Robert O'Hara joins us to talk about directing last year's Shakespeare in the Park production of Richard III, starring Danai Gurira of Marvel's "Black Panther." He tells us about gathering a diverse cast of actors with disabilities, wanting to “trigger” his audiences, and what it's like to get a call about directing Shakespeare in the Park (spoiler: it's a whirlwind). Robert O'Hara is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. A film of Richard III premiered on PBS's Great Performances on Friday, May 19, and is streaming now on the PBS App and at pbs.org/gperf.

When Stephan Wolfert was 24 years old, he found himself at a crossroad. After serving as a medic and infantry officer in the US Army, Stephan's lifetime of grief and trauma became overwhelming. Drunk and suicidal, Stephan wandered into a random theatre's production of “Richard: III” where his life was transformed when he recognized himself as a misfit like the main character. After choosing to leave the service, Stephan began examining Shakespeare from a military veteran's perspective, working with fellow military veterans and scientists, and using Shakespeare's text and classical actor training to heal trauma and to aid in the transition from military service back into life as a civilian. Today, Stephan powerfully shares his story in order to broaden the understanding of PTSD and other mental health challenges faced by our veterans through his theatre-therapy network DE-CRUIT. My friends, if you or someone you love is seeking to understand trauma and how to start coming back from it, this conversation is for you.

Lars Eidinger ist einer der gefragtesten Schauspieler in Deutschland, im Fernsehen, im Kino und als begnadeter Darsteller auf der Theaterbühne. Keine Aufgabe scheint ihm zu schwer, keine Herausforderung zu groß - er ist Hamlet im Berliner Ensemble, Alfred Nyssen in "Babylon Berlin", Jedermann bei den Salzburger Festspielen, Richard III solo auf der Bühne in Paris, Serienmörder im Kieler Tatort, neurotischer Nazi in "Persischstunden" oder einfach nur der liebende Bruder. Und er kann noch vieles mehr. Eidinger spielt körperbetont und manches Mal bis zur körperlichen und psychischen Erschöpfung. Das Publikum zieht er immer wieder aufs Neue in seinen Bann. Gerade hat Regisseur Reiner Holzemer einen Dokumentarfilm über Lars Eidinger gedreht. Dafür hat er ihn über fast 8 Monate bei der Arbeit begleitet und aus nächster Nähe beobachtet: "Ich habe Lars Eidinger als einen tiefgründigen Künstler kennengelernt, der die Möglichkeiten der Schauspielkunst jeden Tag neu erforscht und dabei noch lange nicht an seine Grenzen gestoßen ist." Ab dem 23. März ist der Film in den Kinos zu sehen. Darin zu sehen: Viele Nahaufnahmen des Schauspielers bei der Arbeit, aber auch in Ausnahmesituationen. "Der Mann hat ein großes Ego.

Nate shares how Shakespeare's plays got seeded; which plays were the hardest to match up; how a play's reputation affect its seeding; a production of As You Like It for which Barenaked Ladies wrote the songs (what??); the deep bench of Twelfth Night; tough decisions regarding Richard III; the unsurprising dominance of number one seeds; some surprising bracket-busters; a couple of heart-breaking matchups; what play would win out of ten games; and how the proof of each play's strengths come in production.

Matt Lewis concludes his four special episodes on medieval mysteries with perhaps the most enduring historical enigma of them all.For more than 500 years, people have speculated about the disappearance of King Edward V - aged 12, and his nine-year-old brother Richard of Shrewsbury, Duke of York. They were lodged in the Tower of London by their paternal uncle the Duke of Gloucester, supposedly in preparation for Edward's coronation. But before the young king could be crowned, Gloucester ascended the throne as Richard III. The brothers vanished - and it's generally assumed that they were murdered, probably by Richard. But Matt Lewis thinks differently.This episode was mixed and edited by Anisha Deva and produced by Rob Weinberg.If you're enjoying this podcast and are looking for more fascinating Medieval content then subscribe to our Medieval Monday newsletter here.If you'd like to learn even more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe today!

Actor Adjoa Andoh has a list of TV, theatre and film credits as long as your arm. She's best known worldwide as Bridgerton's Lady Danbury, and is due to direct - and star in the title role - in a new production of Richard III. Her great life is the 20th century American writer and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, author of "Their Eyes Were Watching God". An iconic figure in the literature of the jazz age, her name was all but forgotten after her death in 1960, before being pulled back into public consciousness in the US by "The Color Purple" author Alice Walker, who famously wrote: "A people do not throw their geniuses away". With the help of fellow enthusiast Dr Janine Bradbury, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Writing and Culture at the University of York, Adjoa makes the case that we should all know more about Zora, a trailblazer who - on top of her writing career - researched zombies in the Caribbean and helped collect the stories of slavery's last survivors.

Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, was well acquainted with the politics of Tudor court. His father and grandfather were both noblemen who served several different kings on the English throne, from King Henry V to Richard III. Edward Stafford learned at a young age the price one can pay if their allegiance to the king is questioned. With a strong royal bloodline himself, the 3rd Duke of Buckingham had to play the game carefully in an effort to keep the young King Henry VIII on his good side. And as we all know, that can be the hardest game of all.

Shakespeare a-t-il vraiment écrit ses pièces ?

Choses à Savoir

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 23, 2023 2:25


L'un des plus grands écrivains de tous les temps, William Shakespeare, est-il vraiment l'auteur de ses pièces ? Pour certains, la question n'est pas aussi incongrue qu'elle peut le paraître. Elle se pose en tous cas depuis près de deux siècles. Ceux qui réfutent à Shakespeare la paternité de ses œuvres mettent en avant un certain nombre d'arguments. Le premier d'entre eux est la quasi absence de documents attestant la rédaction de ces pièces par Shakespeare. Ainsi, il n'existe pas de manuscrits ou de brouillons de ces pièces, ni de notes prises par cet écrivain. Par ailleurs, les sceptiques doutent qu'un homme d'une aussi modeste origine ait pu acquérir les connaissances nécessaires à la rédaction de ses œuvres. Ils se demandent où ce fils de gantier, né en 1564, dans la petite ville de Stratford-upon-Avon, aurait été chercher les informations qui lui ont permis de décrire, avec une grande précision parfois, les règnes de Richard III ou d'Henry V ou comment il aurait acquis les notions juridiques qui apparaissent dans ses pièces. Mais pour nombre de spécialistes et d'universitaires, il n'existe aucune preuve sérieuse d'une telle supercherie littéraire. On a plutôt des raisons de croire que Shakespeare fut bien l'auteur de ses pièces et de ses sonnets. On possède en effet des copies imprimées de certaines pièces de Shakespeare, sur lesquelles figure son nom. Il existe également, au sein de la compagnie théâtrale dont il faisait partie, des traces de son activité d'acteur. Par ailleurs, les détracteurs de Shakespeare n'ont pu se mettre d'accord pour attribuer ses écrits à un autre écrivain. Le très grand nombre d'auteurs auxquels on a pu attribuer l'écriture des pièces de Shakespeare, dont Francis Bacon ou le dramaturge Christopher Marlowe, montre bien, pour ses partisans, la légèreté d'une hypothèse étayée par aucun élément solide. Ils rappellent enfin que le candidat jugé le plus sérieux, Edward de Vere, comte d'Oxford, est mort en 1604, soit des années avant la publication de certains chefs-d'œuvre de Shakespeare, comme "Le Roi Lear" ou "Macbeth".

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for January 22, 2023 is: short shrift • SHORT-SHRIFT • noun Short shrift is most often used to mean “little or no attention or consideration.” It is also sometimes synonymous with “quick work” as in “she made short shrift of that jigsaw puzzle.” // Year-end “best of” lists can be fun to read, but because taste is subjective, they will always end up giving short shrift to someone's favorite movies, albums, etc. See the entry > Examples: “People should make boring predictions more often. Like boring opinions, they are more common and more likely to be accurate, but they get short shrift because they don't fit the easy narratives of success or failure.” — Gideon Lichfield, Wired.com, 13 Dec. 2022 Did you know? We've got a confession to make, but we'll keep it brief: while it's technically possible to make “long shrift” of something, you're unlikely to find long shrift in our (virtual or actual) pages anytime soon. Short shrift, on the other hand, has been keeping it real—real terse, that is—for centuries. The earliest known use of the phrase comes from William Shakespeare's play Richard III, in which Lord Hastings, who has been condemned by King Richard to be beheaded, is told by Sir Richard Ratcliffe to “Make a short shrift” as the king “longs to see your head.” Although now archaic, the noun shrift was understood in Shakespeare's time to refer to the confession or absolution of sins, so “make a short shrift” meant, quite literally, “keep your confession short.” However, since at least the 19th century the phrase has been used figuratively to refer to a small or inadequate amount of time or attention given to something.

We all think we know the story of Richard III and Henry VII, or do we? Richard III is often portrayed as a child-murdering usurper whose reign was brought to a bloody end by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth. It was a grudge match to decide who would become King of England, but how true is this story really? In this episode, we'll find out as we ask the big questions about Richard III and Henry VII. Did Richard kill the princes in the tower? Were the motives of Henry's supporters honest ones? Who was the better king and why did they both end up so unpopular? And, how did these two men end up fighting each other for the crown? Representing Richard III is Matt Lewis presenter of Gone Medieval, Chair of the Richard III Society and author of numerous books on Richard and the Wars of the Roses. Matt takes on Nathen Amin author of Henry VII and the Tudor Pretenders: Simnel, Warbeck And Warwick who represents Henry VII. They answer the big questions about these two controversial Monarchs and as you'll hear they might have more in common than you might think.

On this episode, we talk with Sir Ian McKellan. Last year, he played Hamlet in an age-blind production of the play at the Theatre Royal Windsor, returning to the role for the first time since 1971. Then, at this year's Edinburgh Fringe, McKellen played Hamlet again, speaking the part alongside a ballet dancer in a production directed by Peter Schaufuss. Now, he's is appearing as King Hamlet's ghost in an essay film about the play called Hamlet Within. McKellen joined us from his home in East London for an extended conversation with Barbara Bogaev.
