Our 5-star movie discussions continue with a deep-dive into the 1984 masterpiece Amadeus, directed by Milos Forman. Adapted from his stage play, Peter Shaffer’s examination of the ersatz rivalry between Mozart (Tom Hulce), a prodigious genius, and his traditional-minded admirer/covetous underminer, Salieri (F. Murray Abraham). On top of the heaps of… Continue reading
The Oscars may be over, but we're keeping the party going with a live roundtable review of Amadeus--which racked up a symphony of statues 40 years ago!In Milos Forman's adaptation of Peter Shaffer's play, F. Murray Abraham plays Italian composer Antonio Salieri, whose dreams of musical immortality are shattered when he encounters child prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). The film opens with Salieri in an asylum, confessing to a priest that he'd killed Mozart years earlier--and much of Amadeus takes us behind the scenes of their tumultuous relationship.This was a first-time watch for Ian and, as you'll soon see, Amadeus is another one of those "They Should've Just Stopped Making Movies After This Movie" movies.

Elijah Wald's 2015 book, “Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan and the Night That Split the Sixties,” traces the events that led up to Bob Dylan's memorable performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. The book is about Dylan, but also about the folk movement, youth culture, politics and the record business. For the writer and director James Mangold, Wald's work provided an opportunity to tell an unusual story about the musician.“You could structure a screenplay along the lines of what Peter Shaffer did with “Amadeus,'” Mangold told the Book Review editor Gilbert Cruz. “I don't really know what I learned about Mozart watching “Amadeus.” But I do know that I learned a lot about how we mortals feel about people with immense talent.”Mangold's film “A Complete Unknown” is a chronicle of Dylan's early years on the New York folk scene, and it avoids easy explanations for the musician's genius and success. “What if the thing we don't understand, we just don't want to understand,” said Mangold, “which is that he's actually different? That he's just a different kind of person than you or I?”In the second episode of our special series devoted to Oscar-nominated films adapted from books, Cruz talks with Mangold about making a film centered on one of music's most enigmatic figures.

Childhood, and specifically adolescence, is a period of life that can be pretty tough and at times traumatic. It's very fertile ground for literature but it's not easy to get right. In this episode, I'm joined by Michael Amherst, the author of the upcoming novel The Boyhood of Cain which deals with the period of adolescence, and themes of moral & sexual turmoil. The book feels timeless, with an eeriness that mirrors the protagonist's growing confusion about himself and the world around him. Michael and I sat down for our chat in-person today, in a recording studio in West London. It was a pleasure to speak with him, and The Boyhood of Cain is a great read, which I can't recommend strongly enough. It's not out yet, but it's slated to hit the shelves on February 13th. So, keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming release or pre-order it through any self-respecting bookstore. Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading! Michael Amherst's four books were: Peter Shaffer, Equus (1973) John Steinbeck, East of Eden (1952) Damon Galgut, In a Strange Room (2010) John Cheever, Collected Stories (but particularly ‘Goodbye, My Brother') (1978)
Pochi compositori si sono guadagnati una cattiva reputazione come quella di Antonio Salieri, il compositore che, secondo popolari chiacchiere, avvelenò Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Questa voce è nata, o almeno si è diffusa, grazie all'opera teatrale Amadeus di Peter Shaffer e al successivo adattamento cinematografico. Era una commedia eccezionalmente buona e un film eccellente. Ma ecco la verità . . . Salieri non ha ucciso Mozart. Mentre Salieri e Mozart erano effettivamente contemporanei e probabilmente erano in competizione per varie commissioni, la portata della loro rivalità è stata notevolmente esagerata. Chi era Salieri? Antonio Salieri è stato un importante compositore italiano dell'epoca classica, noto per le sue opere, le sue sinfonie e la sua musica da camera. Nato il 18 agosto 1750 a Legnago, città della Repubblica di Venezia, Salieri mostrò una precoce attitudine per la musica. Riconoscendone il talento, i genitori lo iscrissero a lezioni di musica con musicisti locali. Poi, all'età di 16 anni, Salieri si trasferì a Venezia, dove studiò con l'eminente violinista e compositore italiano Giuseppe Tartini. Durante il suo soggiorno a Venezia, Salieri affinò le sue abilità di violinista e compositore, attirando l'attenzione dell'élite musicale viennese. Nel 1766 Salieri si recò a Vienna, dove continuò la sua educazione musicale sotto la guida di Christoph Willibald Gluck. Vienna si rivelò un terreno fertile per la fiorente carriera di Salieri, che si affermò rapidamente come figura di spicco nel panorama musicale della città. Il talento e la dedizione a Salieri valsero il patrocinio dell'imperatore Giuseppe II, grazie a cui nel 1788 fu nominato compositore di corte. Questa prestigiosa posizione fornì a Salieri le risorse e il supporto per comporre opere, tra cui Axur, Re d'Ormus (1788), Les Danaïdes (1784) e la sua versione di Falstaff (1799), giusto per citare qualche esempio. Le sue opere furono ben accolte ed eseguite nei teatri di tutta Europa, consolidando la reputazione di Salieri come uno dei principali compositori del suo tempo. Oltre alle sue composizioni operistiche, Salieri scrisse anche un numero considerevole di brani strumentali, tra cui sinfonie, concerti e musica da camera. Anche se in genere non si percepisce il genio di Mozart nelle sue composizioni, esse sono caratterizzate dalla loro eleganza melodica, dalla ricchezza armonica e dall'orchestrazione magistrale, che riflettono lo stile del periodo classico. Nei suoi ultimi anni, Salieri continuò a comporre in modo prolifico e rimase una figura influente nella comunità musicale viennese. Ha fatto da mentore a una nuova generazione di compositori, fra cui Ludwig van Beethoven e Franz Schubert, lasciando un'eredità duratura sullo sviluppo della musica classica. Antonio Salieri morì il 7 maggio 1825 a Vienna, lasciando dietro di sé un corpus di opere ricco e variegato che continua a essere apprezzato ed eseguito fino a oggi. Nonostante le successive polemiche che circondano il suo rapporto con Mozart, i contributi di Salieri al mondo della musica permangono come testimonianza del suo talento e della sua dedizione. Alcune composizioni di Salieri Opere Armida. Falstaff. La Scuola de' Gelosi. Un'opera buffa. Opere corali La Passione di Gesù Cristo. Oratorio per coro, orchestra e solisti. Requiem in Do minore. Opere orchestrali e concerti Sinfonia in re maggiore (“La Veneziana”). Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra in si bemolle maggiore.
Hey everybody! This week, we are discussing Milos Forman's adaptation of Peter Shaffer's Amadeus. Listen as we breakdown this story of jealousy, resentment, and admiration for a talent that is just out of reach. Enjoy!
Lucian Msamati has played leading roles on our most famous stages: Salieri in Peter Shaffer's Amadeus at the National Theatre, Iago in Othello at the Royal Shakespeare Company and Estragon opposite Ben Whishaw in Waiting for Godot at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London. He started out performing – in his words – ‘for farmers sitting on beer crates in rural Africa, with tables for a stage'. And when he decided to leave Zimbabwe, where he began his career, to see if he could make it in the UK, he had to work as a cleaner to pay the bills. His perseverance paid off: as well as success on stage, he's appeared in high-profile TV shows, including Game of Thrones and the Number One Ladies Detective Agency. After his role in Amadeus, it's no surprise to find Mozart among his musical passions, which also include Satie, Tchaikovsky and an unusual track by Stevie Wonder.Presenter Michael Berkeley Producer Clare Walker
Peter Shaffer's award winning play Amadeus has just opened at Theatre on the Bay starring Alan Committie as Salieri and Aidan Scott as Mozart. This thrilling drama received worldwide acclaim with the film Amadeus and is always an incredible experience in the theatre, even though the theory Shaffer puts forward about Salieri murdering Mozart is not true. My guest on People of Note this week is Alan Committie who talks about his experience with this coveted role.
TroupEnigma, in collaboration with Performing Arts of Woodstock is proud to present Peter Shaffer's award-winning play Equus, directed by Michael Juzwak.

Mozart, sa vie, son œuvre, sa musique, son rire, sa femme, lʹempereur et Salieri. Lui, auquel Milos Forman consacre un film multi-oscarisé: Amadeus, sorti en 1984. Lʹhistoire de Milos Forman est une fiction rocambolesque et rococo, lʹadaptation dʹune pièce de théâtre homonyme de Peter Shaffer qui signe le scénario du film. Ce nʹest donc pas la vraie histoire de Mozart et de Salieri. On sʹen approche pour mieux sʹen éloigner et raconter un drame en musique.
Today, we journey back to the 18th-century Vienna with the remarkable cinematic masterpiece, "Amadeus".This 1984 film, directed by the virtuoso Milos Forman, is an opulent dramatization of the imagined rivalry between two of history's most influential composers - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri. From a screenplay penned by Peter Shaffer, based on his own stage play, Forman constructs a lush tapestry of jealousy, divine talent, and the human tragedy tied to both.We marvel at the tour de force performances of Tom Hulce (well remembered Dan!) as the youthful prodigy, Mozart, and F. Murray Abraham as the envious Salieri. The characters' intricate psychological interplay presents a rare dual protagonist-antagonist dynamic that resonates even decades later. And the meticulously crafted score, reverberating with Mozart's timeless symphonies, almost functions as a character itself."Amadeus" raises profound questions about talent and mediocrity, grace and obsession, making it a film that continues to stir heated discussions among us Dads. Tune in as we delve into the complex themes, the immortal music, and the brilliant cinematography that won this film eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture.Whether you're a Mozart aficionado, a historical drama enthusiast, or a film lover who enjoys a compelling narrative, "Amadeus" offers something for everyone. Join us as we traverse this cinematic symphony, only on this week's episode of Bad Dads. Let's 'play' on!We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

On today's episode of The Metropolitan Opera Guild Podcast, we are joined by lecturer Phillip Gainsley as he explores the music and drama of Don Giovanni. Based on the legend of Don Juan, Mozart's masterpiece has remained on the operatic stage since its premiere in 1787 and has gone on to become a cultural behemoth, inspiring playwrights such as Peter Shaffer and other composers such as Liszt and Tchaikovsky. On today's episode, we will delve into what makes this evergreen opera as popular today as it was in the 18th century.

I always wondered, how did Amadeus, an expensive period film starring two relative unknowns, get made? The answer was there in research, starting with a hilariously contentious relationship between writer Peter Shaffer and director Milos Forman, continuing with the outsized, colorful character of uber-producer Saul Zaentz, and concluding with the rejection of bigger stars in favor of Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham. I've loved this movie forever, and I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know in researching this episode.Trying to figure out, "What should I stream tonight?"

Tras las vacaciones de Semana Santa, el equipo de Remake a los 80 vuelve a la carga. En esta ocasión, nos reunimos al son que toca un personaje histórico, mítico, clásico, pero revisado con ciertas “licencias poéticas”. Milos Forman se acerca a la figura mítica de Amadeus Mozart, desde la perspectiva del dramaturgo y guionista Peter Shaffer, que escribe una historia que no llega a ser un biopic y que incluye como narrador, e incluso casi diríamos que verdadero protagonista de la cinta, a Antonio Salieri. Y por encima de ambos, sobrevolándolo todo, la oscura sombra de la envidia. Y de la muerte. Analizamos cómo surgió esa idea, y descubrimos qué parte tenía de verdad y cuál era el porcentaje de invención de la misma. Vemos cómo se seleccionó a los protagonistas, al frente del os que se encuentra un semidesconocido Tom Hulce, que entabla un pulso interpretativo con un inspiradísimo F. Murray Abraham. Disgregamos algunos detalles técnicos, punto fuerte de la película; y, por supuesto, detenemos nuestra lupa en la figura del gran Amadeus. Reflexionamos sobre su personalidad, sobre sus altas capacidades, y sobre sus conflictos internos, en un semiapartado especial que hemos llamado “remake a la psicología”- Contextualizamos y descubrimos a la persona tras el mito, arrancándole la máscara y mirándolo directamente a los ojos. O al oído. Y es que, por supuesto, hablamos de la música, esa banda sonora y esas composiciones que han perdurado en el tiempo y que siguen elevando el alma humana. Para tan ardua tarea, contamos con la colaboración del inconmensurable Rafa Rus, ya habitual en el programa, y con un Highlander de excepción, el escritor Raúl Cueto, autor de una extensa biografía de Mozart y entendido en todo lo que rodea su figura. Y es que toda ayuda es poca, ante la ausencia de nuestro “millenial”, Javi García, y a pesar del retorno del “hombre simbólico” Óscar Cabrera. Juan Pablo Molina maneja la batuta mientras ríe compulsivamente ante los chascarrillos soeces y vulgares de su equipo. Esperemos que el programa, con sorteíllo sorpresa incluido, sea de vuestro agrado, queridos remakers. Eso sí, no nos envidéis, que lo que hacemos en el estudio es solo y exclusivamente por y para vosotros. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Escúchanos también en www.remakealos80.com Recuerda suscribirte a nuestro canal de You Tube para estar al día de nuestros directos https://www.youtube.com/@remakealos80 Síguenos en Instagram y Twitter @Remakealos80 y búscanos en Telegram, te dejamos el enlace a nuestro grupo de para que compartas tus opiniones e interactúes con nosotros: https://t.me/joinchat/GXsRJYMd3wQVBG2v
I dreamt of being a pilot as a child and grew up watching The A-Team and my favourite character was 'Howling Mad Murdock' played by Dwight Schultz. I was obsessed with aircraft so he was the one I wanted to be as his character could fly any plane or helicopter that he had to. Years later I saw him with Jamie Glazov and Anni Cyrus on 'The Glazov Gang' and was intrigued at his strong Conservative Christian stance while delivering common sense commentary. This is the first interview he has done for many years so it truly is an honour to have Dwight join Hearts of Oak on this audio only discussion. (he is the voice king) We talk about those early days treading the boards in the theatre and as a star in Hollywood, working on the biggest TV programme in the world and Dwight shares some stories of how his strong conservative stance got him into much hot water. He truly is a breath of fresh air in an increasingly demonic industry that opposes truth at every turn and mocks all who have a Christian Faith or Conservative Values. (*Peter takes to the skies regularly and has held a pilots licence for many years) A respected performer on Broadway, Dwight Schultz found everlasting fame by playing the certifiable "Howling Mad" Murdock on the action series "The A-Team" (1983-86). A living, breathing cartoon with a seemingly endless selection of voices and accents at his command, Murdock provided the air power for the A-Team's clandestine adventures, provided that his compatriots could break him out of the mental hospital where he resided. One of the show's most popular and memorable figures, Murdock ensured Schultz steady work on television and on the big screen playing Reginald Barclay in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" An accomplished voice actor, Dwight can be heard in numerous hit computer games and in countless animated shows. Interview recorded 21.3.23 *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.

TRANSCRIPT [0:22] Hello Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up with Dwight Schultz, Howling Mad Murdock from the A-Team. He came in on a audio. Dwight hasn't done interviews for years. I was absolutely delighted to have him on when you talk to one of your childhood heroes who you grew up watching him in A-Team. And he was my favourite simply because he was a pilot. And I always wanted to grow up and that's what I wanted to grow up to be. But I'm talking to him about being a conservative, being a Christian in the industry, in Hollywood, in the movie industry. And actually we delve more deeply into his Christian faith, Roman Catholic background, and what it means for him to be a Christian in that industry where you're pulled every way and where your faith is ridiculed, mocked, and everything stands against that. So great conversation about some of his experiences and what it is to be a Christian and to be a conservative in the industry. We talk about his voiceovers, I mean his voice is legendary. Talk about that and why he stepped away from doing kind of in front of a camera in 2001, why that was, and all the voiceover and then I think 100 video games, his voice is in a whole other world, a whole other industry. So, I know you will enjoy listening to Dwight as much as I enjoyed speaking with him. [1:48] It is wonderful to have Dwight Schultz with us today. Dwight, thank you so much for joining us. [1:54] Oh, it's my pleasure, Peter, for my reintroduction to the world of podcasting, radio, television. Well, this is something I've only been doing three years, So I know you have much more experience back in the day, but we'll get into some of that. And obviously I... Remember you fondly growing up. I think I was six when The A Team first came out, which is now 40 years ago. I'm sure I didn't want it when I was six. But your role obviously is as Howling Mad Murdock. So we can take just a little bit memory lane before we go into and talk about actually being a conservative in the industry and what that is like. But I mean, it ran for five seasons, 83 to think 87. Do you just want to let us know how you actually ended up in that role? Well, actually, it actually only went four seasons, real seasons, so it's not technically considered a success. That's true. I ended up in that role because I made a comedy tape at the Williamstown Theatre Festival around 1979, 1980. [3:18] Somewhere in there. And the comedy tape, and for two years, I didn't hear anything. And then suddenly I started getting calls from my agent to audition and to go to Los Angeles to audition. and it was because of this comedy tape. And I found out it had been making the rounds for two years and eventually Steve Cannell and Frank Lupo, his co-writer saw it and requested me to come. Joel Thurm, who was the vice president of NBC at the time, however, he had different ideas about this character. And anyway, I went in and they flew me out to Los Angeles. [4:03] And my wife was out here. She wasn't my wife at the time, but I had been dating her since 79. And she was out here living in Los Angeles, which was difficult. I mean, I was glad to come out here for any reason. And I had never. It was a joy, but I came in and I auditioned and it was a total flop. It was a bomb. I mean, you walk into a small room with 25 people, 30 people, and there was not a single laugh. There was nothing. There was no... And then they sent me out and they sent the director, Rod Holcomb, out with me to talk to me. I came back in, I did the same audition, And everybody was laughing and I had no idea why they were laughing now. And they weren't laughing before, unless someone said laugh when he comes back. You know, that's the way it was. It was just an astonishing thing. And they said, you got the part. [5:02] And then, uh, and this is the, really, this is the nub, right? So, uh, I, they shoot in Mexico and I went down to Mexico. And when we were down there, I was fired. I was fired. I was fired. Rod Holcomb came into my little room and he said, I'm afraid it's not going to work out. And I said, oh, what? He said, it's not Steven. It's not Frank. It's the would-be's at NBC. They just don't think you're quite right for it. And so they took me out of my little room and they put me in with a stuntman who I loved. I just loved him. I mean, it was incredible to work with these guys. And so there I was with the stuntmen for the rest of the shoot down in Mexico. And when we came back to the States, they were editing it and putting it together as we were shooting it, right? [5:58] I got a call from my agent said your dials were great. I said, what are you talking about? I had no idea what they were talking about. This is 82, right? This is 1980. I don't know what you're talking about. He said the dials, the dials, the testing. The audience loved you. You're the best dials that anybody had. So I was written back in. I was rehired before I was fired. And so you can't make this stuff up in life. You can't. So it just turns out that they had a different view of what this character should be like. And I had another view. And Stephen Cannell and Frank Lupo were in my camp. And so they had to write me back into the first five episodes, which they had kind of written me out of. And that's the way it started. And I was, [7:04] as anybody would be, you know, I got to work with some of the finest old actors [7:12] that I had grown up with in the 50s and 60s. And it was a thrill. The four years were a thrill. I mean, it was an absolute thrill. And I got along beautifully with everybody. And Stephen J. Cannell [7:24] was a conservative. I mean, I'm lucky. I'm fortunate there. I was fortunate because some of my other experiences were not so fortunate, working with people who knew I was a conservative and weren't going to have a conservative on their show. That was the way it started back then. But anyway, so it was four years of, we didn't really have a studio. We were working on locations and I got along famously with everybody. And it was a joy. It was four, believe me, it changed my life completely and totally. I never thought I would end up in Los Angeles and never leave. Well, what was I mean, it's intense, I guess, that you're living and breathing it. And most people, I have no idea what that's like. Most people go to a job and they go home, but you're there nonstop. What's that kind of intensity, especially for years with it's the same people? It's the same people. But listen, as an actor, I mean, I've been working I've been working professionally since nineteen sixty nine. This gig, it's over 50 years. Right. So I had, I have before the 18, I never knew what my next job was ever. I never knew what I was doing next. And after the 18, I never have known [8:50] what I'm going to do next. I've never had a consistent job other than those four years. And I thank God for them every night. I hoped it would go longer, but this was not the intention, nor the background of Stephen J Cannell. His shows were two years, three years. And then they name of every single writer that we had in the first year moved on to their own series. They all became producers. And this is not the way you have a successful series for an, actor, which is selfish, right? You want to go at least five years, seven years. But they all, you have to have somebody there who is consistently behind it, pushing it, making sure everything is the way it's supposed to be. But that was not the way it was. But I did everything that you can possibly imagine, I think, on that show. And as the 14-hour days, 15-hour day, I loved it because I knew that there was going to be an ending. I knew the day I started that there was going to be a last day. And so and I think that's the way life is, actually. [10:02] And so take advantage of what you have and enjoy it and hope for the best. But I savour it every minute and I look back very fondly. When you say it wasn't a success, I remember thinking this is the biggest thing ever. This is phenomenal. I watched it as a kid growing up. So it did seem to be the kind of TV show that you would watch. I mean, the only other one I remember at the same time was I think Knight Rider at the same time, but they were the shows to watch. Yes, they were. But you see, we were on NBC, Grant Tinker and Brandon Tartikoff, and their moniker was quality programming. And Grant Tinker, and well, Tartikoff gave an interview for the New York Times, right? This is not an example of our quality program, right? Really, this is it. That's what he said. You know, their ideas was Hill Street Blues, which they had on. This was their idea of quality programming, not this schlock that's number one. [11:12] This is not it. And I sent Grant Tinker a telegram and George Peppard said, don't do it, pal. Don't do it. Don't do it, Peppard said to me. I sent it to him and I said, this is third rate executive ship. I said, we do the best work we can and we're number one, why are you doing this to us? And then he sent me a telegram back, which I have kept, saying, well, you're assuming that that was true, what you read. And I said, well, I checked with the writer, the journalist, quote unquote, who he said, he talked to you and this is what you said. And indeed he did. And this is a tag to all of this. He, after the show was over, it was cancelled, several years afterwards, I have received a phone call from his assistant saying [12:13] Brandon wants to talk to you. And I said, sure, I'll talk to him. And I met with him in this basement office, 20th Century Fox. And I walked in and there was nobody there but Brandon Tartikoff sitting at a table and he apologized to me. [12:31] His daughter had been in a very serious accident and it changed his life. It was one of these things. And he apologized to me. I'll never forget it. And this does not happen in show business. It does not happen. And I said, thank you. Thank you so much for that. I said, and then I went into my spiel about being an actor. And that I, you know, you do the best job you can, whether you're doing Shakespeare, whether you're doing a show, or whether you're doing The A-Team. You do the best job you can. It is the same job if you're good and you love your work. It doesn't matter. You do the best thing, the best you put. You're not walking through it. I said, that's what we were doing. And we happened to be number one. And why did you rain on the parade? You know, I asked him and he gave me some explanations as to the the exigencies at the top of a TV network. And I, so at any rate, that that that's the experience. That's the beginning and end of that experience, really.[13:43] And I carry with me. How did you cope with that fame? And you were what, 30, 32, so you weren't young, young. But still, when you're thrust into that level of publicity, how did that affect you personally and how did you cope with that? Well, you know, I was fortunate that I was working since I had been working since 69. I spent 13 years in regional theatre. I spent years in New York, three Broadway plays. I had a lot of experience. [14:17] Really, they walk in the boards, doing all the grunt work, getting there. And I, fame was not a, I was known and all my interests in theatre were to be, this is a joke actually, but never the same actor twice. I mean, that's it. You didn't want to do the same thing. And here I was, and I forced the idea that this actor, this character would be different in each episode, which the vice president of NBC said, that's the way you comb your hair differently. You should be the same. We want you to be polite on this. And I said, no, no, no, no, no, I don't wanna do that. I wanna be different in every show. And so I maintained, I think, because of the work that I had had. When you do the classics, when you're in, and I don't mean this, when you have the great opportunity to play a Shakespearean role. [15:22] You understand something about talent, about what goes into writing, brilliant writing, and then schlock writing. I mean, you see it all. And when you've been given that opportunity, There's a humility that hits you. So fame was never something that I wanted. I wanted to be able to – and I've had this ability. I've been able to go to a department store or take my daughter to a mall and not be recognized, which is – I'm telling you, I have worked with – I mean, I worked with Paul Newman and Paul Newman was, it was not a, he, he told me he couldn't go anywhere. He was a prisoner of his fame. [16:12] George Peppard was a prisoner of his fame. I mean, the closest I think I've ever gotten was somebody said, your voice sounds familiar, do you know my brother? I'll say, no, I don't know your brother. Then every once in a while, somebody recognizes you, but it's a curse. [16:33] It is a curse, really. If you have a family, if you want a family life, if you want privacy, which I think is necessary for survival in this business. I mean, I've seen a lot of actors drop to their knees and open cardboard tubes and pull drugs out. You know, and that's fame. And you ask them, that's it, it's driven. You know, you gotta have that fame, you gotta have that fame, you gotta. And it's not what I wanted. I really am a repertory actor, that's it. I'm a repertory actor. I spent one year in Houston, at the Alley Theatre in Houston, and it was one of the greatest years I've ever had. And I never wanted to leave. And someone told me, that's why you have to leave. I would have stayed there. I could have stayed there. But my agents all told me, you have to leave. You can't stay here, or your career will be over. And I said, but I love this. And they said, you won't love it when it dries up there. You know, you have to go to a bigger, a bigger yard in essence. But I'm really a repertory actor. That's it. [17:47] Your last I think your last TV role was 2001. I will get into the voice side later, but your last 2001. Why did, why did it end there? Was a personal experience? Was it just choice? Oh, yeah. No, it was a really a personal experience. It was CIA. 2001 was... [18:17] I went in for wardrobe fitting, and we were at the Memorial Cemetery, Veterans Cemetery down in Wilshire Boulevard, and that's where it was being shot. And I walked in, and this is nothing, I won't mention the name, I shouldn't have even said what the show was. Just someone in the wardrobe room. We were talking about 9-11. We were talking about what had happened in New York. I had a lot of friends in New York, of course, obviously. And she said, I don't have any connection to that. I don't know why everybody – I just don't have any connection to it, you know? She still connects? And she rubbed it off, you know? And I said, I mean, life was – rules were at that point not easy to come by, actually. And I said I can't do this, you know, I can't work. This to me was a sign, a sign from God. I'm not joking. You look for these things. This was a sign that this was the wave of the future. There was going to be a lot of denial and there was going to be, and it's complicated. I mean, I'm not judging anybody. [19:43] But for me, I had an opportunity to move into another direction, and I decided to do the other direction because I could be anybody, anything in voiceover work. Video games were just becoming big at the time, and the whole business was very big. And voice work was something that, as an actor in the theatre, I always did. If I couldn't find the voice of the character, I couldn't find the character. And so that was it. I mean, the fates came together at that time. And I was doing radio at the time on a fairly regular basis with a friend named Don Ecker. And I just moved in that direction. [20:36] I mean, there were opportunities there, but I knew things had changed at that point. Yeah, well, we'll get into that. I want to pick on being a conservative in the, the movie and TV industry, and that seems to be opposites. We've seen more and more, and I think it probably gets worse. And you're Roman Catholic, you're conservative. And what has been your experiences having a faith and also having a conservative belief? How does that fit into the showbiz industry? What has it been like for you? Well, going back, if you look at, [21:23] if you look at the world that we're in today, the Judeo-Christian world, which is, and I have to say if I have one criticism of modern Christianity prior to today, and I mean going back, because there's a lot of things I could say about today, which we will, I'm sure. But one of the things which always struck me me was about Christians, was their antipathy for the Old Testament, the Torah. It is Judeo-Christianity, and if a Christian doesn't understand that the Old Testament is their testament, there's, a problem. And they don't, indeed. In Bible study, the number of times that I heard Christians say oh, that's not my God. I want to get out of this. I want to get to my God. Well, that's two gods. [22:24] I mean, there is the Trinity, which is three gods in one, right? I mean, we do have that mystery, but we are monotheistic. And Christ's Old Testament was his Old Testament. He was here to fulfil the Old Testament. This is what he said, that it is the Father. You're speaking of your father. This is Christ's father and the Torah, the law as it was laid down is your law. It went on to the New Testament. [22:58] You know, and Catholics, I mean, I was raised a Catholic, and when I found out that it wasn't, thou shalt not kill, but thou shalt not murder, you know, the wheels begin to turn, and you try to think as best you can about these things. But there was a disconnect between the Old Testament in the New Testament. But that has to do with my criticism of my own faith. In motion pictures in the film industry, it was under attack, as it is today. Christianity is—and Judeo-Christian ethic, the West, everything that has been built through the Judeo-Christian ethic is under attack and they want to destroy it. [23:55] And basically at the very front of that is the communist wagon, and it always has been. And you can go back to 1918 or whatever and read about it, and they tried every which way from Sunday to do it, and they always failed, and now they've found another way of doing it. And they have succeeded by going after our children when we didn't know they were going after our children. But as Christians, we're pretending that it wasn't important to be mothers and fathers and the nuclear family really wasn't that important. Well, then why were they trying to destroy it? And why has it been number one? [24:35] Because and I'm going to say something else here in a second, which I'm pointing to, there's a quote. This is the technique that they have used, and you didn't know it, but you felt it all along. You felt this, but you didn't know it. [24:57] A quote by, it's attributed to Oscar Wilde. And I think it is his, I don't think, I don't think, I think it is his quote. And it is pithy and accurate and brilliant and beyond belief descriptive of everything. Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power. And boy, when I read that, I said, is this, did he really say this? Is it? And it hit me from every direction. The entertainment business in every which way is about sex. Novels, books, television, commercials, life itself, clothes, it's all about sex. And it goes back to God's edict to humanity. [25:56] Go forth and multiply. This is the power of procreation, is sharing in the power of creation. That power was given to all of us. We don't know, I mean, people have talked about it, but you don't, we don't know where that came from, except from God. And it is something to, what do we do with these gifts? Do we throw them away? Or do we say these are precious? [26:30] And you see by the people that you meet, those who recognize the gift and those who don't recognize the gift. And you are asked not to recognize it on a daily basis. And as a child, if you think back to your childhood when sexual urges, whether you're—and of course, I can't tell you what a woman goes through, but I can only tell you what a kid goes through—boy, when you're going through puberty, the whistles and gongs are going off, and you're you're having dreams at night and you can't stop it. [27:03] Everything is at the wrong moment and you're not purposefully thinking about it, but it's a force to be reckoned with. And you understand it as you grow older that this force is to bring you to someone else, to love, to have a family and to create the next generation and then everything changes after that. If you can contemplate that greatness, that extraordinary thing, and realize that the world seems to want to distort it, well, you realize the powers that are set up against Judeo-Christianity. And who say, we don't want the Ten Commandments, we don't want that Old Testament rag, we want freedom, free, and of course I went through that in the 60s and 70s in school, and I saw it. I mean, I was part of it in that it bounced off of me at every moment. And being a Christian, you stay in it. [28:10] I stayed in my Christianity. This is another tale. When I got to school, to college, I mean, I had 12 years of Christian education, right? I wanted to be an actor and I went to Towson University, which had a great theatre program. And it was the first time that I was in a purely secular environment. The thing that killed me was that everybody hated their parents. Everybody hated their parents. I mean, nobody wanted to, nobody had a good thing, I loved my parents. And I used to say, I used to have a long bus ride home and I used to sit in the bus looking out the window saying, why do I love my parents and I can't find somebody who loves their parents? What is that? Well, I can't say that I answered the question, but the answer was in the destruction of the family. [29:10] It was in the destruction, and it had started then. Not my mother and father. And then here's the next aspect, and I think that this plays a very big part in all the trouble we're having today. I never wanted to do something that shamed my parents, that they would be ashamed of. I felt shame. I still do. I feel shame. It was given to me by my mother and my father. Now, none of us are perfect. I know my mother wasn't perfect, my father wasn't perfect. I'm not perfect, but I feel shame and shame is rare. Now, look, I was listening to your podcast [29:58] with Father Calvin Robinson. Right. Goodness, you make me blush. No, no. And no, but he said something. He said he said something about drag queens in the sanctuary. [30:19] I mean, we're talking about there's no shame if you do that. Before, shortly after, I guess we communicated, I went to here in Los Angeles, I went to the Church of the Nazarene in Pasadena, and I saw two, I don't know if you know these individuals, Dennis Prager, do you know Dennis Prager? Dennis is a Jewish scholar. I've been following him since since 1982, when I came to Los Angeles. He had a program called Religion on the Line, one of the great minds and thinkers of all time. In fact, many times after listening to him, I would say to myself, I'm a Jew. That's what I am, I'm a Jew. [31:05] And then there's Eric Metaxas, who is a Christian writer, thinker, and these two were in a program, an evening called ask a Gentile, Ask a Jew. And it was a great evening, two hours of just two brilliant people talking about the state of religion. What was the final outcome, sad outcome of the evening? Metaxas and Prager both came to the conclusion that we, organized religion, has failed us. It has failed us. The churches and the synagogues have failed us. They have not stepped up to defend their own dogma, their own beliefs. And we are left flailing, individuals almost. And we are struggling to connect, which is what you and I are doing right now. [32:08] I was dumbfounded by that, but at the same time, that's what I'm thinking. That's what I've been thinking for quite some time. And all of these things, you know, we are under attack from every direction. And in your own mind, what do you do? Do you throw it away? Do you say, well maybe I'm thinking the wrong thing. No, no, no, that is not the case. Because when you think about why our children, [32:47] and if you've seen this now, why our children are being told that they don't know what their sex is, Metaxas brought this up in the evening that this is one of those key cardinal points. You can see. This is a perversion of reality, because you know what the truth is. If you have a Supreme Court justice, as we do in the United States, who says, I can't define a woman, and that children, 10 year old children, 11 and 12 year old children, secretly, don't tell your parents the hallmark of a lie. Keep it secret. Don't tell anybody. Don't even tell yourself. [33:26] You know the hallmark of concealment, consciousness of guilt, everything that you know is, they are trying to tell you you know nothing and everything you know is not to be believed, but they are to be believed. That children, there are not boys and girls, that men can give birth, that there are, you know, these things that we, it's incomprehensible what's going on and it's all to destroy right from wrong. Well, that's because it's kind of, I look at it a different way. One is the difficulty of living in a society where evil is slightly different, where it's a slippery slope and it may be difficult to distinguish what you believe with something that's slightly different. But we see such a chasm now between what is true, what is right, and the collapse and degradation of society. So in theory, that means it is easier to be a Christian because it's easy to be distinct, because what you face is the opposite of what you believe. And and that's why it's curious and interesting to see churches going down this line whenever there's, [34:38] there's no question of what we see is the opposite of what is written in scripture. Oh, there's no question. You know what you're saying? You can be crushed. You know, you can be crushed at the same time. You have to deny so many things to accept what's going on. And yet you say to yourself, how do I stop it? The war that's going on in Europe at this moment. And this is why I love Bannon. I mean, I just, I adore him. I never got to, I would not, and I'll say this, Andrew Breitbart brought me out of the closet politically, really politically. I was doing a lot of things, but saying a lot of things that were in the basket, but he truly brought me out. When was this? When was this? . This is a through also through Gary Sinise and friends of Abe. [35:48] Boy, this is this is in the, I have to say nine. I'd say 2000 to 2005, 2006. By 2008, yeah, I have to say around 2005, 2006. [36:09] I was like a Jew wandering in the desert alone and wondering where God was. And a friend of mine who I worked with on Fat Man and Little Boy, a film about making the atomic bomb, called me up, his wife was a casting director, and he said, you know there are conservatives just like yourself who get together on a regular basis. I said, no, I did not know that. He said, would you like to go to a meeting? I said, I would love to go to a meeting of other people. I went and it was Gary Sinise and Andrew Breitbart, and a lot of other extraordinary people who were all, and this is it, seeking, trying to make connections. And so Andrew said, you have to become public. He had big Hollywood and big, you know, all of, he had all of these big websites. And he asked me to write an article. [37:09] He heard me in private describe a situation that I was in, in which I was at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. I had just come back from working with Charlton Heston and I had a long discussion, which was just a wonderful discussion in the hallway at the Amundsen Theatre about Ronald Reagan becoming president, right? And this individual who was a big producer in Hollywood overheard me talking about Ronald Reagan, and he said, Oh, so you're a Reagan a-hole, you know? [37:58] And yeah, that's right. That's right. And I was, I got to tell you, I mean, this was a big guy at the theatre too, that I was working, and I went cold. I went cold. I said, yes. I said, you know, not as a, you know, and I pulled back. I was, you know, he was attacking me, obviously, with his language. And I was shocked. I was totally numbed. And I didn't want to continue with this discussion, because otherwise there would have been a blowout. But that was how in 78, 80, I understood that there was this chasm there. And [38:51] it only got worse as time went on. As I said, fortunate, it is not a zero-sum game. Fortunate there was for me, and I did have an audition for this producer. There was a writer there and a brilliant writer. We had a fallout, but he's just an extraordinary writer. His name is Tom Fontana. He wrote some very, it was St. Elsewhere, producer, writer for St. Elsewhere, The Wire, many wonderful programs. And he did not know about this problem that I had and invited me to read for a part called Fiscus in St. Elsewhere. And I walked in and there was this producer [39:37] who has passed away since now. And Breitbart wanted me to write about him. And I did, and I regretted it, but I don't regret it. But anyway, so I walked in and he was there and he said, oh, what are you doing here? And to this audition, and I said, I'm here to read for the part of Fiskars. He said, it's not gonna be a Reagan blank hole on my show. So you know what that audition was like, right? You know, I mean, and I walked out and I just, I said, God, is this going to be it? You know, is this the way it's gonna be? And at any rate, so, but I finally did write this article about him and I lost a lot of friends for writing it. And then at the same time, and I was one of the first actors for Breitbart to use my name. This was what he wanted because a lot of pseudonyms, writing for Big Hollywood, And which I understand, please, I did not do this, I did this [40:40] for personal reasons, but not because I'm brave or anything of that nature. I just was at the point where I was going to tell the truth. This is the way it's done. And you are excluded on a cocktail napkin. And that cocktail napkin is sent around to other producers and you're excluded. It is not a zero sum game because there was Stephen J Cannell and he hired me. [41:03] But the majority of people will not, unless, of course, you bring in 30 or 40 million dollars over a weekend. And then they'll hire you. But the attack on Judeo-Christianity, the attack on conservatism, which is a hallmark of Judeo-Christianity, is now at its height. It's never been greater than it is today. Well can I, you're obviously being a Christian, being a conservative within an industry within the workplace, but then you had your podcast, then you're doing, you mentioned Breitbart on the Glazov Gang, that's something different. You're stepping outside and actually you're much more public. I mean was that a conscious decision to actually begin to use radio, use the internet, use TV and speak of these issues as a Christian and conservative. Yes, absolutely. And the reason for that was I, you know, if you're, [42:13] make a point, like I would not, as Murdock from The A-Team, go out and evangelize. I wouldn't go out as Murdock from The A-Team, vote for. Right? [42:34] You're taking something that is not related and you're trying to use it to get somewhere. Where it's not as, to me, as honest as separating yourself out, creating a podcast, creating another world. This is where I talk politics. This is where I talk my personal life, my personal beliefs. This is where I do it. And so you come to me and then we go out from there. And I associate with people who talk about religion, and I associate with people who talk about politics, and I talk it there in that realm. [43:19] There's obviously a mixture. You can't divorce yourself from who you are and what you've done, and I don't. But I've never hidden my religion. I've never hidden my Christianity, as some people do. That's not the way to do it either. Yes, I am a Christian. I'm a Judeo-Christian. I believe in the Old Testament and the New Testament. And it's, for me, not a contradiction in terms. And so I express it that way. I express it here on my own podcast when I had it. And if ever anybody wanted to talk about it, I was willing to do it. And I attended every event, and with Jamie and [44:10] the lovely Anni Cyrus, that was just wonderful. That was absolutely wonderful. I went to a David Horowitz retreat, where I met Jamie. I had the great fortune, an opportunity to speak at a Freedom Concert event. Many of my public heroes were there from various political websites. And I got to meet them. And that's where I met Jamie. And he invited me on to engage with him on his program, the Glazov Gang. It's so funny. But, you know, and I met just so many fabulous people. And there are so many things right now, which I see things now and can talk about things that I couldn't prior to coming out with Andrew. And that, of course, is Bannon's big thing, Andrew. Andrew, I mean, he's – and Andrew changed – just brought the world together. I mean, his vision, his understanding of what was really going on was unique. And he was right into – he was dead on about everything. And I still don't agree with most of his friends. [45:38] I have very dark feelings about what happened to Andrew, even though I know he had a heart problem. But when the, I mean, you know what I'm talking about. I don't want to get into that aside, but I know the darkness that's out there and a voice like his had to be stopped. And they don't stop at anything. They don't. And we have now been witness to it in the United States for five or six years. Nothing stops them. Nothing. And they will lie to your face. They do not care because they are the voice of something that is dark. [46:20] That's not a knife you feel in your back. That's me scratching it. Oh, but I feel blood. No, that's not blood. You know, that's it. That's it. Can I finish off with your voice? Now, it is always wonderful to have a guest coming on and the sound is absolutely beautiful, crystal clear. You're coming through. Obviously, your voice is your how you make your your living now. And you've you've moved away from being kind of front of the camera to doing voice. Tell us what that is like, because it means you talked about fame and that means you're not recognized. It is your voice. And I remember watching, you were the one who, again, using your voice in all different ways, even back as in The A Team. But tell us about, how that works in the industry. Well, in the industry, it doesn't. You have to be very fortunate. One of the first casting directors I ever met was Sylvia Gold, was her name. And she met with me, my first agent introduced me to her, and she said. [47:36] Oh, darling, she said, you don't understand. No one wants to hear that stuff. That's in the theatre. They want to hear you. They want to hear your voice. It's your voice that's important. And I said, no, it's not. I said, that's not what it's not. You know, I'm a vampire. I'm a thief. I listen to other people. I'm a mathematical idiot. And God gave me this ability to hear people's voices. And I said, I remember being seven years old. I was about seven years old, and I remember the first impression I ever did, which was, James Mason in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, he had a line, it was, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me, present as him. And I said this out loud to myself, I am dying now, and the Nautilus is dying with me. And the more I did it, the closer I got. And I would spend time, and I became an Anglophile, and I started listening to Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole, and I found that if I put headphones on, their voice came from the middle of my head, and I could steal from them. I could do impressions of their voice, and even if it wasn't perfect. [48:52] It became another voice, another character. And I began to identify with my relatives that way. I started doing impressions of my relatives and they did not like it. And I started doing impressions of my teachers at school and the kids liked it, but the teachers didn't like it if they heard it. And that's how it started. And I just had an ear for people's voices and dialects in the United States. And that's it. And in terms of, well, if I'm coming across crystal clear, That's because somebody recommended this microphone, the Heil PR-40, which is a dynamic microphone. Most people are wedded to very expensive condenser mics. But this is a rejection, it's a cardioid. People can open the door and come into the room and you won't hear it, you'll just hear me. Art Bell used this mic and he was always extolling the virtues of this mic, and I listened to him. And so, you know, and it's inexpensive, comparatively speaking, so it's available. [50:04] And so I, but I have spent years studying and recording people's voices and listening to them and trying to reproduce them. And one of the great thrills in my life was, I was, I knew somebody who was intimately involved with Laurence Olivier. [50:29] Peter Shaffer, and he wrote Amadeus, right? And he was just an absolutely spectacular man. And he gave me the play Amadeus to read before it was on Broadway and in Great Britain. And he was just a sweetheart of all sweethearts anyway. So I went into a bathroom and I did my impression of Olivier doing the Othello chamber scene. And I gave it to someone who was with Peter and asked them to listen to it to see if I caught any of it. And he said, this friend said, Shaffer listened to it and said, well, he said if Larry was very, very sick. But it was, you know, it was one of those, I, God, to have, you know, I, I, I think I listened, I don't know, I can't, I can't repeat anything that I've ever done myself, but I, I think I listened to the chamber scene from Othello, Olivier's Othello a thousand times. And that's how you learn when you're a young kid. That's how you learn. And you say, oh, my God, every comma. I followed it along, and he followed the text. [51:49] Amazingly, he followed the text and was dead on. And those are the kinds of things that I became very attuned to people's voices, and recorded them. And I have a lot of recordings and sometimes I still listen to Burton's Hamlet. And Gielgud, of course, directed it. [52:21] And it was considered a disaster on Broadway, but there's some great, there's just to capture, it is a miracle that I can sit here and listen to people who have passed away as if they're in my room. It is, it is a miracle, a technical miracle, but a miracle, or listening to the great choruses, motion picture choruses from 1958 and 60, and I listen to these grand voices, and I say, most of these people are not here now, But I'm listening to them and I get emotional about it. So anyway... You've also embraced just finally about. I think I looked through and you've done the voice for like 100 video games. Well, yeah, I guess that's just if you're you're good at something, then that can be used across different, different industries. Oh, exactly. and video games are bigger than motion pictures now. And the hardest thing I was ever asked to do, and we were asked to do this periodically, you know, these great actors, right? [53:31] Sir Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, right? Those two individuals. Do impressions of both of them, to do them in the same thing. They were in X-Men, right? So I can't do them because they're so close. And you just do. You're asked to do it. They can't make it to do a pickup, right? So they ask an actor to come in and do a line, half a line. That's it. I can't do Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart at the same time. But I can't. I can't do it because they're too close. And yet they're different. But I have not been able to. I mean, you know, you in Ian McKellen with Bilbo Baggins, you know, he's called the essence. [54:19] Patrick is done it. Patrick is down there, too. But I can't do them together. I cannot do them together. I have to do them separately. And Patrick is he was a delight, by the way. Very liberal, very liberal. But one of the great things about Star Trek is my greatest experience that I've had in Hollywood, because there was little to no politics on that set, and everybody was a delight to work with. Everyone, absolutely everyone. And walking around on the great Paramount lot was a thrill. Anyway, sorry, I'm getting side-lined. I loved all those people. I did. I really did. Dwight, I so appreciate you coming on. It's absolutely wonderful to speak with you and hear about your experiences in the industry. So we really do appreciate your time today. Well, it's my pleasure and I am very grateful. It's been a long time since I've done anything like this. Oh, maybe it'll become more regular. Well, thank you, Peter. Thank you so much, Dwight. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Requiem in D minor, K. 626 - VI. Benedictus Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart started composing the Requiem Mass in D minor (K. 626) in Vienna in 1791, following an anonymous commision from Count Franz von Walsegg, who requested the piece to commemorate the anniversary of his wife's death. Mozart passed away on December of 1791, however, having finished and orchestrated only one movement. The Requiem is widely considered one of Mozart's greatest works, and its composition process is surrounded a shroud of mistery and myths, usually attributed to Mozart's wife Constanze, who had to keep secret the fact that Mozart hadn't completed the work in order to be able to collect the final payment from the commision. It is commonly accepted that Mozart finished the Introitus, and left detailed sketches of the Kyrie and Dies Irae all the way to the first eight bars of the Lacrimosa and parts of the Offertory. There are now several completions of the Requiem Mass, though the most common by far (considered the standard version of the piece) is the one by Franz Xaver Süssmayr. He not only completed the movements Mozart left (borrowing an unespecified amount from Joseph von Eybler's previous attemps at completing the work) but also added several movements of his own: Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus Dei. He then added a final section, Lux aeterna by adapting the opening two movements which Mozart had written to the different words which finish the Requiem Mass. The myth surrounding this work was increased by the fictional rivarly between Mozart and Antonio Salieri first expressed in 'Mozart and Salieri', a play by Alexander Pushkin, which in turn inspired an opera by Rismky Korsakov of the same name, the inmensely popular 1979 play 'Amadeus', by Peter Shaffer, and it's 1984 film adaptation by Miloš Forman. The Requiem is scored for 2 basset horns in F, 2 bassoons, 2 trumpets in D, 3 trombones (alto, tenor & bass), timpani (2 drums), violins, viola, and basso continuo (cello, double bass, and organ). The vocal forces include soprano, contralto, tenor, bass soloists, and an SATB mixed choir.
Dana and Tom discuss their 1980s Best Picture winner selection in Amadeus from 1984: directed by Milos Forman, written by Peter Shaffer, starring F. Murray Abraham, Tom Hulce, and Elizabeth Berridge. Plot Summary: In the winter of 1823, Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) is in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. A priest is summoned to hear Salieri's confession concerning his statement that he killed the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). In his confession, Salieri reveals his contempt for Mozart's obscenity, immaturity, and drunkenness. He cannot understand how God had chosen Mozart has his instrument to bring heavenly music to the world. As Mozart's drunkenness and poor behavior destroy his health, marriage, and reputation, leaving him sick and broke; Salieri uses the situation to seek revenge on God and Mozart and prove he is more than mediocre.

Everything is dark. I'm walking around on stage, selling the idea that I can't see anything. And it's giving me a golden opportunity to find the truth of the story. You see, I'm playing Carol, the lead in a play called Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer. In it, a sculptor and his fiancée (me) borrow expensive antique furniture from our out-of-town neighbors to try and impress an art collector. But then the power goes out (hence the black), and everything goes wrong (hence the comedy). What's really cool about the experience, though, is that the lighting is transposed. When the stage is lit, the cast is seemingly in darkness, and the characters can't see anything. But only when the stage goes dark can the characters finally be able to see themselves and their surroundings. This ended up being my favorite play to perform because I got to embody a character so far removed from what I'm used to. My special guest Brittany Ishibashi is no stranger to this experience. She lives her life immersed in story and has been a working actress since high school! In this episode, she and I talk about playing characters, effective elements to enhance storytelling, and discuss questions like: What's the inside-out vs. outside-in approach to playing a character, and why is it crucial to gaining audience empathy? Why is an audience of just one person all you really need? And how can you easily and effectively open a story? What you will learn in this episode: How characters and story (in all its forms) can truly change or save lives How to encourage the spirit of play in your life and business Why music is such a universal part of the human experience in storytelling Who is Brittany? Born in Orange County, California, Brittany Ishibashi was raised by musical parents. Seeing her love for the arts, they encouraged her to try out the different facets of the entertainment world. Her passion for musical theater emerged at a young age, and she became a triple threat in dance, music, and acting. Brittany got her first big break right after graduating from high school when she was cast on J.J. Abrams' Felicity. She continued her education in Theatre, Film, and Television at UCLA while establishing her career and has gone on to work consistently over the years on numerous TV series. She's been on shows such as This Is Us, Political Animals, Grey's Anatomy, Grace and Frankie, The Office, Supernatural, and more. Most recently, you can watch Brittany play the villainous Tina Minoru on Marvel's Runaways, Claire Cormier on the CW's Tom Swift, and Tamiko Masuda on CBS' Hawaii Five-0. She also played the villain Karai in Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jeff, and their three children.

ESSENTIEL, le rendez-vous culture présenté par Sandrine Sebbane Spécial Théâtre avec Mélanie Page pour « Black Comedy » au Splendid et Julien Poncet pour « Tout ça pour l'amour » au petit Montparnasse À propos de la pièce : «Black Comedy» La pièce phénomène débarque enfin en France ! Dans ce classique anglais de la comédie, totalement burlesque et déjanté de Peter Shaffer, la grande soirée organisée en l'honneur d'un éminent collectionneur d'art va virer au désastre suite à une panne de courant qui plonge tout un immeuble dans le noir. BLACK COMEDY, c'est une pièce où le spectateur voit tout ce qu'il n'est pas censé voir… Et il a bien de la chance. C'est un colin-maillard chaotique, une pièce chorale où personne ne tient plus debout. Une course effrénée contre la montre où rien ne se passe comme prévu. BLACK COMEDY nous confirme une chose : dans le noir, tout est possible. Surtout le pire. À propos de la pièce : «Tout ça pour l'amour» Texte ciselé, verbe savoureux et parfois fleuri interprété avec fougue et passion, ce seul-en scène s'adresse à tous. Ceux qui ont adoré découvrir la littérature à l'adolescence pour ne plus la quitter… et ceux qui ont détesté ! Evocation virevoltante et captivante de l'Antigone de Sophocle en passant par Flaubert, Rimbaud, Camus... Ce spectacle prend sa source dans l'histoire vraie d'une femme, enseignante et d'un amour pur et absolu.
The boys watch "Amadeus" (1984), a period drama directed by Miloš Forman and written by Peter Shaffer.
Hola excursionistas, soy José Luis Arribas y éste es el súper sonido de 'Ventajas de viajar en cine', desde 'Siéntelo con oído'. Procuren todos su billete de ida, acomódense en su butaca y durante este tiempo háganme el favor de parar sus relojes. El viaje comienza. Hoy: 'Amadeus'. Antes de hablar de la magnífica película 'Amadeus', debemos hacerlo de su director, Milos Forman. Este realizador no puede ser simplemente nombrado, al lado del título de esta gran obra, y directamente pasar al análisis de la misma. Milos Forman merece bastantes líneas y en el espacio de hoy tendrá su lugar de honor. Checo de nacimiento y emigrado a New York, Milos Forman fue un director y guionista de cine, formado en la escuela de cine de Praga, con varias películas en su haber, reconocidas no solamente por premios internacionales sino por la calidad de las mismas, elevadas a obras de culto y a formar parte de ese listado de grandes títulos de la historia del cine. Entre esas joyas destacan dos y brillan con luz propia: 'Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco', de 1975, y 'Amadeus', de 1984, ambas premiadas con los Óscar a la mejor película y al mejor director, en sus respectivas ediciones. No podemos olvidar otros filmes como 'Valmont', 'El escándalo de Larry Flynt' y 'Man on the Moon'. De la primera, 'Alguien voló sobre el nido del cuco', destacar el papel protagonista de Jack Nicholson y el logro de hacerse con los cinco principales premios tanto en la academia como en los Globos de Oro. Basada en la novela de Ken Kesey, cuenta la historia de un criminal condenado a cumplir su castigo en un hospital psiquiátrico, lugar donde su personalidad chocará con las reglas estrictas impuestas por otro personaje igual de intenso, la enfermera que dirige la clínica. El deseo por escapar del primero, tras existir la posibilidad de permanecer perpetuamente en ese lugar, desbordará los acontecimientos, algo que se siente inevitable en todo momento. Y del drama con toques de comedia, del peculiar sanatorio y sus habitantes, saltamos a la película que encabeza y preside nuestro espacio: 'Amadeus'. Perteneciente al género de cine histórico, esta inmensa obra cinematográfica se basa en un texto teatral de 1979, escrito por Peter Shaffer, guionista y dramaturgo de origen británico. En el año 1981, Milos Forman, presencia el estreno en Broadway de 'Amadeus', y aunque personalmente no se siente atraído por las historias basadas en biografías de músicos, emprende junto a Shaffer la tarea de escritura del guion de una película basada, al igual que la obra de teatro, en la figura de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Tras cuatro meses de trabajo mano a mano y un intenso esfuerzo, finalizan su redacción, teniendo ante ellos un argumento fascinante, en el cual se narra la vida de Mozart, contada por otro insigne compositor, Antonio Salieri, narrador y antagonista de la historia que los envuelve, incluso hasta la muerte de Amadeus, oscuro acontecimiento rodeado de sombras. Existen diferencias entre la puesta en escena en los teatros y la versión en cine, pero sobre todo en lo concerniente a la realidad y a la ficción, ya que aunque se basa ligeramente en aspectos de la vida de ambos compositores, verdaderamente no se trata de un documental que relata con rigor la vida de Amadeus. Hablemos del narrador: Salieri, anciano, en tentativa de suicidio y culpándose como autor de la muerte de Amadeus, cuenta la historia en confesión. En el patio de butacas habla al público y en la película el personaje lo hace frente a un sacerdote. Como decíamos, existían factores distintos entre teatro y cine. Aparte del ya mencionado, otro fundamental reside en la música: no hay música en el escenario; pero en la película lo es casi todo y se alza triunfante como uno de los personajes principales. Es un espectáculo desbordante que envuelve la trama. Las conspiraciones de Salieri contra el joven y extravagante Mozart, recién llegado a la corte del Emperador José II de Austria, alimentan la narración. Sus motivaciones hacia la destrucción del oponente crecen en su interior fruto de la rabia, abocado ahora a un plano secundario, adelantado por el recién llegado, el músico nacido en Salzburgo. Aunque Salieri aborrece al intruso que le ha desplazado, una profunda admiración se mezcla en sus sentimientos. Salieri comienza con una sana esperanza, emocionado por conocer a Mozart pero, cuando ocurre el encuentro, torna a una terrible decepción, y desde ese punto todo es cuesta abajo. Ahora ya no soporta ni su risa, esa risa especial y marca personal del personaje de Amadeus. La realidad histórica diverge completamente. Esta película de género de época solamente es un ejercicio de conversión de una leyenda en una ilusión, en un torrente de imaginación, que modula al antojo de sus creadores, la vida real de Amadeus. Y en esta realidad no existe un Salieri con la amenaza constante que devora sus entrañas, ni sus maquinaciones contra el joven compositor. Lo que sí posee fundamento es el reconocimiento merecido a una de las grandes películas de los años ochenta y de la historia del cine en general, obra de culto en mayúsculas, recibiendo un total de cuarenta premios entre Óscars, Globos de Oro y Bafta. Todo es comprensible y encaja a la perfección: la música, las interpretaciones de Tom Hulce como Amadeus Mozart y Murray Abraham como Antonio Salieri, la solidez del guion y la dirección de Milos Forman.

This time, our focus is on the 1992 Disney film ALADDIN. After some reviews, we discuss how this is a movie about people pretending to be something they're not; we talk about what ‘diamond in the rough' means (both to a 10-year-old Rob, and today); and we think about media depictions of class, from country-house dramas to inner-city soap operas. Next Up Next time (sticking to the format!), our focus turns to the 2019 live-action remake of ALADDIN.

We're back and hoping to get rocked by Amadeus ('84)! We list a lot of musicals in this one for some reason. Also, we make a pact to start ramping the drama in our lives up to 11 every so often #JustSalieriThings
I denne episode står den på pure cinema i form af Milos Formans udødelige biopic-klassiker "Amadeus" fra 1984. Filmen som kompromisløst lader os forstå, at de fleste er så middelmådige og ubegavede, at de aldrig forstår at sætte pris på (det nærmest guddommelige) geni - ikke før lang tid efter, at det er gået til grunde pga. af vores ignorance og jalousi. Hård kost serveret i form af alt andet end middelmådighed, men derimod pragtpræstationer af F. Murray Abraham (Salieri) og Tom Hulce (Mozart), fabelagtig skrevet af Peter Shaffer, gennemført og stilsikker fotografering af Miroslav Ondricek - og selvfølgelig sublim instruktion af den tjekkiske mesterinstruktør Milos Forman. I denne episode kommer vi også med vores bud på misforståede genier i filmverdenen - altså, kunstnere som vi først for alvor vil forstå dybden af om mange år.
Since tie immemorial, people have been telling stories. Storytelling has served as a way of building coherent, cohesive community. It is also a way to pass down wisdom from earlier generations for the benefit of future generations. The wisdom of storytelling could be applied to today's ecological challenges, such as climate change. But this has not occurred often enough. Ever since the invention of the printing press, the written word has rapidly eclipsed the voice of oral tradition— similarly, truth-telling, once the function of stories, has been largely usurped by modern science. Of course, oral storytelling has never gone away, and it continues to thrive even as it has shape-shifted into other forms, such as film, theatre, dance, hip hop, and spoken-word poetry. When it comes to climate change, there has been a rush to rely on modern science. Science is the accepted means for predicting and controlling the weather. But the discipline of climate science has a very short history. We have been only recording daily temperatures for less than a century-and-a-half. The oral tradition, on the other hand, has been recording changes to the climate for millennia. Virtually all cultures have flood stories that date back to the ending of the last Ice Age. Some stories date back to the Stone Age. Moreover, stories have long provided a means for living in harmony with all our relations. They teach not only by telling us what to do, but what not to do. We can learn from everyone and every creature—even if the only thing we learn is how to identify a bad example. During times of crises, the perennial wisdom of storytelling is needed more than ever. How can storytelling augment the work of climate science in understanding what is unfolding today? How can traditional stories provide the larger wisdom we need to reset our imbalance with the natural world? Join us as we explore the continuing relevance of storytelling today, with our guest storytellers Regina Ress and Valentina Ortiz. “We are hard-wired for story. We listen to story and parts of our brain light up…” ~ Regina Ress ________________________________ “The wisdom is in the old stories. But as storytellers, we make the old new… Oral tradition is alive.” ~ Valentina Ortiz _______________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________ Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, of Basque, Aragon Spanish, and Jewish descent, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks, 2020) and the Nautilus award-winning Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time, Humanity, and Nature (North Atlantic Books, 2015).

She received the Cenzontle de Oro prize for her storytelling and has taught storytelling workshops in many different institutions, from universities to rural elementary schools, specializing in the creation of personal stories as the reconstruction of individual and community history. She began her career as a theater actress in the 70s, and from 1993 on, she has been a percussionist in several bands and orchestras, playing tropical, swing music, and also performing in Afro-cuban and Mexican traditional ensembles. Valentina has written and performed the play Bigu La Tortuga with the troupe “La Fábrica, danza-teatro y otras ocurrencias” And she regularly produces her own shows that combine stories, music, and movement in Mexico and also in international festivals around the world. She has produced three records with her original stories and music: Earth Stories, Words of the Living River, and 100% Xochiquetzal.

This week on Total Movie Recall, one man's fun trash is another man's not-fun trash. Steve gets typically indignant at Ryan's casual, cruel dismissal of somebody's labor of love, and Ryan reaches heretofore unplumbed depths of his warped psyche, exploring the lingering effects of watching movies like Killer Klowns at too tender of an age. This is what happens when a little boy lets teenage girls bully him into watching movies. Ryan's therapist has her work cut out for her this week. Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988) d. Stephen Chiodo w. Charles Chiodo, Stephen Chiodo, Edward Chiodo Starring: Grant Cramer Suzanne Snyder John Allen Nelson John Vernon When teenagers Mike (Grant Cramer) and Debbie (Suzanne Snyder) see a comet crash outside their sleepy small town, they investigate and discover a pack of murderous aliens who look very much like circus clowns. They try to warn the local authorities, but everyone assumes their story is a prank. Meanwhile, the clowns set about harvesting and eating as many people as they can. It's not until they kidnap Debbie that Mike decides it's up to him to stop the clowns' bloody rampage.

We're taking a break from b-movies this week and are instead checking out a film many consider to be one of the greatest ever made. It's Amadeus, released September 19th, 1984. It tells the (very fictional) story of Mozart and a man called Salieri who wants him dead. It's a tale of jealousy, opera and mercury. Got feedback?

Mozart, sa vie, son œuvre, sa musique, son rire, sa femme, lʹempereur et Salieri. Lui, auquel Milos Forman consacre un film multi-oscarisé: Amadeus, sorti en 1984. Lʹhistoire de Milos Forman est une fiction rocambolesque et rococo, lʹadaptation dʹune pièce de théâtre homonyme de Peter Shaffer qui signe le scénario du film. Ce nʹest donc pas la vraie histoire de Mozart et de Salieri. On sʹen approche pour mieux sʹen éloigner et raconter un drame en musique.
Salieri? Antonio Salieri? Das war doch dieses Scheusal, das Wolfang Amadeus Mozart umgebracht hat! So glauben wir es Dank des Hollywood-Films von Milos Forman „Amadeus“ nach dem gleichnamigen Theaterstück von Peter Shaffer. Der böse, neidische, dilettantische Komponist Salieri als fieser Mozart-Killer! Diese Legende hat der Salieri-Experte Dr. Timo Jouko Hoffmann vor fünf Jahren endgültig als üble Nachrede entlarvt und nachgewiesen, dass Salieri und Mozart sogar miteinander komponiert haben. Hoffmann ist nicht nur Salieri-Experte, sondern auch Komponist und Dirigent und hat mit den Heidelberger Sinfonikern die CD „Salieri, strictly private“ eingespielt – und ist damit gleich dreimal für den OPUS-KLASSIK nominiert worden!

En 1979, Peter Shaffer, reconocido autor de teatro británico, escribió Amadeus. La película, convertida en objeto de culto, ganó 40 premios: ocho Premios Óscar, cuatro British Academy Film Awards, cuatro Golden Globes y un DGA Award. En ella, un imaginario Saliere dibuja una imaginaria figura del Mozart en la corte austriaca. Plagada de mensajes en el subtexto, que pasarán desapercibidos a los ajenos a la materia, la película se centra en la emoción infantil para caracterizar al personaje de Mozart y en una obsesión adictiva, que raya en lo enamoradizo y se presenta como enfermiza, para el personaje de Salieri incapaz de sobreponerse a los celos que despiertan en él el talento de Mozart. Para hablar de este personaje, el de Mozart, tan fascinante como inagotable hemos invitado hoy a un experto. Luis Antonio Muñoz, es director de orquesta, analista de música de y para cine, cantante y escritor. En su último libro, “Historia oculta de la música” la figura de Mozart desgrana su lado masónico en profundidad. A Luis y a su libro podéis encontrarlos en los siguientes enlaces.

Welcome To The Party Pal: The Mind-Bending Film & Television Podcast You Didn't Know You Needed!
Ian Mckellen is a legend of stage and cinema. He has incredibly starred in over four hundred plays and films and he is that rare character actor that awes in each and every performance. McKellen is a celebrity of such distinguished political and social service that it has transcended his international fame to reach beyond the stage and screen. The breadth of his career — professional, personal and political — has been truly staggering. Sci-fi and fantasy fans know him as Gandalf from the Lord of The Rings and Magneto from the Marvel X-Men series of films. Theater lovers know of McKellen’s roles as Macbeth, King Lear, and Estragon in the truly fantastic Waiting For Godot. From his West End acting debut in 1964 in James Saunders’s A Scent of Flowers, to the day he took Broadway by storm when he played Antonio Salieri in Peter Shaffer’s Tony-Award-winning play Amadeus, to his many turns on screen, McKellen is an international treasure and icon, and it is because of this that Welcome To The Party Pal pays tribute to such an acclaimed talent.To celebrate Ian McKellen properly, one of your Welcome To The Party Pal hosts, Michael Shields, sits down with author Garry O’Connor, who recently penned Ian McKellen: A Biography. Garry O’ Connor is a biographer and novelist, noted for his publications on theatrical and literary figures. He has written well-praised biographies of Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Paul Scofield, Peggy Ashcroft, and Alec Guinness. His book probes the heart of Ian McKellen, recreating his greatest stage roles and exploring his personal life. Ian McKellen: A Biography shows readers what makes the great actor tick and Michael and Garry discuss some of Ian’s more memorable roles, what motivates Ian in work and life, his activism, and so much more.

Daniel Radcliffe reached a global audience in the title role of the hugely successful Harry Potter films. He has also appeared on Broadway and in the West End, as well as in over a dozen films since the final part of the Harry Potter series was released in 2011. Born in 1989, the only child of Alan and Marcia Radcliffe, Daniel made his acting debut aged 10 in a BBC adaptation of David Copperfield. The following year he was cast as Harry Potter, and he and his co-stars, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, would spend ten years filming the series. Daniel made a point of taking other roles before it had finished, and he appeared on stage in Peter Shaffer’s play Equus in 2007, a role which involved prolonged full frontal nudity. Since then he has appeared on screen, on stage and on television, playing characters from the beat poet Allen Ginsberg to a cop going undercover as a neo-Nazi, and his recent films include Guns Akimbo and Escape from Pretoria. In the theatre, he is appearing in Samuel Beckett’s Endgame in London. He supports the Trevor Project which works to prevent suicides among LGBTQ youth and which Daniel first became aware of during the Broadway run of Equus in 2008. Daniel has been in a long-term relationship with fellow actor Erin Darke who he met on a film set in 2012. Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Cathy Drysdale
Con esta película, Milos Forman volvió a la ciudad y el país del que tuvo que arrancar más de 15 años antes, con el desafío de llevar a la pantalla una exitosísima obra de teatro de Shaffer. Ambos escribieron el guion, con no pocas fricciones y algunas alteraciones no siempre felices respecto de la obra original, pero en el conjunto, elaboraron uno de los espectáculos más ágiles, coloridos y sustanciosos que ha dado la industria estadounidense, la que merecidamente le confirió múltiples premios. De esto y más hablamos en el podcast.

What does it mean to be good? What does it mean if we aren’t good? Whose fault is it? These are just some of the questions that animate Amadeus, a fictional portrayal of famed composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his musical rival Antionio Salieri. These questions also inspire Sue Phillips, a Unitarian Universalist minister. She first watched the movie in the late ’80s, just as she was coming out and understanding her place in the world.Sue Phillips is the co-founder of Sacred Design Lab. She was also the first Director of Strategy as part of the Impact Lab here at the On Being Project. An ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, Sue is the co-author, with colleagues Angie Thurston and Casper ter Kuile, of “Design for the Human Soul.”
What happens when a tour guide with a vibrant imagination has to show off an incredibly boring mansion? The Lesser Known Players will bring Peter Shaffer’s comic masterpiece, Lettice and Lovage, to life on the Rolling Bay stage starting October 11th. The show follows the adventures of Lettice, an eccentric tour guide at England's least interesting historical manor, who enlarges, enlivens, and enlightens her tours with fantastic and hilariously false tales of the manor's past. But when her straight-laced bureaucratic boss Lotte finds out, the fun - and Lettice's employment - are over. So begins the unlikeliest of friendships in this madcap comedy about truth, fiction, architecture, and the surprising utility of alternative facts. Listen here as Director Karen Hauser and stars Michelle Peterson (Lotte) and Jennifer Hodges (Lettice) explain how the show came to the Lesser Known Players and what it’s like following in the footsteps of Dame Maggie Smith, who won a Tony for her performance as Lettice. Don’t miss this delightfully British comedy! Lettice and Lovage, brought to you by the Lesser Known Players, will run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday October 11, 12, & 13, and again the following weekend, October 18, 19, & 20. The Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30; Sunday shows start at 2:30. For more information and to order tickets, visit the Lettice and Lovage event page on Facebook.

Why? It’s a question we seem to be asking ourselves daily as we wake up to the news of the latest national tragedy or act of incomprehensible behavior. That too-oft-asked question with the most elusive of answers is at the heart of Peter Shaffer’s Equus. Psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Craig Miller) is asked to take on the case of Alan Strang (Ryan Severt), a 17-year-old boy who has committed a horrific act of animal cruelty. Alan, a quiet boy, has taken a chance equestrian encounter in his youth and developed it into a personal theology. His devotion, passion for and submission to his God “Equus” (Latin for ‘horse’) makes his brutal and inhumane act of blinding horses in his care with a metal spike all the more difficult to fathom. Dysart must find out why. Was it the conflict inherent in being brought up by a devout mother (Juliet Noonan) and atheist father (John Shillington)? Was it confusion over his burgeoning sexuality that’s been awakened by his co-worker Jill (Chandler Parrot -Thomas)? Or is it - in the play’s most disturbing point as expressed by Alan’s mother in her own search for answers - that evil simply exists? Dysart’s search for the answer leads him to question his own state in life. His career in a state of “professional menopause” and married to a woman he hasn’t kissed in years, he envies Alan’s passion and begins to ponder whether it’s right to “cure” him and damn him to a life of normalcy. Dysart’s psychological quest finally leads to Alan’s confession and a recreation of the event, but is the initial question answered? Director Lennie Dean balances the play’s innate theatricality with genuine human emotion which is all the more commendable considering four of the cast spend a good deal of time portraying horses. It’s a visually striking production, aided in good measure by original 1970’s costume pieces courtesy of American Conservatory Theater and an effective lighting design by April George. Miller is excellent as the psychiatrist grappling with his own demons. Severt bares Alan’s soul (and body, as does Parrot-Thomas in the crucial climax) and gives a gut-wrenching performance. The pain in these characters is palpable. Superb work is done by the entire cast as they move in and out of the story as multiple characters. An almost perfect combination of script, design, direction, and performance, 6th Street Playhouse’s Equus is not an easy play to sit through. It is also not to be missed. 'Equus' runs through February 25 at the 6th Street Playhouse Studio Theatre in Santa Rosa - Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances at 7:30pm; Saturday & Sunday matinees at 2pm. For more information, go to 6thstreetplayhouse.com
Actresses Delia Kropp and Penny Slusher join Gary and Frank in the Booth this week. Penny, a longtime favorite of ours, recently appeared in the Steppenwolf Theatre production of The Minutes, the new play from Tracy Letts. Delia was seen last season in a remarkable re-imagining of the Doug Wright play I Am My Own Wife at About Face Theatre, where the 30 characters were played by four actors rather than just one. Hers was a tour-de-force performance as Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, born Lothar Berfelde, who survived the Nazi and Communist regimes in East Berlin as a transgender woman, and the first time the role had been played by a transgender actress. Listen to hear the great story about how and why Delia proposed changing the way this Tony & Pulitzer prize winning play was presented. Penny talks about growing up in Bristol, Tennessee, the "birthplace of country music", and the one-woman show she is writing about her childhood experiences and the extended family that raised her. With a working title of "A Porch Song", Penny hopes to capture the essence of Appalachian Bristol and her amazing upbringing among an apartment building full of relatives. Including her Memaw, who was the best friend of Mother Maybelle Carter. Click on the Bristol link above to read about all the cool things happening there. Penny is an acting and auditioning coach with an approach that sounds like it would be not just effective, but fun too. She also does Intuitive Readings, using her innate gift for intuition and the things she learned watching her grandmother do "fortune telling." She is down to earth and positive about people's opportunities and challenges. If you'd like to schedule a session with Penny, go to www.pennyslusher.com and send her an email. Readings are usually done in her home, and she hopes you like cats (she has 2!). Delia speaks candidly about her gender transition, her 10-year hiatus from acting, and the types of roles and opportunities she is now pursuing. Having known Penny since 1991, Delia credits her with helping ease and facilitate her transition, particularly within the Chicago theatre community. The group discusses gender in casting. Here at Booth One, we wonder whether there might be a place for Delia on Amazon's Transparent alongside her friend, the brilliant Alexandra Billings. Delia is at work on an exciting web project to help trans and cisgender theater artists to meet. An online resource site for actors and other members of creative teams to learn about each other. Find out more about Delia on her website Therealdelia.com. Though we didn't talk about it on the episode, part of our Booth One research was to watch a great National Geographic documentary called The Gender Revolution. It is just excellent and we learned so much. Highly recommended! Kiss of Death: Mary Adelman, Fixer of Broken Typewriters, Owner of Osner Business Machines For decades, Mrs. Adelman's shop was an emergency room for typists with bent keys, problematic platens and ruined ribbons. She attended to the typewriters of Isaac Bashivas Singer, David Mamet, Nora Ephron, Philip Roth, Joseph Heller, Peter Shaffer and Murray Schisgal. The shop at 393 Amsterdam Avenue became an Upper West Side fixture in the lives of people desperate to keep the words flowing, and Mrs. Adelman was its centerpiece. "Every time you’d go there, it was always filled with people, that little shop — crammed with people,” one longtime customer, the playwright Peter Shaffer, the author of “Equus,” said in 2001. “It was like the cabin scene in ‘A Night at the Opera.’ You couldn’t get in the door.” She was 89.

It’s not often that shows that have played the National Theatre Olivier stage come back for another bite of the apple. Those occasions are few and far between. But that is exactly what is happening this Thursday, the 11th of January at the NT when Amadeus returns. Peter Shaffer’s timeless tale set in Vienna, directed by Michael Longhurst, was such a quick sell out that the powers-that-be at the National did the sensible thing and brought it back in this season with most of the cast reprising their roles. Including this week’s guest Lucian Msamati as Salieri.
The death of Sir Peter Hall was announced today, at the age of 86. Friends and colleagues look back on his life. We'll be hearing from those who lived and worked with him including the Opera singer Maria Ewing, who was married to Sir Peter Hall for eight years and who was directed by him many times. We'll also speak to former heads of the National Theatre Sir Nicholas Hytner and Sir Richard Eyre, the director Sir Trevor Nunn, playwright David Edgar and theatre critic Michael Billington.Peter Hall, whose career spanned more than six decades, was a director of theatre, opera and film. As well as founding the Royal Shakespeare Company, running the National Theatre for 15 years, working as artistic director at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, and setting up the Peter Hall Company, he will be remembered for his extensive work which ranged from Shakespeare and the Greek classics to Pinter and of course Peter Shaffer's Amadeus with Paul Scofield and Simon Callow. Presenter Samira Ahmed Producer Helen Fitzhenry.

Director Kate Carruthers has brought some extraordinary productions to the BPA stage in recent years, most notably her ambitious undertaking of the nine plays of The Kentucky Cycle and last year's Snow Falling on Cedars. But this year she's outdone herself; together with Music Director Josh Anderson she is staging Peter Shaffer's magnificent Amadeus, complete with period costumes, a live chamber group, and a choral ensemble. First written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, Amadeus was revised six times over the following 21 years, including a version for the 1984 movie. Over these six revisions, the play moved from a simple melodrama to become the heart-wrenching tragedy of Antonio Salieri. The established composer in the court of the Austrian Emperor Josef, Salieri has given himself to God so that he might realize his sole ambition to be a great composer. Enter Mozart -- a foul-mouthed, graceless oaf who composes rapturously beautiful music with a genius far beyond Salieri's envious grasp. For Salieri, the realization of his own relative mediocrity despite his sacrifices becomes more than he can bear, and he hatches a complex plot to gain ultimate revenge over Mozart and God. The final revision of Amadeus has been performed many times in the US and Europe, but only rarely with the music of Mozart -- which Shaffer considers to be the third character in this play -- performed live by a chamber group and choral ensemble. In this podcast, Kate Carruthers and Josh Anderson explain to BCB host Channie Peters how they are working together to weave the passionate words of this extraordinary play with the sublime music of Mozart. This special BPA production, they tell us, has become possible only because of the exceptional musical talent and skill of Jon Brenner, who has arranged the music to accommodate the smaller number of musicians and singers who will be part of the performance. The production is also considerably enhanced by the period costume designs of Barbara Klingberg, a successful architect who has designed costumes for Broadway shows and movies. Because this production is not a musical, but a play with music, the challenge of directing the acting, singing and orchestration will be complex. But if anyone can pull that off, we're sure Kate and Josh are up to the task -- and their vision of the end result in this podcast sounds exhilarating! You won't want to miss this extraordinary show: Amadeus opens Friday, March 11 and will run Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through March 26th at Bainbridge Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale now at the BPA website or by visiting or calling (206-842-8569) the BPA box office.
