Anna Lisa Wärnlöf, alias Claque, har aldrig fått en framträdande plats i den svenska litteraturen. Men hon är en av våra stora stilister, tycker Ulrika Knutson som hyllar Pella-böckernas skapare. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Essän sändes första gången 2017. Varför är det så svårt att tala om det som betytt allra mest, också böcker? Därför att man är rädd att avslöja sitt innersta, förstås, och finna det banalt. Men om det skulle vara så, så är det inte Anna-Lisa Wärnlöfs fel. Någon sa häromdagen att om Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf, med signaturen Claque, hade varit karl, så hade hon stått ordentligt synlig på klassikerhyllan: avdelningen stilister, mellan Per Rådström och Claes Hylinger. Visst skulle det vara så! Men förklädd till flickbok och kåseri är Claque för alltid utstraffad från den riktiga litteraturen. Ha. På ofattbara sju år, 1958-1965 skriver hon de fyra romanerna om Pella, tre om den buttra Fredrike och hennes krets, och så den märkliga barndomsbiografin ”Boken om Agnes”, 1963. Detta är Claques litterära verk och värld, som nu alltså lever ett rikt liv under klassikerhyllan, under radarn, och älskas hett i hemlighet. Hon går som ett mycel genom bibiotek och antikvariat. Varhelst du minst anar det kan du hitta en läsare flaskmatad med Pella-sentenser. De sitter som slaktstämplar, går aldrig ur. Den som först kom ut ur garderoben som Pella-beroende var Gun-Britt Sundström, ett stilistiskt barn av Sören Kirkegaard – och Claque. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf – född 1911, död 1987 – var som mest verksam under det tidiga sextiotalet, samtida med miljonprogrammet. Hennes ton gycklar med det andliga rivningsraseriet, den snabba nivelleringen i demokratins namn; en estetisk protest besläktad med Olle Adolphsons visor. Hos Claque finns samma ironiska melankoli, och sinne för ordens poesi. Hos Olle var det "nedisad Volvo med släp", och "kokt kummel med äggsås". Anna-Lisa har samma blick för det konkreta. Majorskan sitter i skymningen och "njuter av att ha två tummar", Pella kräks i duffelkragen vid tanken på att trassla till altaret i tolv meter organza. I fyrtio år övade hon sig som kåsör i Svenska Dagbladet, uppskattad men skygg. På fyrtio år satte hon inte sin fot på redaktionen. Men lilla Pella och farmor Majorskan och tant Signhild levde redan och verkade för fullt i tidningen när Wärnlöf romandebuterade med ”Pellas bok” 1958. När jag mötte Pella i början av sjuttiotalet var de här böckerna bara tio-femton år gamla, ändå speglade de en försvunnen värld, med exotiska inslag av flickskolor, hembiträden och bostadsbrist. Och spridda skurar av borgerlig bildning, som om det hade varit något fullt normalt och ingenting att oroa sig över. Pella själv läste böcker av Proust, Dickens och Cora Sandel – och hon gjorde det med ett självklart välbehag, utan känslor av skam. Detta var inte förenligt med min tonårskultur i början av sjuttiotalet, som utspelade sig i en atmosfär av V-jeans, tristess och symfonisk rock. Om jag hade velat spegla den atmosfären i litteratur så gav Kerstin Thorvall, Sven Wernström och Max Lundgren utmärkta möjligheter, i ungdomsromanens guldålder. Men böckerna om Pella ägnar sig inte bara åt spegling, utan gläntar på kommande liv. De kan man – till stora delar – läsa om, och växa med. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf låter tonåringens världsbild möta riktigt gamla människors, och mycket små barns. En åtta månaders baby kan vara en stark personlighet hos Claque, som kan väcka dina antipatier också. Att föräldrar och barn, särskilt mödrar och barn, inte självklart finner varandra är en del av Claqueböckernas tidlösa innehåll. Och oavsett ålder får alla inblandade behålla sin integritet – och sina passioner. Passion kan uttryckas av också av det lilla barnet. Som i ”Boken om Agnes”, när småflickorna har skiljts åt och katastrofen ligger i öppen dager. Om hjärtat är krossat spelar det ingen roll om man är sex eller sextio år. Så här uttrycker sig den lilla Anna-Lisa: "Jag var Agneslös, och inte mer med det. Hur gör man när man hänger sig? Jag hade en pilbåge. Kanalen." Humor kan vara hjärtskärande, om den paras med livsinsikt. Att våra personligheter är så oföränderliga, att vi liknar oss själva som barn, är också en drabbande insikt. Inte särskilt behaglig. Det borde vi tänka lite mer på i vår tid, när vi vuxna är så stressade att vi inte står ut med att se barnen ha tråkigt. Eller ens tanken på att de har tråkigt! Hur de egentligen har det orkar vi inte ta reda på. Läste nyss en rubrik om att folk minutplanerar barnkalasen för att för död och pina inte riskera att barnen ser sin egen leda i vitögat. Vad skulle inte Claque kunna ha gjort av det ämnet? Vissa ämnen har hon klokt avstått ifrån – sexualiteten till exempel. Det bidrar till den goda tidlösheten. Erotiken uttrycks mer genom längtan och bilder som man inte glömmer: som Älskar du mig? sa Ulf Jacob. Obetydligt, sa jag, och tänderna mjuknade i min mun. Jag kan inte minnas att jag saknade explicit erotik – den fanns ju att tillgå överallt annars, för den som var läskunnig. Nej, Pella tillfredsställde andra behov. De två avgörande var den moralfilosofiska diskussionen, och stilens narkomani. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöfs stil är beroendeframkallande. Och smittsam. En pretentiös hållning ser jag automatiskt som "ett öde stort som en mössa". Att det inte är min egen bild ha jag glömt för länge sedan. Men ingen når Claques avvägda blandning av under- och överdrifter, och utförda aforismer, som kan rymma en världsbild: "Om ett barn ber om ett snöre, avfärda det inte med en kyss. Ge det ett snöre". Punktens placering är också viktig. Den surt förvärvade slutsatsens markering. Ge det ett snöre. Claque strör gärna ut små hälsningar till egna inspirationskällor. Den märkligaste möter vi i Pellas andra bok, där hon just har blivit kär i Ulf Jacob. På artonårsdagen ger han henne en nött gammal bok: "Läs den tös, du får den. Den är skriven för sådana som du och jag." Den repliken är lömsk, riktad till intellektuella flickstackare med garden nere – den går via trosorna, kan man säga. Men om man ska sublimera den boken får man jobba duktigt. Boken är ”En drömmares dagbok”, av den schweiziske artonhundratalsförfattaren Henri Frederic Amiel. Det blir en ganska rolig effekt när Pella och Ulf Jacob står och smusslar med Amiel, samtidigt som deras kompisar diggar Sinatra och Bill Haley på skivspelaren i rummet intill. Amiels ”En drömmares dagbok” blev på sin tid kult bland hyperkänsliga esteter i hela Europa, kärleksfullt översatt av en av den svenska litteraturens mest ömhudade kritiker, nämligen Klara Johanson; hon som recenserade allt, som inte kunde låta bli att recensera solnedgången. Ett nytt drama varje kväl. Klara Johansons andra stora idol var för övrigt Fredrika Bremer, vars spetsprydliga feminism viftar fram överallt i Pellas farmor Majorskans referenser. Klara Johanson är en av Claques viktiga förebilder bland estetiska ironiker – Oscar Wilde en annan – och så förstås Cora Sandel och Marcel Proust. Anna-Lisa Wärnlöf bakar också Madeleinekakor, med kärlek och smör, och psykiska trauman. En bild som återkommer i flera av böckerna, troligen självupplevd, är när några några clowner fallit i vattnet, och människorna på stranden skrattar av hjärtans lust, men tystnar när en av clownerna bärs bort, drunknad. Barnet grips av en förlamande ödslighet, identiteten brister. Som det står i ”Boken om Agnes”: "Det slog mig att jag kanske inte var någon liten flicka. Kanske var jag en pojke. Kanske var jag ett troll eller möjligen något slags djur." Det är det som alla Claques texter handlar om. Att skrapa ihop de spridda bitarna av sig själv, till ett slags mönster.

Episode: 1586 Topsell's history of four-footed beasts and serpents.  Today, a zoology book.

Read transcriptAbout this episode: Stephen Drover has directed Macbeth before; twenty years ago, the day after it closed, he wanted to do it again. Now, as both adapter and director for Bard on the Beach in Vancouver, he's finally getting that chance. In this rich conversation, Stephen talks about approaching Shakespeare not as a sacred text to be served but as a living collaboration, asking not what the words inherently mean but what meaning is being created in this specific theatre, for this specific audience, right now. The conversation covers the challenge of stripping away cultural baggage around the witches, to building a post-environmental dystopia as the world of the play, to why Stephen leans into the brutal, blood-soaked reality of the play rather than sanitizing it for comfortable consumption. He also reflects on how becoming a parent has changed the way he receives Macbeth's deeply embedded anxieties about children and grief. This episode explores: Approaching Shakespeare as a collaborator rather than a proprietor — and what that means in practice for this production The concentric rings of Stephen's career: actor to director to artistic director to dramaturg How a late diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder and ADHD illuminates why theatre suits his brain so well New play development at the Arts Club and the 'one size fits one' philosophy And much more! Guest:

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials? (The King James Book of Demonology) *** Her gravestone, decorated with a cross and flowers, reads “Jerrilynn S. Mullins — Beloved wife and best friend.” It could also be added, “a victim of a crime that will likely never be solved.” (The Unsolved Mystery of Jerrilyn Mullins) *** It was on November 15th 1966 that Point Pleasant, West Virginia had its first experience with what later became known as the Mothman. Many believe it was either the cause of a horrific bridge collapse, or perhaps a harbinger of the doom that was soon to come. The mystery remains to this day – as do some of the eerie happenings in the area. (Mothman Attacks) ** 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson was found dead in his high school's gym – but the circumstances of his death have brought more questions than answers.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Roger Corman partners with Edward Small for TOWER OF LONDON (1962), starring Vincent Price and Michael Pate! In this blend of Shakespeare's Richard the Third, Macbeth, and Hamlet, Corman challenges the historical record and makes Richard III a "Vincent Price wife guy," but does it succeed as a horror movie?

  About this episode:  In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5, the title character states that, “Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.” That line resonates well with many during the opening months of the American Civil War. With war as their stage, many believed the struggle provided opportunity for personal acclaim and glory. Some were successful. Some were not—there at the beginning but not the end. And when politics, poor performances and toxic personalities reduced some to historical footnotes, there were some who had been waiting in the wings, took center stage and found lasting fame. For those who sought or were cast into roles as this nation was plunged into civil war, this is their story. A story—full of sound and fury—of those who were Early Players for the Union and Confederacy.            ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Simon Cameron Irvin McDowell Robert Patterson John C.

Christian Friedel zählt zu den herausragenden deutschen Schauspielern, die auch international große Beachtung finden. Seinen Durchbruch hatte er mit dem oscarprämierten Film Das weiße Band. In Elser – Er hätte die Welt verändert spielte er den Hitler-Attentäter Georg Elser, und in dem oscarprämierten Film The Zone of Interest verkörpert er den Auschwitz-Kommandanten Rudolf Höß. Zuletzt haben ihn viele auch in The White Lotus gesehen. Daneben ist Christian ein leidenschaftlicher Musiker. Seine Band Woods of Burnam bindet er gerne in seine Theaterprojekte ein, etwa Hamlet oder Macbeth. Wir hören, warum er früher zu viel Selbstbewusstsein hatte, andere damit genervt hat – und wann das gekippt ist. Denn heute erlebt man ihn ganz anders. Und was bedeutet es eigentlich, ein „historisches Gesicht“ zu haben? Er hat offensichtlich eines – hat er vielleicht schon einmal gelebt?

It's Memorial Day in the United States, a day devoted to remembering the soldiers who have died in service. Together, the society grieves, mourns, and attempts to unite. Similarly, communities can come together through actions like loving; giving; marrying; conversing; acting and doing; and speaking to one another. But what happens when individuals are blocked from the processes that bring a community together? In this episode, Jacke talks to author Sarah Beckwith about her book Shakespeare and Loss: The Late, Great Tragedies, which looks at Shakespeare's use of protagonists who are driven out (or drive themselves out) of family and society in plays like Hamlet, King Lear, Timon of Athens, Macbeth, Coriolanus, and Antony and Cleopatra. How (and why) does Shakespeare portray individuals who have lost their access to these vital concepts of human bonding? And what can we learn from Shakespeare's examples? PLUS Caroline Lea (Love, Sex, and Frankenstein) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read. The music in this episode is by Gabriel Ruiz-Bernal.

Tonsättaren Tebogo Monnakgotla hörde på Vetenskapsradion och blev inspirerad. Nu har hennes cellokonsert, som kom till av det, premiär i Konserthuset i Stockholm. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet sändes första gången i april 2026. Det var när Tebogo Monnakgotla hörde ett avsnitt av Vetenskapspodden som hon bestämde sig för att skriva sin cellokonsert om humlor. Det var brittiske forskare Dave Goulson som beskrev humlornas mörka sida – vad som händer mellan drottningen, arbetshumlorna och deras ägg nere i mörkret under jord. Han beskrev det som ett Shakespeare-drama som påminde om Macbeth.Och nu finns alltså verket Bombus av Tebogo Monnakgotla, som uruppförs i Konserthuset i Stockholm, under deras 100-årsfirande.

This week, Shauna and Olivia get a little witchy and expose the history of witches in pop culture. Going back as far as Shakespeare's trio of witchy prognosticators in Macbeth through the domesticated witches of the mid 1900s, today's heroic and/or villainous Marvel witches, the Junkies talk about how witches can be representative of themes like female identity, adolescence, autonomy, sexuality and power. Then they dish on their favorite witches, the worst witches, and what powers they'd love to possess if they were magical. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

In this episode, Macbeth, a mysterious new villain, uses Goliath and the Gargoyles as bait for a personal vendetta, and proves to be a formidable opponent. Meanwhile, in order to keep Goliath and his family safe, Elisa insists they move into the city's clocktower where their identities will be kept hidden. While the other Gargoyles seem willing to leave the castle, Goliath strongly opposes this plan and he lashes out at his family.

Going to the theatre can often feel like a magical experience. You sit in the dark, watching a story unfold in front of you, with your imagination filling in the gaps between the sets. It's unsurprising that theatre superstitions would be so plentiful. Intended to bring good luck or ward off bad luck, some of these superstitions have made their way into life outside the theatre. Look at how many people know it's bad luck to name Macbeth. I've grouped these theatre superstitions according to which part of the theatre or performance they refer to. I'm thrilled to also have a special guest for this theatre-based episode, so a big welcome to actor, musician and folklore writer, and contender for one of the loveliest people I know, Mateo Oxley!

Every theatre kid can tell you that Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth is a cursed play. Some believe that even saying the name of the play in a theatre where it is not being performed can jinx a production. Stories of misfortune, injury, and death haunt productions of Macbeth like the ghost of a slain friend. It has been suggested that the curse of Macbeth goes all the way back to it's first performance in 1606. However, evidence of this is sketchy at best. When did people start believing that there was a hex on Macbeth? Does it date to the 17th century or is something else going on here? Tune-in and find out how an arrow through Laurence Olivier's leg, Shakespeare in drag, and Charlton Heston's flaming thighs all play a role in the story.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summary This episode is dedicated to Tolkien superfan Stephen Colbert. May he return to The Colbert Report! No matter what, we know that he will go on to far, far better things than the crumbling edifice that was once known as CBS. Notes 1/ George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series 2/ Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892 (and died September 2, 1973). Tolkien’s imagined etymologies are phenomenal. 3/ Jane Yolen’s Sister Light, Sister Dark and White Jenna 4/ David Salo–a UW-Madison Alum and Tolkien linguist 5/ Winnie-the-Pooh lives outside the Hundred Acre Wood (thank you A.A. Milne). The Forest of Arden is the main location for Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Birnum Wood “marches” against Macbeth in Shakespeare’s Scottish play. 6/ Wagner’s Ring Cycle: Der Ring des Nibelungen. He wrote it between 1848-1874. The first opera (Das Rheingold) premiered in 1869, and all four premiered as a cycle in 1876. 7/ We miss you Tom Stoppard (Travesties, 1974). 8/ Übermensch (defined by Nietzsche, ruined by certain WWII Germans) 9/ Nope, we’re still watching Putin teeter! 10/ Wagner is basing his cycle on the Old Norse Edda, the Völsunga Saga, the Thidrekssaga, and the Nibelungenlied. 11/ Giorgia Meloni was elected Prime Minister of Italy in 2022. 12/ Renee Vink, “‘Jewish’ Dwarves: Tolkien and Anti-Semitic Stereotyping,” in Tolkien Studies Vol. 10 (2013): 123-145. 13/ Terry Pratchett is the best! Check out Discworld. Also, here’s a nice thread on the fact he isn’t a TERF. 14/ Just for fun, here’s Jon Stewart’s rant on the goblins in Harry Potter. Enjoy! 15/ Christopher Tolkien’s NYT obituary: “Christopher Tolkien, Keeper of His Father’s Legacy, Dies at 95.”

In the eighteenth century, Samuel Johnson famously argued that Shakespeare is enduringly popular because he “is above all writers, at least above all modern writers, the poet of nature; the poet that holds up to his readers a faithful mirror of manners and of life.” Johnson's view largely prevailed until the late twentieth century, when it was challenged by a growing scepticism about the existence of a general human nature. In Thinking Through Shakespeare (Princeton UP, 2026), eminent literary critic David Womersley pushes back against this change by exploring how Shakespeare's plays think through—and invite us to think through—deep human questions of lasting importance.Thinking Through Shakespeare explores four perennial human problems: personal identity, the distinction between civilization and barbarism, the relation between political power and religious authority and the tension between means and ends. It examines the history of these problems, from antiquity to today, and traces how Shakespeare engages with them in the great tragedies—Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth and King Lear—but also in his other plays. Without arguing that human nature is universal or unchanging, or that Shakespeare has some special access to timeless wisdom, the book makes the case that his drama is powerful because it serves as a forensic tool, probing rival perspectives on questions that have preoccupied many people in many societies over many centuries.By revealing in new ways how Shakespeare's plays are animated and driven by central human problems, and why he should again be viewed as the great poet of human nature, Thinking Through Shakespeare opens up a richer understanding and appreciation of his work. David Womersley is the Thomas Warton Professor of English Literature at the University of Oxford. His books include Divinity and State, Gibbon and the “Watchmen of the Holy City” and The Transformation of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. He is also the editor of many books, including the Penguin Classics editions of Gibbons's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson and David Hume's complete essays. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and of the Royal Historical Society. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS it's all about "To See or Not To See", and after hearing today's exclusive interviews with BEN WHEATLEY discussing NORMAL and ANEIL KARIA talking all things HAMLET, I think you'll agree that the answer will easily be – Must See. Both of these films are fresh and fantastic, from story to performances to production values. First up today is director ANEIL KARIA talking about HAMLET starring Riz Ahmed. It takes guts to handle Shakespeare and adapt and reimagine, but director Aneil Karia did an amazing job with HAMLET. One of the most interesting aspects of the film comes courtesy of Michael Lesslie's screenplay. Michael did a wonderful job adapting "Macbeth" for director Justin Kurzel, and once again delivers a Shakespearean adaptation that is relatable and attainable for today's audience with HAMLET. Switching gears and genres, we head to the small town of NORMAL with director BEN WHEATLEY. I love Ben Wheatley's work, be it High Rise, Free Fire, Rebecca, Meg 2, or now, NORMAL. Ben can tackle any genre and always delivers first-rate films with high production values, excellent performances, and, in many cases, go-for-broke action and intensity. I have to put NORMAL in the latter category. Directed by Ben Wheatley and written by the brilliant Derek Kolstad, and starring Bob Odenkirk, NORMAL is the latest collaboration from this powerhouse team. Described as a kinetic neo-Western action film with Odenkirk as an unassuming substitute sheriff with a troubled past who, after moving to a quaint Midwestern town, responds to a bank robbery and unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive. NORMAL is weird, wacky, and wonderful, brimming with originality, spurting blood, fantastic action, great deadpan humor, and first-rate performances. It is an absolute blast. When was the last time you watched folks covering up dead bodies and bright red blood with snow, and be thankful for having had a blizzard?? http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with visionary director Sam Gold. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how Alan Rickman got him his Broadway directing debut with SEMINAR, acting as a college student in THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK, adapting a graphic novel to the stage with FUN HOME, his approach to revivals, staging Shakespeare after the pandemic, his visual concept for THE BLACK EYED, working with a differently abled actor on CORSICANA, exploring sleeplessness in MACBETH, the central scene in AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, the difficulty of collaborating with ˝Glenda Jackson on KING LEAR, modulating the humor in ANGRY ALAN, casting ROMEO + JULIET, bringing THE GLASS MENAGERIE from the Netherlands to Broadway, why staging Annie Baker's plays is like choreography, modulating silences in CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION, and so much more. Don't miss this thoughtful conversation with a true genius.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Luckily for us, George R. R. Martin seems to have written A Clash of Kings in couplets. And it's not just basic narrative themes or tone that he explores two chapters at a time, there are more explicit structural similarities too. In this episode, we're exploring two strikingly different and hauntingly similar accounts of marginal characters who have been thrust suddenly onto center stage. Maggie is exploring the Spider's riddles and the true nature of power. We're working together to take another crack at our ongoing Stark Werewolves theory. Cam's tracking ghosts through the Westerosi countryside, and stumbling upon an old friend. The discussion culminates in a titanic, brand new Macbeth conspiracy that's even more fruitful and wicked than the one we investigated throughout A Game of Thrones.

Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Det var när Tebogo Monnakgotla hörde ett avsnitt av Vetenskapspodden som hon bestämde sig för att skriva sin cellokonsert om humlor. Det var brittiske forskare Dave Goulson som beskrev humlornas mörka sida – vad som händer mellan drottningen, arbetshumlorna och deras ägg nere i mörkret under jord. Han beskrev det som ett Shakespeare-drama som påminde om Macbeth.Och nu finns alltså verket Bombus av Tebogo Monnakgotla, som uruppförs i Konserthuset i Stockholm, under deras 100-årsfirande. Solist är cellisten Senja Rummukainen.I Vetenskapsradion berättar Tebogo Monnakgotla om hur hon tänkt med musiken, och vi får också höra forskarna Dave Goulson och Björn Cederberg om hur det gått för humlorna sedan vi gjorde det program som inspirerade till musiken.Lena Nordlundlena.nordlund@sr.se

1. Headline: The Birth of the Federal Theater Project Guest Author: James Shapiro On April 14, 1936, the Lafayette Theater hosted an integrated crowd for the premiere of an all-Black production of *Macbeth*. This era-defining moment was made possible by the Works Progress Administration under Harry Hopkins, who launched Federal One to employ artists during the Great Depression. Hopkins believed in putting people back to work in fields that suited their skills rather than manual labor. He recruited Hallie Flanagan, an experimental theater professor from Vassar College, to lead the newly formed Federal Theater Project, which eventually reached millions across twenty-nine states. (1)1939 OKLAHOME

3. Headline: The Innovation and Controversy of Voodoo MacbethGuest Author: James Shapiro Orson Welles modernized *Macbeth* by setting it in 19th-century Haiti, substituting traditional witches for voodoo drumming and chanting. This "Voodoo Macbeth"became a national sensation, touring cities like Dallas and breaking local Jim Crow laws. Despite its success, the production faced scrutiny; Langston Hughesexpressed ambivalence, questioning whether the project truly represented the Black experience or merely used Black performers to tell white stories for white audiences. The play's impact on interracial performance remains a subject of cultural discussion regarding representation and voice. (3)1938 ILLINOIS

1. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro discusses the 1936 premiere of *Macbeth* at Harlem's Lafayette Theater, a landmark integrated event during the Jim Crow era. Shapiro introduces his book, *The Playbook*, detailing the Federal Theater Project's role in American democracy. He highlights Harry Hopkins, FDR's advisor who spearheaded the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Hopkins established "Federal One," a program designed to employ artists, musicians, and writers. Hopkins insisted that professionals, such as violinists, be employed in their specific fields to entertain and serve the public during the Great Depression. (1)1915

3. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro details the creation of the famous "Voodoo Macbeth" in Harlem, directed by a twenty-year-old Orson Welles. Replacing Shakespeare's traditional Scottish setting with 19th-century Haiti, the production substituted witches with voodoo drummers and chanters. Welles, influenced by the rise of global fascism, framed evil as a systemic cultural force rather than a personal failing. The production was a massive hit, eventually moving to Broadway and touring nationally. This tour broke Jim Crow boundaries by bringing a professional Black cast to states where Black citizens lacked political representation. (3)1917

4. Guest Author: James Shapiro James Shapiro explores the complex reactions to the "Voodoo Macbeth," noting subtle racism in white critical reviews. Black intellectuals like Langston Hughes remained ambivalent, questioning if the project truly told Black stories or merely placed Black performers in "white" roles. The focus then shifts to Sinclair Lewis's *It Can't Happen Here*. Although MGM initially planned a film adaptation, they scrapped it to avoid losing the German market and to appease censors. Hallie Flanagan seized the opportunity, convincing Lewis to adapt the story for a simultaneous theatrical opening in twenty cities. (4)1928

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 184 - Fiona Crombie - Production Designer In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with production designer Fiona Crombie (HAMNET, THE FAVOURITE, SNOWTOWN). Despite being raised on her father's film sets in Australia, Fiona didn't enter the family business until she dropped out of law school. Throughout our conversation, we discuss Fiona's general design process, her strategies for making the most of the given resources on a film, her typical day-to-day schedule during production, and how she communicates with her fellow filmmakers. Having worked on many period films, Fiona shares with us how she balances the realities of the budget with the intended vision of a film, and she reveals how she and the crew on MACBETH justified the choices they had to make under strict limitations. Fiona later reflects on working under close watch at Hatfield House on THE FAVOURITE, and she discusses collaborating with cinematographer Robbie Ryan (Season 1, Episode 148) and living a production designer's dream: seeing the whole set in a single shot. We also discuss Fiona's work in HAMNET, and she reveals the key piece of direction she received from director Chloé Zhao that unlocked the design of the film's version of The Globe Theatre. Plus, we learn what it's like to make a movie while pregnant. - This episode is sponsored by Picture Shop & Aputure

Many readers turn to Shakespeare for the beauty of his language or the power of his stories. But in Thinking Through Shakespeare, Oxford scholar David Womersley suggests that the plays offer something else as well: a way of exploring some of the deepest questions about human life. Womersley looks at tragedies like Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear to show how Shakespeare places audiences inside difficult moral and philosophical problems. The plays raise questions about identity, power, and the tension between doing what is right and doing what is personally advantageous. Rather than presenting clear answers, Shakespeare lets these ideas collide on stage. In this episode, Womersley explains how Shakespeare's plays become what he calls “crucibles” for thinking. As characters struggle with competing values and impossible choices, audiences go on that journey with them—testing ideas, reconsidering assumptions, and confronting the same enduring dilemmas that have shaped human thought for centuries.
