Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the renowned and versatile Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith (1728 - 1774). There is a memorial to him in Westminster Abbey's Poet's Corner written by Dr Johnson, celebrating Goldsmith's life as a poet, natural philosopher and historian. To this could be added ‘playwright' and ‘novelist' and ‘science writer' and ‘pamphleteer' and much besides, as Goldsmith explored so many different outlets for his talents. While he began on Grub Street in London, the centre for jobbing writers scrambling for paid work, he became a great populariser and compiler of new ideas and knowledge and achieved notable successes with poems such as The Deserted Village, his play She Stoops to Conquer and his short novel The Vicar of Wakefield.

There's £16m to spend, as long as we can pay it back, but how much will be going to top up players who have taken a pay cut recently? That, plus, will there be any crowds at matches for the rest of 2020, including a Grand Final behind closed doors? We also say goodbye to Nigel Wood, or do we?

Does William Shakespeare belong in the theater and not the literature department? Nigel Wood is a Professor of Literature at Loughborough University, specializing in early modern literature and the staging of dramatic texts. He joins us today to discuss the evolution of Shakespeare's plays as a result of reading what was intended to be performed. I will be asking Nigel about the significance of stage directions in addition to the written dialogue, and what impact Condell and Heminges' publication of the First Folio might have had on the course of Shakespeare's enduring legacy thereafter. Are we doing Shakespeare a disservice to study his works as literature? You'll learn: >> Does Shakespeare belong in literature or are we mistakenly placing him there? >> What about original practice techniques? Does that help us get closer to real Shakespeare? >> Turns out early modern theaters had a playbill. Find out what it contained and how it was used >> How does the stage itself impact the performance? Are the stage directions we can read designed for a specific space? >> We talk Cymbeline, Titus Andronicus, Oedipus, and more!
