Gage and Jessica try to reassure Philadelphia that her celebrity crush on Richard Burbage is nothing of which to be ashamed. Philadelphia doesn't necessarily agree but proudly boasts that she did con his visage to be recalled whenever it fancies her mood.
Today in the ArtZany Radio studio Paula Granquist welcomes from the Northfield Arts Guild production of Shakespeare in Love director Rachel Haider and cast members Will Martin (William Shakespeare), Sara Cronk (Viola DeLesseps), Andy Artley (Lord Wessex), and Brendon Etter (Richard Burbage).

Philadelphia gushes about meeting Richard Burbage in a tiring room. But Gage and Jessica must console her when she realizes his moment has long since passed. Fortunately, she has a time machine to help spare her from such thoughts.
On this day, March 13, 1619, the stage lost one of its greatest stars. Richard Burbage wasn't just an actor—he was Shakespeare's leading man, the original Hamlet, Othello, and King Lear. But his impact went far beyond the stage. From his early years in London to his legendary performances at The Globe Theatre, Burbage helped shape the golden age of English drama. He was a close friend of Shakespeare, a theatre pioneer, and a performer whose talent left an indelible mark on history. Join me as we uncover the life, legacy, and lasting influence of Richard Burbage—the man who first brought Shakespeare's greatest characters to life.

The Curtain Theatre was built in 1577 in a section of London called Shoreditch. Constructed only about 200 yards, or 600 feet, away from The Theater, which is the building James and Richard Burbage built as the first purpose built theater in London. For context, this distance about half a city block in Manhattan, and little less than 1 city block in Chicago. In 1585, the Burbages took advantage of this close proximity and struck a deal with the owner of The Curtain to use it as a second performance venue. From 1597-1599, The Curtain was home to the Lord Chamberlain's Men and saw the staging of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays including Romeo and Juliet, and Henry IV Part 1 and 2. The Curtain also staged contemporary plays by John Marston and even one production of Ben Jonson's Every Man in His Humour in 1598, which is a significant production for Shakespeare history, since William Shakespeare was listed as a member of the cast, making The Curtain theater a place we know Shakespeare would have performed himself. There are no records of the Curtain after 1627, so historians are unclear what happened to cause the theater space to be closed down, but a recent development of a square in Shoreditch is bringing The Curtain back to life by having uncovered remains of The Curtain theater that have not only been preserved, but are being showcased as the new Museum of Shakespeare in London, that will allow patrons to literally stand where Shakespeare once stood. Here today to share with us the details behind the dig, and how you can visit the Museum of Shakespeare, is our guest, and lead archaeologist for the excavation with the Museum of London Archaeology, Heather Knight.

Philadelphia is over the moon about her new paramour, Richard Burbage, and adores his wooing her with the words of the great romantic characters of the time. Jessica and Gage wonder if it is all a 'con'.
Philadelphia denies that meeting star of the 16th Globe Theater, Richard Burbage, has left her awestruck. Jessica and Gage consider the power of celebrity, then and now.
Stéphanie Hochet « William » (Rivages)Que s'est-il passé dans la vie de William Shakespeare entre 1585 et 1592, de ses vingt et un à vingt-huit ans ? Personne ne le sait. Ce sont ces « années perdues » que Stéphanie Hochet se plaît ici à imaginer.William, marié prématurément et père de trois enfants, étouffe dans le carcan familial. Il ne rêve que d'une chose: devenir acteur. Il se joint alors aux Comédiens de la Reine qui cherchent un remplaçant. Dans une Angleterre où sévit la peste, son sort bascule et sa vocation de dramaturge s'affirme. Ses rencontres avec le ténébreux Richard Burbage, qui lui inspirera le personnage de Richard III, et le fascinant Marlowe seront décisives. Elles dicteront son destin.Avec un art subtil du portrait, l'autrice évoque aussi en écho les thématiques et les passages de sa propre vie qui justifient son attachement à la figure de Shakespeare : l'androgynie, l'emprise des aînés, le désir de fuite, l'idée du suicide… Une forme inédite du roman d'apprentissage.Musique : « My funny Valentine » Chet Baker

"Hi-Diddly-Dee An Actor's Life For Me!" Please welcome Actor, Creative & all round 'prolific pants' Stewart Wright atop a bus on the way to Kathmandu in the halcyon days of being 19 for his 'Clearing', as we talk the combined passions of life, family, rugby and acting.Recorded also as a Facebook LIVE: https://www.facebook.com/730074635/videos/1030198231024253/Actor Stewart Wright, soon to be seen as “Devina Delish, the Cross Dressing Plumber” in “Midsomer Murders” and to answer the question that we've all been asking: “Dude, Where's My Donkey?” Also due to be appearing as “BS3 Santa” on a doorstep near you in Bristol at Christmas - and as “Barney the Postman” in a Christmas film on Netflix with a cheeky appearance in between in the West End as Richard Burbage (of Shakespeare's Lord Chamberlain Company) in “Upstart Crow” - with David Mitchell as the Bard himself - William Shakespeare!Marvellous!More about Stewart from Reg Starkey - Editor of UK Health Triangle Magazine: Sugar-free Stewart Wright is a fascinatingly competitive English character actor. He has done remarkably well on TV and in films, as well as on stage. When Covid closed theatres but allowed freedom to move, he took his talent onto the streets, knocking on doors in the Christmas season with a degree of success that surprised even him. Stewart displays classical English charm, with traditional reserve. His parents were both doctors, who could not heal themselves and chose instead to go their different ways very early in Stewart's young life. Perhaps it was then that he first picked up the theatrical masks of comedy and tragedy, hiding his true feelings politely in the process? He was sent away to boarding school, where he first trod the boards and got a taste for the ‘smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd'. But where he really excelled was on the rugby field. Despite a serious knee injury aged 14, Stewart became Captain of Wellington's first XV and dreamed daily of playing for England. He was was definitely on track when he was selected for an England under 18 trial - but his hopes were shattered by a recurrence of his earlier injury. The possibility of playing professional rugby was kicked savagely into the longest grass. Stewart was left in the lonely field of the eternal subjunctive: the might- have-been. Aged 19, footloose and fiancée free, Stewart found his way to Kathmandu, enjoying the excesses of gap-year-style freedom before committing to three years at Drama School back in London. He never stopped watching top quality rugby or loving it - but acting became his new passion. In those early years, Stewart ran through Agents and girlfriends like a precocious child running through newly mown hay. By his own admission, his twenties and most of his thirties were mainly completely out of balance, addictive even. Yet as you can see from his Wikipedia page, they were also full of professional success - particularly in TV and on film, including now a new Bollywood biopic on Rugby as Paul Walsh and numerous new creative projects. For Stewart, his new and better-balanced life only really began at 40, when he got married to Celia and started his own family. The wild child, wounded by his own parents' divorce, was determined to create a secure, stable and loving environment for his wife and their two young sons. Meaningful creative work remains enormously important to this recently rebalanced individual - but family is now infinitely more important. Check him out. He remains highly competitive…Stewart Wright may once have been a headache - but he never was a bore!www.stewartwright.net

This Food & Farming podcast episode is part of the Maternal Matters campaign being led by AHDB promoting the production of heifers that are efficient, profitable and fit for the future. Our Knowledge Exchange Manager Amy Hughes speaks to suckler producer Pete Burbage who farms alongside his brother Richard in Northamptonshire. Pete talks about breeding technologies in the suckler herd and how using synchronisation, AI and sexed semen has benefited his farm business. Pete has been able to tighten the calving period to nine weeks and the new technologies have improved the maternal traits being bred into the herd. It can be an expensive investment, however, Pete and Richard have seen a significant return on investment and believe they are better off than they would be having a bull on farm and paying to manage it all through the year. Pete calves his heifers at two-years old and puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of good management and good nutrition for the heifers when trying to get them in second calf. He says: “Calving at two-years-old is reliant on good nutrition to establish the right growth weights. Use quality forage and quality grass and weigh regularly to make sure they are on the right track. At the end of the day, they are trying to grow themselves, get in calf and feed a calf, which is achievable but need to manage accordingly.” Find out more about Pete and Richard Burbage: http://www.prburbage.co.uk/contact-us/ Find out more about AHDB's Maternal Matters campaign: https://ahdb.org.uk/maternal-matters Thank you for listening.

Shakespeare's Birthday Month continues with Part Two with our conversation with Dr Edel Semple from University College in Cork, Ireland, and Dr. Ronan Hatfull from the University of Warwick, talking about Shakespearean Biofiction onstage, screen, and this week on the page, too. We share love for both Hamnet the novel by Maggie O’Farrell and Hamnet the play (by Irish companies Dead Centre and the Abbey Theatre); brushes with greatness (in the forms of playwright Edward Bond and comedian Eddie Izzard); and we discuss all the big questions: how intimidating it can be putting words into Shakespeare’s mouth; how biofiction can speculate realistically or fantastically about where Shakespeare’s genius comes from; whether Shakespeare is, in fact, worth it; how Shakespeare compares to Leontes in The Winter's Tale; how we can avoid spoilers for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier; what's amazing about Lauren Gunderson’s The Book of Will; and, amazingly, the good things in Roland Emmerich’s film Anonymous. (Pictured, clockwise from top left: Laurie Davidson as the title character in the miniseries Will; Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell; Austin Tichenor as Richard Burbage in Lauren Gunderson's The Book of Will at Northlight Theatre, photo by Liz Lauren; and Kenneth Branagh as William Shakespeare in All Is True.) (Length 22:31) The post More Shakespearean Biofiction appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.
In this first part of This Week in Tudor History for the week beginning 15th March, historian and author Claire Ridgway looks at the life and career of a bishop who started out as a monk but whose conversion to the reformed faith saw him dying an awful death in the reign of Queen Mary I, before moving on to the death of a soldier, translator and diplomat in Henry VIII's reign, and the death of a Tudor earl and brother-in-law of a queen who was once known as Black Will Herbert. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link: https://youtu.be/zHsl0AvXRAY 15th March 1554, in the reign of Queen Mary I - John Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester, was deprived of his bishopric while imprisoned in Fleet Prison.

He'd started his career as a Cistercian monk though! 16th March 1533, in the reign of King Henry VIII - soldier, translator and diplomat, John Bourchier, 2nd Baron Berners, died at Calais, while serving as Deputy of Calais. He was a translator of some renown. 17th March 1570, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I - William Herbert, 1st Earl of Pembroke, soldier, courtier and landowner, died at Hampton Court, aged sixty-three.

Who were the actors who first performed Shakespeare’s plays? You might know the names of some of the King’s Men—the company of which Shakespeare was a shareholder—like Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, or Robert Armin. But who were their co-stars? How were they cast? And what was it like to watch their performances? In this episode, we talk to Dr. Lucy Munro, author of the latest book in Bloomsbury’s Shakespeare in the Theatre series, The King’s Men. By exploring theatrical contracts, the handful of existing cast lists, and what there is of 16th- and early 17th-century theater criticism, the book gives us a peek into the inner workings of the company that brought Shakespeare’s plays to life for the first time. Munro is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. Dr. Lucy Munro is a lecturer in Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at King's College London. She is the author of Children of the Queen’s Revels: A Jacobean Theatre Repertory, published by Cambridge University Press in 2005, and Archaic Style in English Literature, 1590-1674, published by Cambridge in 2013. She is the editor John Fletcher's Taming of the Shrew-sequel, The Tamer Tamed, for Methuen Drama in 2010. Her latest, Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King’s Men, was published by Bloomsbury in 2020.

We had technical help from Andrew Feliciano and Evan Marquart at Voice Trax West in Studio City, California.
For the entirety of Shakespeare’s life, the Tabard Inn was a well established public inn on the mainstreet of Southwark, leading to London Bridge, and it was famous because Chaucer had set the opening scene of The Canterbury Tales there, but according to a 27 page hand written document once owned by famous antiquary David Laing, the Tabard Inn served as a frequent meeting place for William Shakespeare, who gathered there with famous friends like Richard Burbage, Ben Jonson, and other “roystering associates” of the 16th century, all of whom carved their names into the wooden panels of this iconic public house in an act of graffiti that turns out to be a key piece of history.This paper record was left unnoticed for decades inside the Edinburgh University Library until a reference to it was rediscovered by Martha Carlin in 2013. Martha is Professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and she joins us today to share with us her fantastic discovery, the history of the Tabard Inn, why Shakespeare and his friends were writing on the walls there in the late 16th century.
This week the podcast host, Denise, discusses acting training during the Elizabethan era, fencing, apprenticeships, Richard Burbage and how Shakespeare affected the acting scene of those times and paved a way for the performing arts nowadays. The Actor's Vow is also introducing the Sunday Spotlight series, which will be announced in the episode!
On this day in history, 16th March 1619, actor Richard Burbage was buried at St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch. Burbage was a famous actor in the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I, peforming for royalty and even being in King James' company of players. Burbage was also a good friend of William Shakespeare, and the two men were involved in the building of the famous Globe Theatre. Find out more about Richard Burbage, his life and career, in today's talk from Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society. You can see this podcast as a video at the following link:https://youtu.be/mTvT72U5My8 Also on this day in Tudor history, 16th March 1589, two Roman Catholic priests, Robert Dalby and John Amias, were executed as traitors at York.

For William Shakespeare’s London, multiple races were commonplace on the streets near The Globe theater where plays like Othello and Merchant of Venice boldy portrayed blackness and multiple ethnicities in performance, but what was the 16th century perspective on race when they saw various ethnicities on stage? Othello was first portrayed by Richard Burbage, who was a white man, so did Shakespeare use blackface makeup? Was that costume technique offensive to his audience the way it would be in a modern theater? Here to help us explore the role of race on stage, and the cultural understanding of ethnicities for people like William Shakespeare is our guest, Andrea Stevens. Andrea Stevens is Associate Professor of English, Theatre, and Medieval Studies at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign specializing in the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. She is the author of Invention of the Skin, which explores costumes, makeup, and representations of race on stage in Shakespeare’s lifetime, and the role of blackface makeup in performance on stage for 16th century theater.

When we talk about Shakespeare’s theaters, most often we mean The Globe, with it’s iconic “O’ shape, we sometimes forget that Shakespeare’s plays were actually performed in a variety of venues, and that William was involved in starting the first indoor theater anywhere in the world when he, and his longtime business partner Richard Burbage, established the then-risky venue, The Blackfriars. With the only accurate replica of The Blackfriars in the world, no one knows the history of this theater better than The American Shakespeare Center, which is why we’ve asked Sarah Enloe, the Director of Education at The ASC to visit with us today and take us behind the curtain to look at the history of Shakespeare’s lesser known, but equally as innovative, indoor theater, The Blackfriars.

Kevin Kenerly is a 22-year veteran of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and is currently playing Richard Burbage in Lauren Gunderson's The Book of Will (after having played Burbage in Shakespeare in Love in 2017). Kevin talks with Austin Tichenor (who played Burbage in the Northlight Theatre production in 2017 and blogged about it for the Folger Shakespeare Library) about his approach to playing Shakespeare's leading man, how he first came to Shakespeare, how the role of Burbage resembles Cyrano de Bergerac, inspirational teacher shoutouts, impressive instruments, the magic of different interpretations, a love for language, the pleasure of needing no clue, Michael Caine aphorisms, how theatre sleeps when we do, and ultimately how Shakespeare and microbrew prove to be an unbeatable combination. Featuring a special appearance from Lauren Gunderson herself! (Pictured: David Kelly as Henry Condell, Kevin Kenerly as Richard Burbage, and Jeffrey King as John Heminges. From the Oregon Shakespeare Festival production of Lauren Gunderson's The Book of Will, directed by Christopher Liam Moore.) (Length 22:56)
Imagine where we'd be without Shakespeare's plays. It's difficult to contemplate now. But it was thanks to another man that many of them were brought to life. Today, Richard Burbage is a not a household name. But he should be. He's the man for whom many of the great Shakespearean roles were created. One of the founding members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, playing at the newly built Globe in 1599, he's one of the foundations upon which British theatre was built. Andrew Dickson talks to leading actors, rummages among the archives and dissects some of the greatest parts in acting to discover Burbage's crucial role - and realises that without Richard Burbage, there could be no Shakespeare. Producer: Penny Murphy
