Episode 176:In ‘Every Man In His Humour' Jonson pays a debt to Roman comedy, but also shows us, in an almost fully formed way, his very own style. This is not the biting satire of many of his plays, but something a little gentler in that he is not taking aim at specific people and certainly not at the court, as he was to do later. ‘Every Man in His Humour' is a city comedy with it's large cast of London characters and it is they, as a group, who are Jonson's target on this occasion. The early performance history of the playThe printing history of the playThe differences between the quarto and folio versions of the playThe London setting of and as a character in the playA synopsis of the playThe complexity of the plot structureThe effect of ‘humours' on characterThe comedic characters based on Roman comic charactersAn analysis of the prologueBrainworm the instigator of deceptionEdward Knowell the portrait of a London StudentOld Knowell as a sympathetic fatherMathew the poet and butt of the jokeBobadil the braggart soldierKitely the jealous husbandThe later performance history of the playThe use of prose in the play Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Episode 174:Ben Jonson's erliest play. Here we have the bricklayer's son trying to make his way in the theatre and with the court. Until James came to the throne, he was pretty unsuccessful in the latter and as far as we can tell more of less from the off his life writing for the public theatre was controversial. I recounted the events surrounding Johnson and Nashe's play ‘The Isle of Dogs' as part of Jonson's life story and ‘The Case Is Altered' probably pre-dates those events. What we can be sure of is that by 1597, the most likely date for ‘The Case Is Altered' Jonson was working for Pembroke's Men and that they probably performed the play in May or June that year.The complications of the printing history of the playThe origins of the titleJonson borrows from Plautus to create a romantic comedyThe satire of Anthony MundayA brief summary of both strands of the plotThe structural issues with the play and purely comic scenesThe theory of the HumorsThe character of Count FernezeThe character of Jacques the miserThe concealment of the goldThe slight characters of the three female rolesSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Episode 168:Although Shakespeare's completion of the events of Henry IV's reign is very much a continuation of the story from part one it is a play with a very different vibe. The vigour of the battle scenes and the exuberance of prince Hal and Falstaff's relationship are replaced in part two with a more sombre and elegiac tone. The effects of old age and the passing to time hang over the play and even at its ending, where the coronation of Henry V could have been treated as a big party full of hope, it is the final rejection of Falstaff that dominates as once again Shakespeare provides an ending that many would have found surprising.The dating of the playThe early publishing history of the playThe early performance history of the playShakespeare's sources for the playA Synopsis of the plotHow the play functions without much dramatic actionWas the play a hurriedly written sequel?Foreshadowing and references to historyThe presence of the king and his illness in the playThe nature of the comedy in the playThe final split with FalstaffFalstaff the dangerous conmanThe Justices Shallow and SilenceMistress Quickly and the other comic charactersThe EpilogueSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

After the deposition of Richard II Henry ruled for fourteen years until his death.

Episode 164Fate, as in Romeo and Juliet, plays a large part in ‘The Merchant of Venice', as do deep seated grudges, but these are more societal than familial. We are still in Italy, but no longer in close knit Verona, but mercantile and outward looking Venice. As Shakespeare wrote this play London was becoming orientated around increasing global trade and English trading ships were regularly making their way to Venice as a major trading hub, so perhaps it is no surprise that Venice, with its eyes on commerce and profit, was a suitably exotic setting for this tale of greed, love and a clash of cultures.

Episode 139:Last time ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona' gave us a look at second comedy from Shakespeare's early phase as a playwright. As you heard certain elements in the plotting of the play and execution of its denouement make it problematic, but nevertheless it showed early promise. The lyrical nature of much of the language used in that play is quite typical of the earliest comedies and it is probably not coincidental that this was around the time that Shakespeare was writing his long lyrical poem ‘Venus and Adonis', so we might assume that his mindset at the time was that of a lyrical poet, and maybe we see that influence still in his probable next work, the much more accomplished play ‘The Comedy of Errors', which has remained one of the more popular Shakespeare comedies since its first performance.

Episode 138:Over the course of speaking about English Renaissance Plays and Shakespeare I have had cause to mention the play ‘A Knack to Know a Knave' several times. Most latterly because it is thought to include references to ‘The Taming of the Shrew' and ‘Titus Andronicus' and prior to that, in the season on the Early Renaissance Theatre it had a mention as one of the plays performed at the Rose Playhouse as recorded in Henslowe's Diary. Having been reminded of it while writing about the early Shakespeare plays I thought that it deserved a little time in the spotlight on it's own as it gives us a little snapshot of the plays, and particularly comedies other than Shakespeare and Jonson, that was circulating at the time of the earliest of Shakespeare's plays. So, here is a little interlude of an episode all about ‘A Knack to Know a Knave'.A quick word on ‘Shakespeare's Borrowed Feathers' by Darren Feebury-Jones, which is published in October 2024 and on Henry Porter and his possible involvement with ‘Dr Faustus'.The performances of ‘A Knack to Know a Knave' as reported in Henslowe's DiaryThe mystery of the low takings for repeated performances in a second run of the playThe printed quarto edition of the playA summary of the plotThe (possibly) missing parts of the play, including Kempe's extemporisingHow the fools of Gotham folk tale is worked into the playThe allusions to other plays in the textThe final lines of the playIf you would like to read the text of A Knack to Know a Knave, you can find it on google books here Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

What do you do if you love pain, impact play, discipline, CBT, and/or bondage but you can't have marks on your body?  How do you hide the marks when you love being on the receiving end of the S/m dynamic?That's the topic today and it's the result of a listener question to the previous episodes about many aspects of pain play.Topics include:Training for a submissive versus a kinky scene with a pain slutThe role of stress positions to enhance kinky scenesPhysical pain, mental pain and the role of an intense mindfuckThe role of suffering in submission to a beautiful Femdom MistressOf course, there is always a lot of emphasis on the role of communication in BDSM. The ladies talk about BDSM negotiation, what to ask your Mistress and why it's important that you answer her questions honestly (so she can plan the play effectively).This is BDSM education:Thuddy versus stingy impact playThe role of warmup in impact playHow bondage affects the skin for CBT Electrosex and what to look for an a tens unit for kinky usesWax play and safety concernsTemperature play and a wicked use of ice waterThe importance of aftercareThese creative Femdoms talk about workarounds for those who crave S/m pain but need to keep this part hidden.Remember if you hear something in the podcast and you have a followup question, send an email.Olivia AT enchantrixempire.comErika AT enchantrixempire.comMs Olivia's blog: https://www.experiencedmistress.com/Ms Erika's blog:  https://intelligentphonefantasy.com/

Just a synopsis of the video you're watching. Comprehensive Guide to the World of Warframe: An In-depth Look at Gameplay and LoreWelcome to the thrilling universe of Warframe, a game that has not only captured the imaginations of millions worldwide but has also established a rich tapestry of lore and an exciting gameplay experience. Whether you are a new player or a seasoned veteran, this guide will delve deep into the world of Warframes, their abilities, and the intricate lore surrounding them.Introduction to WarframeWarframe is a third-person shooter game that combines elements of action, RPG, and cooperative multiplayer. It is set in a futuristic, sci-fi universe where players take on the role of Tenno, ancient warriors who have awoken from centuries of cryosleep to find themselves at war with different factions.The Origin of WarframesAt the heart of the game are the Warframes—powerful suits of armor that provide unique abilities to their wearers. The first Warframe introduced in both the game and the lore is Excalibur, known for its balanced abilities and straightforward combat style. Excalibur's powers range from the offensive "Slash Dash" to the defensive "Radial Javelin," showcasing its versatility.Following Excalibur, we explore other Warframes like Volt, Mag, Trinity, Ember, and more. Each Warframe comes with a distinct set of abilities that cater to various play styles, from fast-paced and aggressive to strategic and supportive.Lore and BackstoryWarframe's lore is deeply intertwined with its gameplay. The story unfolds through quests, cinematics, and in-game events, revealing the origins of the Tenno and the Warframes, as well as the history of the Solar System. Players learn about the Orokin Empire, the Sentients they fought, and the ongoing conflict with factions like the Grineer and Corpus.Gameplay MechanicsWarframe stands out for its fast-paced, parkour-style movement and deep customization options. Players can equip their Warframes with a range of weapons and mods to enhance their abilities, tailoring their loadouts to their preferred tactics. The game also features a dynamic mission system, offering a variety of objectives and challenges that can be tackled solo or with a squad.Community and Co-op PlayThe community aspect of Warframe is robust, with a focus on cooperative play. Clans and alliances can be formed, allowing players to build their own space stations and participate in large-scale cooperative missions. Events and updates are regularly added, providing fresh content and keeping the community engaged.TIMESTAMPS —— ——————————  TAGSWarframe, Tenno, Excalibur, Volt, Mag, Trinity, Ember, Orokin, Grineer, Corpus, Digital Extremes, cooperative multiplayer, RPG, third-person shooter, lore, game mechanics, community.————————————Opinions expressed in this video are solely those of Isyander & Koda and in no way reflect the views or opinions of Games Workshop Ltd.Artwork throughout this video is used for educational purposes. if you see your artwork and would like an art credit, message me.Support the show

Drawing on her personal experiences, she reveals how being open to fun can often seem foreign and even frightening, pushing us to numb ourselves or put on a facade that isn't genuinely us. Kelli offers insights on distinguishing discomfort from actual danger and invites you to redefine your understanding of fun.
