin reading two poems from her forthcoming collection — 'The Middle Path' and the title poem 'Root and Light' — bringing the episode to a still and luminous end.Connect with CaitlinCaitlin's website: caitlinkrause.comMindWise — Caitlin's consultancyPoems of Root and Light — forthcoming poetry collectionDigital Satori — Caitlin's 2023 poetry collectionCaitlin's upcoming course at Kripalu Centre ‘Awakening Awe': Referenced in the episode:John O'Donohue — Irish poet and philosopherMartha Graham — choreographer and dance pioneer, quoted in the episodeDavid Whyte — poet and author whose work Caitlin referencesJoy Harjo — poet, referenced by CaitlinUrsula K.

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance", we are joined by acclaimed choreographer Akram Khan, weeks before his brand new full length production "Lady Macbeth" premieres at the Royal Danish Ballet. He tells us how the dancers of the company have immersed themselves through months of singular focus, how the work's plot has evolved since its inception, and how much his own dance language has fused with classical ballet vernacular to create the world of this ballet. "Lady Macbeth" runs April 24th through June 4th at the opera house mainstage in Copenhagen.

What makes a female character feel dangerously compelling rather than flat, clichéd, or simply “unlikeable”? In this episode, Stuart explores how to write wicked women with complexity, power, and emotional truth. From villains and antiheroes to politically sharp schemers and socially inconvenient women, this is a deep dive into the craft of creating female characters who refuse to behave nicely on the page or stage. With literary examples including Medea and Lady Macbeth, plus practical tools you can apply to your own work, this episode will help you write women who are morally complicated, dramatically alive, and impossible to ignore.

After shocking upsets in last week's Rounds of 64 and 32, our Ides of March Madness tournament continues with a Sweet 16 consisting of Nick Bottom vs. Richard III, Beatrice vs. Sir John Falstaff, Juliet vs. Cassius, Marc Antony vs. Margaret, Aaron vs. Hamlet, Emilia vs. Prince Hal/Henry V, Lady Macbeth vs. Caliban, and Paulina vs. Viola. Judges DeeDee Batteast, Nate Cohen, Elizabeth Dennehy, Gregory Linington, and Austin Tichenor call it the way they see it and reveal how some unjustifiable seeding gets exposed when characters go head-to-head; how “the noblest Roman of them all” fares against a teenage girl from Verona; how Queen Margaret begins as Juliet; Aaron's aristocratic origins; how the possibility of playing these characters with the Back Room Shakespeare Project became an important contributing factor; several come-from-behind victories when the outcome looked obvious; and how characters who appear across multiple plays have a decided(ly unfair?) advantage. Who will win the crown of Shakespeare's Best Character? Hear here! (Length 52:41) The post Ides of March Madness 2026 (Part 2) appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

A maestra carioca Andréa Huguenin Botelho, radicada há 27 anos na Alemanha e já reconhecida por sua trajetória na música erudita, está prestes a encarar um desafio para poucos. Ela acaba de se tornar a primeira mulher a ocupar o posto de regente titular da Orquestra Sinfônica do Palatinado Ocidental, tradicional da cidade de Kusel, no oeste da Alemanha, com mais de 130 anos de história. Para o concerto de estreia, marcado para 21 de junho, Andréa adiantou que fará questão de incluir a música brasileira no programa: Pixinguinha deverá representar o país no palco. Gabriel Brust, correspondente da RFI em Düsseldorf, Alemanha Andréa contou à RFI como foi o processo de seleção para reger a orquestra: “O processo para você ser escolhido para uma orquestra, seja ela amadora, semi-profissional ou profissional, aqui na Alemanha, demora um pouquinho, porque é muito difícil. É um processo que eu acho muito bonito, porque, além da sua competência, você é escolhido pelos músicos da orquestra. A orquestra tem a voz para escolher o seu líder. Dentro das entrevistas que a gente tem de fazer, a gente tem que dizer o nosso conceito, porque a orquestra vai ter a minha cara. Então, eu falei que o meu conceito é que nenhum repertório, nenhum concerto vai ser só  com obras de homens”. Pesquisar e dar visibilidade a compositoras atuais e do passado se tornou uma das missões da maestra. Além, é claro, de trazer mais mulheres para os palcos. “Até metade do século 20 e até hoje, a gente tinha um problema de que as mulheres tinham dificuldade de entrar no mercado de trabalho de orquestras. O que se faz na seleção de músicos agora são as blind auditions, onde o teste é feito atrás de um biombo para a gente não ver quem está lá. E isso surgiu porque se descobriu que, quando se fechava o biombo e as pessoas não sabiam quem estava tocando, começou a aumentar o número de mulheres nas orquestras.” Andréa é curadora da série de apresentações Komponistin! (ou Compositora!, em alemão), que ocorre em Berlim, e também é membro do conselho do arquivo musical Frauen und Musik (Mulheres e Música), instituição baseada em Frankfurt focada na redescoberta, valorização e divulgação de obras de compositoras historicamente negligenciadas. Música erudita, um mundo masculino A percepção de que o mundo da música erudita era bastante masculino ocorreu ainda cedo, no Rio de Janeiro, quando Andréa começou sua carreira. “Quando fui falar com meu professor na época em que eu queria reger, ele disse: ‘não sabia que você era de igreja'. Eu disse que não era. Mas é que na cabeça dele, mulheres só regiam corais de igreja”. Foi na Rússia – um dos países fundamentais para sua trajetória musical, ao lado de Alemanha e Estados Unidos – que veio a ideia de começar a pesquisar o trabalho de autoras mulheres: “A virada de chave foi exatamente em São Petersburgo, onde fui chamada para reger uma obra de Shostakovich, que é um dos compositores que mais aprecio. Quando fui estudar a ópera Lady Macbeth do Distrito de Mtsensk, vi que ela degrada a mulher de uma forma, até com um estupro coletivo na personagem principal. É muito pesado. E aí eu falei, ‘mas peraí, eu garanto que mulher não ia escrever isso.' Daí logo pensei: mas será que elas escreveram?” Não só elas escreveram sobre muitos temas, como a maestra estará apresentando algumas de suas mulheres preferidas da música em um concerto neste domingo (8), dia da mulher, no mesmo castelo Britz, em Berlim, tendo no repertório Ivone Lara, Elza Soares, Dinorá de Carvalho, Maria Amélia e Babi de Oliveira, entre outras. Música brasileira em escola alemã A divulgação da música brasileira também tem ocupado a atribulada agenda da maestra Andréa na Alemanha. Em 2016, ela criou o Brasilianische Musik in der City West, um programa dedicado exclusivamente ao ensino da música do Brasil a estrangeiros, e inteiramente financiado pelo governo alemão. Para Andréa, há diferenciais que valorizam a música de seu país natal. “A música brasileira não proporciona o que a gente chama de estranhamento cultural. Como a música europeia teve um berço enorme, ela teve o seu caminho pelo Brasil, e também a gente teve as relações com as músicas de países africanos, e ela se mesclou. E na década de 1960, com as misturas do jazz, a música brasileira se tornou uma música muito agradável para diversas culturas”. Parceria com a filha Nos últimos anos, Andréa conta com a parceria de alguém bastante próximo, sua filha Duda Botelho que, aos 18 anos, já é uma contrabaixista que acumula prêmios, como o Concurso Internacional de Música Grunewald e o prêmio do Festival Internacional de Contrabaixo da Bélgica. “O trabalho da minha mãe foi uma grande influência, não só no meu repertório, mas também na minha musicalidade e técnica no contrabaixo. Ao longo dos anos, conforme ela foi arranjando mais peças de compositoras, ela sempre me perguntava se o que ela estava escrevendo era possível de tocar no contrabaixo. E, com isso, sem a gente perceber, esse processo contribuiu muito para o meu desenvolvimento. Eu me desafiava constantemente a conseguir tocar essas obras”, conta a jovem.

It may be considered cursed, but Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most popular and beloved plays. We chat with Dazmann Still (playing Macbeth) and Amy Frances Quint (playing Lady Macbeth) who are tackling this classic text at The Frog + Peach Theatre Company in NYC running through March 2026. https://www.frogandpeachtheatre.org/

The View hosts made it clear they have no desire to ever sit down and banter with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, with Alyssa Farah Griffin comparing her contentious congressional hearings on her bungling of the Epstein files to Bravo's notoriously messy Real Housewives reunions. Joy Behar noted that Bondi was "mimicking" President Donald Trump's contemptible behavior, and predicted the AG's fealty to the president will be worthless once he's out of office. Behar's co-hosts agreed, especially Ana Navarro -- a long time acquaintance of Bondi from their Florida legal days -- who called the AG's performance "personally disgusting and disappointing" and compared her conduct to a "high school production of Lady Macbeth."Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Whitney White is a theatrical powerhouse. A director, writer, actor, and musician, White's work has been seen on Broadway, Off Broadway, and at major institutions including The Public Theater, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and, most recently, the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her projects include Jaja's African Hair Braiding, The Last Five Years, Macbeth in Stride, and By The Queen, which was featured in the Folger's 2025 Reading Room Festival. In this episode, White discusses All Is But Fantasy, her four-play musical cycle created for the RSC, where it's now receiving its world premiere. The high-energy, gig-theater show investigates Shakespeare's women and ambition, focusing on Lady Macbeth, Emilia, Juliet, and Richard III. Each piece combines performance with original music, using sound and rhythm as a way into the text and as a tool for rethinking these characters whose inner lives are often cut short or overlooked. White reflects on why Shakespeare's women so often meet tragic ends, how those stories continue to feel familiar, and what it means to keep staging them now. She considers the ways that music, performance, and adaptation can help us better understand Shakespeare today. From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

Send us a textMacbeth does not become evil because he's confused. He becomes evil because he learns to call evil “reasonable.”Let me repeat that, because that's the whole episode:He starts using good logic for a bad purpose.That's how a smart person goes wrong.Shakespeare makes Macbeth understandable on purpose. He shows you the self-talk.We're picking up right after the witches in Act 1 Scene 3. Macbeth has heard “king hereafter,” and now his mind is buzzing.Then:Act 1 Scene 4: Duncan names Malcolm heir. This is the moment Macbeth stops thinking “maybe” and starts thinking “how.”Stars, hide your fires;Let not light see my black and deep desires.The eye wink at the hand, yet let that beWhich the eye fears, when it is done, to see.Act 1 Scene 5: Lady Macbeth reads Macbeth's letter and decides to push him.Only look up clear.To alter favor ever is to fear.Leave all the rest to me.Act 1 Scene 6: Duncan arrives at Macbeth's castle — and he's gracious. That matters. See, see our honored hostess!—The love that follows us sometime is our trouble,Which still we thank as love. Herein I teach youHow you shall bid God 'ild us for your painsAnd thank us for your trouble.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Send us a textHOST (George):In Macbeth, evil rarely arrives waving a pitchfork; it arrives wearing a suit and offering a reasonable argument that elections are no longer necessary.That's how it works in public life—and it's how it works in this play.And Lady Macbeth is the clearest example.Here's the main idea of this episode.Lady Melania - I mean lady macbeth -doesn't begin as a monster. She begins as a person who treats conscience like a problem to solve.Let me say that again, because this is the entire episode:She doesn't argue that murder is good—she argues that hesitation is weak.Macbeth has brakes. Lady Macbeth calls the brakes “cowardice.”And I'll say it again—because repetition is the way understanding sticks:This episode is about how people talk themselves into the unthinkable by making it sound practical.We'll follow Lady Macbeth through five key stops:Act 1 Scene 5: she reads Macbeth's letter and decides to push.Act 1 Scene 7: she persuades Macbeth when he tries to back out.Act 2 Scene 2: the murder happens, and we see who can function in the moment.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Shakespeare's plays are filled with unforgettable women—but too often, their voices are cut short. Ophelia never gets to defend herself. Gertrude never explains her choices. Lady Anne surrenders to Richard III in silence. In her new book, She Speaks: What Shakespeare's Women Might Have Said, acclaimed actor Dame Harriet Walter imagines what those characters might tell us if given the chance. Through original poems, Walter reimagines moments of silence, expands on fleeting lines, and provides depth to women who were left without a final word. Walter invites us to see Shakespeare's plays in a new light—reconsidering how we understand his female characters, and how their voices might transform the stories we thought we knew.

After the last three weeks with Dante, we jump to another three-week series with Shakespeare and NINE plays!Shakespeare can be daunting, so I offer a few thoughts on how to approach him: Watch a movie FIRSTGet a good edition (hello, Folger Shakespeare Library)Keep a one-line-per-scene summary as you readEnjoy!! It will get easier and the plays are so very worthwhile.Hamlet dazzles with layered characters and razor-sharp language. Prince Hamlet wrestles with grief, revenge, and perhaps madness, while Claudius broods over the cost of his own sin. My own final note: “Everyone dies except Horatio.”Macbeth feels darker and almost Greek. The witches act as oracles, but Macbeth isn't their puppet—he chooses evil. Lady Macbeth is more accelerant than mastermind, and the play pulses with ominous energy.King Lear hit me hardest. Lear is not villainous, just weary and reckless, longing to lay down his burdens—yet no one gets that choice. Dividing his kingdom invites betrayal from his elder daughters and the scheming Edmund, while steadfast Cordelia stands tragically apart. The repeated “nothing” captures the emptiness of abdicated duty.Together they reveal Shakespeare's trademarks: sudden madness, clever disguises, and language that still crackles, showing three kinds of downfall—the victim (Hamlet), the villain (Macbeth), and the feckless ruler (Lear).LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)My Amazon Book List (NOT an affiliate link)My Hamlet Movie ChoiceMy MacBeth Movie ChoiceMy King Lear Movie Choice (Not actually that good but I still think about it)CONNECTThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes: https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

he first "Mother's Day" episode, designed to celebrate women, although at times it felt a bit like the opposite.

Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century. But in 1936, Joseph Stalin attended a performance of Shostakovich's opera, Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. The Soviet leader was unimpressed and left early. Days later, the state newspaper Pravda published a scathing review titled 'Muddle instead of music', castigating the music as bourgeois. Shostakovich was blacklisted from public life, and feared for his safety during Stalin's ongoing purges. The traditional style of his comeback Symphony No 5 in 1937 was a hit with the authorities, and Shostakovich's reputation was restored. But his true intentions are hugely debated – some experts argue the Fifth Symphony was a cleverly veiled act of dissent. Fifty years on from the composer's death, his son Maxim Shostakovich unfolds the mystery with Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.
