Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Bartlett

"Cock" vum Mike Bartlett, am prüden US-Amerika dacks "The Cockfight Play" genannt, fir all sexuell Polysemie ze evitéieren, ass eng Dräiecksgeschicht vun der manner gewéinlecher Zort: eng homosexuell Koppel steet virum Enn, dat ënner anerem, well ee vun hinne Sex mat enger Fra hat. D'Anne Simon hat dat zeenesch minimalistesch Stéck 2024 op d'Bün bruecht, dat den Ament an enger Reprise am Kapuzinertheater leeft. D'Emma Hizette an de Jeff Schinker waren et den Dënschdeg kucken.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca discusses King Charles III by Mike Bartlett. He explores the play's themes of duty and identity, as well as the role of the monarchy in the era of liberal democracy.

QueerStory is back with a down to earth look at Elton John. Also, off to the theatre with the latest production of Cock, we chat to 2 of the actors.Cock returns to London in an intimate new staging Wednesday 22nd April – Saturday 2nd May 2026 COLAB, 22 Southwark Bridge Road, SE1 9HB Press night: Thursday 23rd April 2026 Following sold-out runs in Canada and tours to Japan, South Africa, and Brazil, Cock comes to London this spring in a raw, intimate new staging from Canada's acclaimed Talk Is Free Theatre. Originally written in 2009 by acclaimed British playwright Mike Bartlett, Cock feels newly urgent in this bold reimagining which examines the play through a contemporary lens, embracing fresh experimentation to ask how shifting identities and a changed world reshape the questions at its heart. After the 2022 West End adaption that had everyone talking, this new iteration offers London the chance to encounter Bartlett's play again in a strikingly different, close-quarters setting, with an entirely new cast.

The whole of Catholic social doctrine rests on the answer to the question: What is a human being?In this episode, we discuss human nature and human dignity. What does it mean to be made in the image of God? What makes human beings unique in comparison with the rest of nature? Do human beings have a particular dignity, or are we just intelligent animals?Understanding what a human person is helps us to see why human beings must always be at the centre of every society.This podcast relies 100% on the generosity of listeners.

Whoever exalts race, or the people, or the State, or a particular form of State, or the depositories of power, or any other fundamental value of the human community - however necessary and honorable be their function in worldly things - whoever raises these notions above their standard value and divinizes them to an idolatrous level, distorts and perverts an order of the world planned and created by God; he is far from the true faith in God and from the concept of life which that faith upholds."Hot Fuzz, dir. Edgar WrightAlso, for anyone who teaches English or Philosophy, I recommend the play Juniper Blood, by Mike Bartlett. The plot basically revolves around the question of how to balance our responsibility to the planet with our responsibilities to the people closest to us. The question 'what is the value of a human being?' is really at the heart of the play. Highly recommended as a text for students (mature students -- the play contains a few sexual references and depictions of drug use), super relevant to the questions we're exploring in this episode.
