We would sail across the English Channel once to see this show. On the Annie to Endgame scale, this show is as challenging as a mediocre Shakespearean history. World premiere adaptation By William Shakespeare Adapted and directed by Barry Edelstein A once-in-a-generation event comes to San Diego in 2024: The Old Globe becomes one of only a small handful of theatres in the country's history to complete Shakespeare's canon with the two-part Henry 6, the largest Shakespeare production the Globe has ever presented. In One: Flowers and France, King Henry VI inherits the crown of England as a child. Absent the strong leadership of his father, who conquered France in a surprise victory, the English court is reduced to petty squabbles. The French take up arms to regain their lost territory and rally behind Joan of Arc, who claims she was sent from God to fight the English. And when King Henry marries Queen Margaret, she inflames the political disputes that roil the throne. Can the English stop arguing among themselves and unite to hold on to France? Or will their in-fighting cost them the hard-won French territory and lead to chaos at home?

Ellen shares her transition into playwriting, her approach to revising Shakespeare to the female characters' point of view and how it changes the story, the learning curve of a self-taught playwright, and the importance of ending a days work of writing on a high note. She also delves into the important lessons of playwriting, the use of technology, struggles and confidence, and her view of "gatekeepers" and staging your own work, especially when it could be considered a controversial piece. It's a charming conversation and the second episode where my camera shut down in the middle of the interview, so I apologize for the brief interruption. In the end, it was a pleasure to sit and share with an important and prominent influence in the Los Angeles theatrical community.

Sarah LaDuke speaks with each playwright about their inspiration and output.

Shakespeare's Margaret takes center stage Whitney White's trajectory from MFA to CAA happened fast. After earning a Master of Fine Arts from Brown University in 2015, she is now represented by Creative Artists Agency, a talent juggernaut in the entertainment world. Her degree is in acting, but directing earned her a Tony Award nomination in April for Jaja's African Hair Braiding. Now, her play By the Queen is in rotation at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival through Aug. 31, under the direction of Shana Cooper. By the Queen, subtitled "A Survivor's Tale," contains plenty of the Bard's lines and scenes, which White uses to craft a sophisticated psychological study of Queen Margaret of Anjou, captured on the same battlefield as Joan of Arc. She is also one of the only characters to appear in multiple Shakespeare plays. "Shakespeare isn't the Bible," says White, so it's adaptable and applicable to today. To punctuate the point, she immediately pierces the fourth wall as the main character struts toward the audience and says, "Hi there. Oh, don't be shocked. I can see you and I know that you see me." Margaret, for whom Shakespeare coined the term "she-wolf of France," gets airtime in four of his so-called history plays: Henry VI, in three parts, and Richard III, which White's script calls "one of the most epic - badass - stories ever written." This queen is also Shakespeare's only female character to age chronologically. The script presents just about all of Margaret's mentions, utterances and scenes from the original plays, shifting gears from old prose to modern English and back without hitting any speed bumps. White divides her life into three roles: Margaret 1 (Malika Samuel), age 16 to her "dirty thirties," according to the character description; Margaret 2 (Sarin Monae West), who makes dire decisions and suffers terrible consequences; and Margaret 3 (Nance Williamson), the only character in Richard III to confront the immoral king. The play is framed as Margaret 3's flashback during her final exile in France, where she enjoys wine and mulls her fourth and final act. She and the other Margarets are onstage together almost the entire time as they interact, question motives and revel in her/their ability to survive this tragical history tour through the War of the Roses in the 1400s. White denotes the presence of "a lot of men. Too many men" in the four plays and dismisses their injurious affairs with comic effect: "blah blah blah politics, blah blah blah land, blah blah blah power." During battle scenes, the principals and minimalist ensemble (Bobby Moreno, Luis Quintero, Travis Raeburn, Stephen Michael Spencer) scream "waaarrrr!" and engage in madcap play-fighting antics as light and sound play along. The script probes more than it preaches. Samuel's note-perfect Margaret 1 almost hijacks the show based on her performance, not necessarily the lines. The character debuts as naive comic relief and ultimately evolves into a moral compass as Margaret 2 murders rivals, becomes a widow, watches her son get killed and is served her lover's severed head on a platter, "medium rare." Yet the play never condescends into an anti-male screed and calls Shakespeare the "greatest writer who ever lived," even as White subjects his words to inquiry, marshaling line after misogynistic line hurled at Margaret to examine his perspective onstage in real time. This approach could easily devolve into dull academic deconstruction, but White handles these sections with nimble effect. Employing a hilarious herald (Jacob Ming-Trent) to condense the action and serve as a "purist," she zeroes in on the pivotal characters and distills the four plays so well that minimal prior knowledge is required to follow along. As Margaret 3, Williamson conveys the older queen with confidence as she inexplicably returns from banishment in France to confront Richard III. Otherwise, Williamson as narrator is the bemused, resigned, "resplendent elder" called for in ...

Hey Lifers!Today has been a bit of a chaotic mess, but what else is new?It's a leap year day and Queen Margaret (5 years) has an allowance for you. Britt has stuck her foot in it and basically told her pregnant friend that she didn't like her baby name. Vibes for the week:Britt - Can I tell you a secret? on Netflix Keeshia - Ali Abdaal's Deep Dive Podcast The difference between healthy and toxic relationships Laura Barney Dog Bed Then we jump into your questions! I've been officially dating someone for about four months, but we were in a bit of a situationship for about 5 months before that and we were friends for about 3 years before that. We have already said ‘I love you' and talked about the future, so we're quite serious. The only thing is, after we had been officially dating for a month, he said that the ‘honeymoon phase' was over and that he needed to start taking a bit more time to himself. It has caused a few issues, because he's 30 and I'm his first partner, so he's quite a solitary person, but I need quite a bit of attention. I'm starting to regret deciding to be exclusive, but it's a bit too late to backtrack from that now. I'm not sure how to handle this situation, because I don't want to be the nagging girlfriend who asks for more time, but I'm also starting to get resentful about not having more of his time. A few weeks ago you answered the question to another listener about the girl who's fiancé was going to propose to her when / after she gets her license. And an engagement under certain conditions, that was okay. My friend is in a similar situation with her boyfriend of 1 year. However, her boyfriend has said openly to her that he wants to marry her, but won't propose to her until she gives up vaping and drinking on weeknights. I thought personally this could be problematic and potentially manipulative to have a promised engagement under certain conditions. I am dying to hear your take on this. I feel like this is a stupid question but I have been out of the dating game for so long and I need to know what's normal. I went out on a first date with a guy and it was absolutely amazing. I was lucky enough to get a kiss at the end of the date and nothing else! We are going on a second date next week. Do I kiss him on the lips when I see him next or be polite and give him a kiss on the check? When is 'too soon' to ask the person you've been going on dates with whether it's exclusive? If you have an question please send it on it to life uncut podcast on Instagram hereJoin us on tiktok Or join the facebook group here Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE! xxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Weldon family tree boasts a rich history of Irish jewellers going back over 135 years. Learning from a young age about the industry from his father, Matthew quickly gained a skilled eye and an appreciation for quality. Seeking to further his knowledge and expertise Matthew gained a degree in marketing and French which led to a short career as a chartered accountant. But with such a draw to antique and vintage jewellery it was inevitable that Matthew would continue the family tradition and build a business of his own. Like generations before, Matthew looks for the exceptional, rare and intriguing pieces and always ensures beauty, quality and fair prices. Alyce Ketcher has been working with jewels for over 15 years. During her time within the jewellery industry she has worked in Australia, New Zealand, United States, United Kingdom and Ireland and gained qualifications through the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (GEM-A). As a qualified gemologist Alyce is able to use her extensive knowledge of diamonds and gemstones to identify and value jewellery from all periods. Working with antique and vintage jewels is her passion, and you can often find her researching hallmarks, inspecting gemstones or writing about our latest find.

One of Shakespeare's strongest characters is Queen Margaret who, as a consequence of her husband's bouts with insanity, finds it necessary to lead not only a country, but to stand at the helm of an entire army, leading England's military into battle and winning. It is an important story in the history of the War of the Roses, and one that Jared Kirby and Hudson Classical Theater decided to take on this year. Jared is a celebrated fight director and took on the challenge of staging entire battle scenes on stage for this production, and he joins us today to talk with us about how Shakespeare would have staged these battle scenes in the 16th century and how it works to stay true to history when staging these plays today.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of “How do you Say That?!”, Kenny Blyth joins Sam and Mark to talk about voicing technical scripts with vitality, the essence of true horror stories, and how to subvert expectations, and our wildcards include robotic AI voices, a magician and a rather superb horse racing commentator.Our VO question this week is all about demo reels, and when you should get them done (or re-make them).We'd love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today's show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1In regulation 4, paragraph two, which covers ‘Requirements relating to building work', paragraph two (a), after ‘schedule 1' inserts: in brackets “in addition to the requirements of regulation 7”In regulation five which covers ‘meaning of material change of use' after paragraph I omit “or”; and after paragraph J insert ‘or the building is a building described in regulation 7 - 4 - a, where previously it was not”.Script 2 (excerpt from "The Chair" by W. Terence Walsh)As the fire begins to crack and pop and the smoke rises over the rooftops, John resumes his work with renewed vigour, the rhythmic scraping of the chisel helping to drown out the sound of the blaze. But he cannot ignore the piercing dreadful song of the girl screaming as she is cleansed from this world. A sound so high in its pitch and so disquietingly inhuman, that it beggars belief. Perhaps she truly is an agent of the supernatural after all? The noises of the crowd turn from accusation, to celebration, to pity, to fear, before dwindling to silence. Only the scream now, travelling through the late summer air and gently brushing up against the blade of the chisel, carving a microscopic record of Mary's last moments into the tiny groove-like indentations in the wood.----------------- Listen to all of our podcasts here ------------------About our guest: Kenny Blyth is a multi award-winning voice-over and actor who graduated from Queen Margaret's college, Edinburgh in 2000, the first graduate from there to win the prestigious BBC radio ‘Carleton Hobbs' award.

November 16: Saint Margaret of Scotlandc. 1045–1093Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: WhitePatron Saint of Scotland, large families, and parents who have lost childrenA foreign-born royal becomes queen and inspires by her refinement and devotionIn the early eleventh century, a Danish Viking named Canute reigned as King of England. Canute exiled his potential rivals from an Anglo-Saxon royal family. One of these exiles, Edward, made his way to Hungary, married, and had a daughter named Margaret who grew up in a well-educated, royal, Catholic home. Margaret's father eventually returned to England at the request of the king, his uncle Saint Edward the Confessor, and he brought his family with him, including Margaret. But Edward died shortly after coming home, leaving Margaret fatherless, and then Edward the Confessor died without an heir. War broke out. In 1066 at the Battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon English lost to the Norman French. Margaret and her siblings were displaced to Scotland, far away from French efforts to eradicate Anglo-Saxon royals who had claims to the English throne. Thus was the circuitous route by which a woman of English blood who grew up in Hungary is commemorated today as Saint Margaret of Scotland.Saint Margaret was known to her contemporaries as an educated, refined, and pious woman. She married a Scottish King named Malcolm who was far more rustic than herself. He could not even read. The earliest Life of Margaret, written by a monk who personally knew her, states that Malcolm depended on his wife's sage advice and admired her prayerfulness. According to Margaret's biographer, Malcolm saw “that Christ truly dwelt in her heart...What she rejected, he rejected...what she loved, he, for love of her, loved too.” Malcolm embellished Margaret's devotional books with gold and silver. One of these books, a selection of Gospel passages with illuminated miniatures of the four Evangelists, is preserved in an English museum. King Malcolm and Queen Margaret, along with their six sons and two daughters, truly created a domestic church centered on Christ. One son, David, became a national hero as King of Scotland and is popularly referred to as a saint.Margaret's presence infused the unsophisticated, rural, Scottish court with culture. She brought her more Roman experiences of Church life with her to Scotland, and so pulled the Scottish Church into conformity with Roman and continental practice regarding the dating and observance of Lent and Easter. She encouraged the faithful to more fully observe Sunday by not working and, like so many medieval royals, she was also a prolific foundress of monasteries, including one she intended to be the burial place for Scottish kings and queens. Margaret was known for her concern for the poor, for dedicating hours a day to prayer and to spiritual reading, and for her great skill in embroidering vestments and church linens.Saint Margaret died, not yet fifty years old, just a few days after she was informed that her husband and son were killed in battle. Margaret and Malcolm were buried together under the high altar of a monastery. Devotion to the holy queen began soon after her death, and she was canonized in 1250.Saint Margaret of Scotland, you were the model of a virtuous queen who cared for both the spiritual and material welfare of your people. Inspire all leaders to give personal witness to holiness so that, through their leadership role, they inspire their people to be more virtuous.

With his father Richard of York's head now on a spike, Edward's determination to snatch the crown from Henry VI is stronger than ever. But how will he build support for his cause and assert his rights? Can he outmanoeuvre the formidable Queen Margaret, who will stop at nothing to see her own son on the throne? And is there any way to heal England's bitter rifts and create a lasting peace? This is part two of a special three-part Short History of the Wars of the Roses. Written by Danny Marshall. With thanks to Michael Hicks, historian and author of The Wars of the Roses; and Lauren Johnson, historian and author of The Shadow King – The Life and Death of Henry VI, and an upcoming book on Tudor matriarch Margaret Beaufort.

Saint Margaret of Scotland was an 11th century Queen of Scotland known for her piety and great acts of charity. She was a princess from the English House of Wessex, which was deposed when William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066 and took the throne. Saint Margaret and her family then fled to Scotland, where she married the Scottish King Malcolm III. Queen Margaret was known throughout Scotland for her kindness and love toward the poor, and for the strengthening the Christian faith in her adopted homeland by promoting more rigorous religious observance.

Geoffrey Chaucer's granddaughter Alice was first married at the age of 11. She was granted a license to marry her third husband on 11th November, 1430; and became defined by her three powerful unions with men she outlived.Having lost her first two husbands in the Hundred Years War, she then settled down with William de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk; a marriage that got her closer than ever to the seat of power. At one point, she even filled in for Queen Margaret on a ceremonial parade in France.In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly marvel at Chaucer's ability to climb the social hierarchy via her marriages; explain why ‘jointures' changed the fortunes of widows in the Middle Ages; and consider the merits of commissioning multiple statues of themselves…Further Reading:• ‘Four Thought: And His Wife' (BBC Radio 4, 2021) - Olly Mann interviews Jessica Barker about medieval statues of women, including Alice Chaucer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000z0c4• ‘Historical Figures: Alice Chaucer, Lady of the Garter' (Just History Posts, 2020): https://justhistoryposts.com/2020/08/11/historical-figures-alice-chaucer-lady-of-the-garter/• ‘'Till Death Us Do Part?

“Holy Father, protect them in your name… so that they may be one” (Jn. 17) If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you say to your friends? How would you say it? The last words of Jesus in the Gospel of John are not a linear argument building to a logical conclusion. Instead they have the form of an ancient rhetorical device called amplification. This speech and the three letters of John share a similar style of cyclical repetition. They use the same vocabulary of hyperbole and exaggeration. They draw stark contrasts between light and darkness, life and death, love and hate, good and evil, truth and falsehood. The goal is to make God’s love really live in our hearts. This is Jesus’ prayer to God for the sake of his friends who do not feel ready to go on without him. He says, “Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one” (Jn. 17). Different followers of Jesus have different ideas of what it means to be one. You will certainly encounter many who believe that being one means thinking and believing all the same things. But I believe we are one in the way a family is one. My mother’s family first immigrated to North America when her oldest brother decided to go to Princeton instead of Oxford. That was where he learned to play the ukulele and Fats Waller on the piano. He married the daughter of an Anglican bishop and had a long successful career in finance. In retirement he went sailing and took up photography. My mother’s sister on the other hand had an entirely different personality. She married a working class man. The two of them were converted in Northern England by Mormon missionaries who convinced them to move to Heber, Arizona where she was passionate about dietary supplements. Three totally different people – one family. That for me is what it means to be one. The calendar of saints shows this, as does the art in our Cathedral. In here we have everyone from the vast lancet window in the apse of Queen Margaret of Scotland to the tiny plate on the step below the baptismal font honoring the former Dean’s wife Janette Limmerick Bartlett. We have stained glass windows with Mary Magdalene and Bridgid, the soldier Martin of Tours along with Walter Rauschenbusch and the Christian Socialists. Today I want to talk about three figures at the bottom of the Theological Reform Window: a Lutheran, a Roman Catholic and a Jew. This is the first sermon in the history of the world about Paul Tillich, Karl Rahner and Martin Buber.

We’re celebrating International Women’s Day by exploring one of Italian history’s most-neglected protagonists, Margaret of Navarre, the Norman Queen of Sicily. We’re joined by Jacqueline Alio, an Italian American now living in Palermo, Sicily, who has written a dozen books on Sicilian history, focusing on the island’s long-overlooked queens. She’ll introduce us to the incredible figure of Queen Margaret, whose five-year reign over the Kingdom of Sicily represents a forgotten chapter from the Norman Sicilian Golden Age. We’ll explore how this singular woman navigated the many intrigues surrounding the Sicilian Monarchy, focused her efforts on creating equality before the law and peace amongst her Kingdom’s many cultures, and rebuilt the Monarchy after serious infighting almost tore the institution to the ground. We’ll examine how unique the idea of a female sovereign was in Margaret’s time, and how her erasure from history might not be accidental. Join us for this fascinating look into the life of a truly regal woman, and an exploration of this long-neglected chapter in Italian history. Click here to learn more about Jacqueline Alio.

After being hired to help run victuals into Stockholm through Queen Margaret of Denmark's blockade, the Victual Brothers turned to piracy, decimating the herring trade and annoying the Hanseatic League. Anne explains all that stuff, and Michelle waxes poetic about the medieval cog, which was apparently an awesome sort of ship. And as a special treat, we append the recording we made wherein we figured out why our sound issues hadn't been solved.

At 31 years old, Margaret of Navarre was the most powerful woman in Europe and the Mediterranean, and she successfully navigated the Kingdom of Sicily from 1166 to 1171, maintaining the progressive constitutional laws her father-in-law, Roger II, had established. Yet until now, historians barely mention her. Experience Sicily's Allison Scola talks with historian and author Jacqueline Alio about the challenges and triumphs of Queen Margaret, reflecting nearly two decades of research.

With the Wars of the Roses now thoroughly underway between King Henry VI, Queen Margaret, and the Duke of York, we get to witness England descend into a state of barbarism -- ruled by a king who wonders why we can’t all just get along. Full of increasingly intense battle and betrayal, Henry VI, Part 3 brings the degradation of civil war to life -- and reveals Shakespeare’s first fully fleshed out character in the Machivellian Richard, Duke of Gloucester -- and soon to be King Richard III. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); illustrative excerpts from: A Game of Thrones, Season 2, Episode 3, “What is Dead May Never Die,” dir.

Henry VI part 2 – Act II Scene 1  King Henry and Queen Margaret, accompanied by quarreling nobles, are hawking in St. Albans when they encounter a miracle.

Henry VI (6 December 1421 – 21 May 1471) was King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471, and disputed King of France from 1422 to 1453. The only child of Henry V, he succeeded to the English throne at the age of nine months upon his father's death, and succeeded to the French throne on the death of his maternal grandfather Charles VI shortly afterwards. Henry inherited the long-running Hundred Years' War (1337–1453), in which his uncle Charles VII contested his claim to the French throne. He is the only English monarch to also have been crowned King of France (as Henry II, in 1431). His early reign, when several people were ruling for him, saw the pinnacle of English power in France, but subsequent military, diplomatic, and economic problems had seriously endangered the English cause by the time Henry was declared fit to rule in 1437. He found his realm in a difficult position, faced with setbacks in France and divisions among the nobility at home. Unlike his father, Henry is described as timid, shy, passive, well-intentioned, and averse to warfare and violence; he was also at times mentally unstable. His ineffective reign saw the gradual loss of the English lands in France. Partially in the hope of achieving peace, in 1445 Henry married Charles VII's niece, the ambitious and strong-willed Margaret of Anjou. The peace policy failed, leading to the murder of one of Henry's key advisers, William de la Pole, and the war recommenced, with France taking the upper hand; by 1453, Calais was Henry's only remaining territory on the continent. As the situation in France worsened, there was a related increase in political instability in England. With Henry effectively unfit to rule, power was exercised by quarrelsome nobles, while factions and favourites encouraged the rise of disorder in the country. Regional magnates and soldiers returning from France formed and maintained increasing numbers of private armed retainers, with whom they fought one another, terrorised their neighbours, paralysed the courts, and dominated the government. Queen Margaret did not remain unpartisan, and took advantage of the situation to make herself an effective power behind the throne. Amidst military disasters in France and a collapse of law and order in England, the queen and her clique came under accusations, especially from Henry VI's increasingly popular cousin Richard of the House of York, of misconduct of the war in France and misrule of the country. Starting in 1453, Henry had a series of mental breakdowns, and tensions mounted between Margaret and Richard of York over control of the incapacitated king's government, and over the question of succession to the throne. Civil war broke out in 1455, leading to a long period of dynastic conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. Henry was deposed on 29 March 1461 after a crushing defeat at the Battle of Towton by Richard's son, who took the throne as Edward IV. Despite Margaret continuing to lead a resistance to Edward, Henry was captured by Edward's forces in 1465 and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Henry was restored to the throne in 1470, but Edward retook power in 1471, killing Henry's only son and heir in battle and imprisoning Henry once again. Having "lost his wits, his two kingdoms, and his only son", Henry died in the Tower during the night of 21 May, possibly killed on the orders of Edward. Miracles were attributed to Henry after his death, and he was informally regarded as a saint and martyr until the 16th century. He left a legacy of educational institutions, having founded Eton College, King's College, Cambridge, and (together with Henry Chichele) All Souls College, Oxford. Shakespeare wrote a trilogy of plays about his life, depicting him as weak-willed and easily influenced by his wife, Margaret. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/allthingsplantagenet/support

Henry VI Part 2 deals with the immediate lead-up to the Wars of the Roses, with court intrigue and tons of backstabbing that results in the First Battle of St. Albans in 1455. Henry VI was an ineffectual king in the actual historical record, and Shakespeare's Henry is that to a 'T'---cuckolded by his wife and goaded into a civil war by his ill-seeming advisers, Henry's eventual downfall is telegraphed quite clearly in this play. He's surrounded by a cast of characters, from his various Dukes and Lords to his own wife, Queen Margaret, to his enemy Richard, Duke of York, to the rebel Jack Cade, who set wheels in motion toward their own separate goals that Henry could not stop on his best day. The lack of leadership from the throne leads to a power vacuum and shows the danger of "vaulting ambition" in the hands of men (and women) of loose morals. Our discussion today touches on the various characters, the source and types of power---be it from kings or "The Commons"--- and the violent nature of this installment, as well as the general strengths of this play (our favourite of the minor tetralogy). And then, in Marriage Counselling this episode, The Bicks debate the topic: Who is the protagonist, the hero, the "good guy" in Henry VI Part 2? Notes: It was not an Admiral from Star Wars that Lindsay thought Henry VI resembled; it was Grand Moff Tarkin. (Lindsay will commence with the cone of shame now...)

The battle of Towton has given Edward IV the throne, but can he keep it? Queen Margaret is working hard to ensure that he does not. But first she needs to find a few allies... Production music courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com

On this day in 1572, Queen Margaret of Valois and Henry of Navarre got married in Paris. The interdenominational marriage — Marguerite was Catholic, and Henry was a Huguenot — should have helped bridge the gap between Protestants and Catholics in France. It did not. On today's "A Classical Day in the Life", we explore the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre and the opera it inspired Giacomo Meyerbeer to write.

In 1455 it briefly looked as though York had won; but in fact it solved nothing - the king remained the centre of power, and the king was weak. By 1457, he had lost his status as Protector, and the Queen was effectively the new ruler of England.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
