Our next guest helps us explore role playing games (RPG). I've never personally played, but our guest makes it approachable and exciting. The first half of the episode explores his upbringing in Nebraska and some of his earliest memories of creating narratives through adventure. We transition into his time in Theater and some of the nuances that come with that industry. We end the episode exploring his current endeavor, Rough Magic Games. An organization that creates opportunities for friends and strangers to come together and dive into a RPG over good food and drinks. They collaborate with cafes, restaurants, and bars in the city. Please enjoy my conversation with Christian Stokeshttps://roughmagicgames.comhttps://instagram.com/rough.magic.rpg

The actor who plays Jaskier (Joey Batey) in The Witcher guest stars in this episode of Shakespeare & Hathaway, so we brainstorm ways to get more monsters (not just fairies) into Shakespeare's plays. Jacob disrespects the "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy, Jessica conjures up the most baroque guess we've ever had (seriously, it involves harpists out for revenge) and we debate if we'd rather party with hobbits or Geralt. We watched Shakespeare & Hathaway, series 1, episode 4, "This Rough Magic." Hey! Check out www.cluedunnitpodcast.com and let us know what you guessed, your logic cop catches, and anything else!

King Alonso grows increasingly despondent over the loss of his son, giving Antonia and Sebastian confidence that they will soon take power. They stumble upon a sumptuous feast presented by mysterious beings and waste no time gorging themselves before Ariel appears as a harpy and chastises Alonso, Sebastian and Antonia for their sinful acts, past and present. Elsewhere, Caliban encourages Stephano to carry out the murder of Prospero, which he vows to do until Trinculo stumbles upon the clothing and finery that Prospero and Ariel have laid as a trap to distract them. Caliban urges them to ignore the rich garments but Trinculo and Stephano get carried away with the luxury of the robes, gathering them greedily until Prospero unleashes his supernatural hounds to attack the conspirators and chase them into a frenzy. He revels in their misery and urges his dogs on in the attack but Ariel convinces him to ease his vengeance. At last, Prospero softens and vows to give up his magical powers once he performs his final act.

You can read a review of This Rough Magic by Suzanne Fox on the blog Mary Stewart Reading.On this episode of Tart Words, Suzanne Fox and Linda Hengerer are discussing Mary Stewart’s book This Rough Magic and how she uses a dolphin as both needing rescue and being the rescuer, and plays characters off each other who are at the beginning and end of their respective careers. It was first published in 1964 by Hodder & Stoughton and is now available in ebook editions. Description from Amazon:Lucy Waring, a young, out-of-work actress from London, leaps at the chance to visit her sister for a summer on the island paradise of Corfu, and what's more, a famous but reclusive actor is staying in a villa nearby. But Lucy's hopes for rest and romance are shattered when a body washes up on the beach and she finds herself swept up in a chilling chain of events. I shuddered, and drank my coffee, leaning back in my chair to gaze out across pine tops furry with gold towards the sparkling sea, and surrendering myself to the dreamlike feeling that marks the start of a holiday . . .Takeaways for writers:In This Rough Magic, Lucy Waring is a young actress at the beginning of her career, and renowned actor Sir Julian Gale is at the end of his career. While at different stages and with different skills, they enjoy each other’s company and catching up on the London stage scene. Mary Stewart gives the reader all the information they need to understand William Shakespeare’s The Tempest by having Lucy and Sir Julian talk about the play; Lucy also gets information about why Sir Julian thinks Corfu was the setting for The Tempest from other characters. Lucy is in the bay with the dolphin when she realizes someone is shooting into the water. To scare the dolphin away from danger and to alert the shooter of her presence, she jumps out, splashes around, and shouts up to where she thinks the shooter is. Near the end of the book, the dolphin Lucy befriended helps get her to safety. Exercises for writers: Characters – How do you show characters at different stages in the same profession? How do you show tension when characters are trying to keep information from each other, using subtext and action instead of dialogue?Backstory – Do you drip in backstory only as the reader needs that information? Read your work in progress from the beginning, and only leave in the relevant information about the character’s past that the reader needs to understand the story at that moment.Structure – Scenes with the dolphin bookend This Rough Magic. Lucy rescues the dolphin in the beginning of the story and the dolphin rescues Lucy at the end of the story. Do you structure your plot lines to answer story questions in the reverse order that they are introduced in the story? Read your favorite book in the genre you’re writing in, and note at what point story questions are introduced and at what point, and in what order, those story questions are answered.
For generations, artists have been shaping and changing Shakespeare to fit their times. The best adaptations add specific textures of place and culture, or a fluidity of language that can take centuries-old work and make it brand new. Seattle Shakespeare Company is presenting one of those works: a Salvadoran-American adaptation of "Hamlet" called "house of sueños," by actor and playwright Meme García. In "house of sueños," sisters Rina and Amelia prepare to celebrate Mom’s marriage to their new Stepdad. But when Amelia tells her sister of the mysterious voice and shadowy figure she saw in the attic last night, it becomes clear that not all in this house is as it seems.

Central AsiaGuest: Shoshana Keller, Professor of History at Hamilton College and author of "Russia and Central Asia: Coexistence, Conquest, Convergence"Stalin ordered the nomadic peoples of Central Asia to settle down and become members of Soviet states, and the five "-stans" are still reeling from that dramatic change today. But in some ways, residents have come to relish their modern identities. Winning the Mongol DerbyGuest: Lara Prior-Palmer, author of "Rough Magic: Riding the World's Loneliest Horse Race"Lara Prior-Palmer was the first woman, and youngest person ever, to win the Mongol Derby, a 1000-km race through wild Mongolian steppes.

Today we welcome bestselling author Lara Prior Palmer to talk about the gap year that inspired her book, Rough Magic. At the age of nineteen, Lara Prior-Palmer discovered a website devoted to “the world’s longest, toughest horse race”―an annual competition of endurance and skill that involves dozens of riders racing a series of twenty-five wild ponies across 1,000 kilometers of Mongolian grassland. Lara ultimately became the youngest and first-ever woman to win the race. Margo, Julia and Lara discuss the entirety of Lara's gap year, what it was like competing as a woman and why she thinks all young people should consider the magical uncertainty of gap time. ***CONTEST ALERT*** We are running an Instagram contest to give away a copy of Lara's book!

She won it.Her book 'Rough Magic' is a poetic, twisting, wonderful account of the race, and is written unlike many other memoirs. It's been critically acclaimed, sold hugely well and took Lara 5 years to write. We talk about why she felt the need to get the adventure down on paper, how it initially came really easy to her, and why she is still analysing how she wrote even now.You can hear about poetry, characterisation and being a free-spirit.

Ten of Ireland's leading theatres, drama festivals and theatre companies have agreed to a range of gender equality policies, which in some cases will see “gender-blind casting” or ensuring that half of new shows will be written by women. The gender equality policy for the theatre sector, launched by Minister for Culture Josepha Madigan, arose from the Waking the Feminists campaign to address the under-representation of women, including writers and directors, in Irish theatre. Roísín Ingle talks to academic Dr Brenda Donohue, who has produced a study on the subject, & Lynne Parker, director and co-founder of Rough Magic theatre company.
