Imagine making a film set in a town where dancing is illegal. Imagine that bit being the true story element of said film. Imagine that not one of the team had ever seen 1984's Footloose in full before this very week. SCENES, such very eighties scenes, in this week's Rated or Dated, chosen by Offord, montaged by Bacon.  Before that, Mick's been on the Zoom with comedian Olga Koch to chat about her latest show, Prawn Cocktail, the masters she did in lockdown, which looks at parasocial relationships and how the two might come together.  Hannah's been to see Othello at The Globe's Sam Wanamaker theatre, a new production directed by Ola Ince, and she loved it. Hannah chats to Ola about placing Othello in a police force, putting words in Shakespeare's character's mouths, and why she's put a second black man onstage in a play which quite on purpose only ever has one. In Jenny Off the Blocks, Jen's talking about allyship in football (we can all wave our scarves in celebration at CANDI Utd's recent actions), while over in the Bush Telegraph, we're getting up to date on who's in charge of France and what a nutritious breakfast looks like, as well as looking at some bad maths for women. 

Tune in to Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse" for an engaging broadcast of "Hay Fever," a timeless radio play by the acclaimed playwright Noel Coward. Aired in 1947 on CBS, this radio adaptation brings Coward's comedic genius to life. Set in the English countryside, "Hay Fever" is a witty narrative centered around the peculiar Bliss family. The story unfolds over a weekend, filled with romantic confusions and humorous misunderstandings. Leading the cast is Evelyn Carden as Judith Bliss, the flamboyant retired actress, alongside Everett Sloane who portrays David Bliss, her novelist husband. Their children, Sorel and Simon Bliss, are charmingly enacted by Anne Burr and William Woodson. The play also features Jane Cowl as Myra Arundel, Sam Wanamaker as Sandy Tyrell, Vanessa Brown as Jackie Coryton, Paul Stewart as Richard Greatham, and Agnes Moorehead in the role of Clara, the housekeeper. This episode of "Sunday Night Playhouse" promises a delightful journey into Coward's comedic world, showcasing the intricate dynamics of the Bliss family and their weekend guests. Join us on Vintage Classic Radio this Sunday for a memorable rendition of Noel Coward's "Hay Fever," a classic piece of 20th-century theatre, adapted exquisitely for radio.

Episode 074: Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Kirsten Shepherd-Barr Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Henrik Ibsen's dark family drama Ghosts provoked outrage when it was published in 1881, its treatment of sexual disease, incest and euthanasia too much for the critics. More than 140 years later its portrait of repressed truths and social hypocrisy remains as powerful as ever. As we record this episode a new adaptation of Ghosts by Joe Hill-Gibbons is playing in the Sam Wanamaker theatre at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London. Kirsten Shepherd-Barr, Professor English and Theatre Studies at St Catherine's College, Oxford, joins us to review Ibsen's unflinching drama.

Take a trip to London, England. Host (and native Brit) Alan Campbell took a trip "across the pond" to visit the home of Benjamin Franklin, Jimi Hendrix's flat, and the reconstructed Globe Theatre where actor and director Sam Wanamaker labored for years. We hear stories from historians and tour guides about why these gentleman fell in love with London and what they accomplished there. This episode of Watching America originally aired September 2022, soon after the passing of Queen Elizabeth.

Welcome back to another “super” exciting episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. On this week's episode, the guys are once again joined by Jose from the Watch/Skip+ podcast to discuss 1987's superhero film - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. What do you get when you combine the Man of Steel and The Cannon Group? You get a commercial and critical failure, and the end of Christopher Reeves as Superman. Made with a comparatively tiny budget, The Quest for Peace is best known for terrible special effects, a total lack of scientific knowledge, and slo-mo WWE wrestling in space. Does The Quest for Peace have enough charm to make it watchable? Why is Jon Cryer in this movie doing his impression of a “Valley Girl?” Did Brad just do a Rodney Dangerfield impression?

Nicholas Hammond shares life lessons learned from being the first live-action Peter Parker/Spider-Man and working with Julie Andrews on The Sound of Music. Nicholas Hammond was the first actor to play a live-action Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the 1970s. We discuss how Nicholas landed the role and what it meant to him to be the star of his own show. We dive into the decisions made on the show that upset Stan Lee and we discuss the current movies and with their approach to the Multi-verse how a 1970s Spider-Man could make a comeback.  Before Nicholas became the first prime-time web-slinger he had a starring role as one of the 30 children in the original Lord of the Flies (1963) movie. We discuss the making of that movie and how the director navigated such a disturbing tale with unknown 10-year-olds.   We also discuss Nicholas's role as Friedrich Von Trapp in The Sound of Music. Working directly with Julie Andrews had a profound impact on Nicholas's life and he share the lessons learned early on working with such an amazing person as Julie Andrews.  We also discuss the time Nicholas was the big man on campus and what it was like creating a one-time iconic character on The Brady Bunch.  This episode is... well... Amazing and ends with Nicholas's story on landing the role of Sam Wanamaker in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood.  Our Guest, Nicholas Hammond https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358749/ Also featured on the show: Hashtag Fun: Jeff dives into recent trends and reads some of his favorite tweets from trending hashtags.

口袋抓马 VOL.03解读“莎士比亚剧本在舞台上的呈现” 主讲者：荣广润你真正了莎士比亚的剧本吗？音频来源于2016年【戏剧·对话】-《莎士比亚的悲喜绝唱之人间篇》为何说把莎翁剧本搬上舞台是极具挑战性的？当中国戏曲遇上莎士比亚又将擦出什么样的火花呢？4月23日是莎士比亚的生日，莎翁的剧作已经成为了全人类的共同财富，上海话剧艺术中心“口袋抓马”的第三期线上活动，特邀上海戏剧学院教授荣广润老师带领你开启本场“口袋抓马·环球戏剧之旅”，让我们一起用特别的线上方式纪念这位伟大的戏剧家。知识点1莎士比亚在全球的影响力威廉·莎士比亚 William Shakespeare英国戏剧家（1564-1616）莎士比亚是英国文学史上最杰出的戏剧家，也是欧洲文艺复兴时期最重要、最伟大的作家。在全世界剧作家里，很难找到第二个人能像莎士比亚一样，有着世界性的影响力，并且受到全球极大地重视。每年4月23日，在莎士比亚的故乡都有盛大的群众游行。当地镇上居民和外来的莎士比亚爱好者穿着色彩鲜艳的传统服装，聚集在这个镇上，用较传统的方式来纪念莎士比亚。除此以外，聊到莎翁，就不得不提莎士比亚环球剧场和皇家莎士比亚剧团。莎士比亚环球剧场(Shakespeare's Globe)由演员以及导演萨姆·沃纳梅克(Sam Wanamaker)创立，莎士比亚环球剧场其实是对环球剧场(Globe Theatre)的重建。1599年最初建造了一个伊丽莎白小剧场，1613年被火灾烧毁，于1614年重建，1644年被再次毁坏。现代重建后在1997年随着亨利五世（Henry V）作品的上演而开放，莎翁的主要作品都在该剧院上演。皇家莎士比亚剧团(Royal Shakespeare Company；简称RSC)是英国最具有影响力的剧团之一，也是目前世界上规模最大、组织最健全、经费最足、演出水准最高的职业剧团之一。它在莎剧演出的历史及权威性，也是举世公认的。RSC驻守于埃文河畔的斯特拉徳福德镇，为观众享受与莎翁和现场舞台的终身情谊而倾全团之力创作戏剧作品。知识点2莎士比亚的文本研究在中国的发展通过演出，通过它的舞台呈现，你才能够真正接触到莎士比亚戏剧的魅力，当然文本研究也是我们不得不提的一个很重要的方面。其实现在莎士比亚的中文译本并不少，也都各有特色但是学界普遍比较认可的，比较重视的有三个全集：朱生豪先生译《莎士比亚全集》、上海译文出版社出版方平先生译诗体版《莎士比亚全集》、梁实秋先生译《莎士比亚全集》。在中国翻译莎士比亚的作品最具代表性的人物当属两人：一位是朱生豪先生，一位是梁实秋先生。朱生豪先生从1937年开始翻译莎士比亚作品，至1944年先后译有喜剧、悲剧、杂剧等31种，可惜他英年早逝，有六个历史剧和全部诗歌没有来得及翻译。梁实秋先生1930年开始着手翻译莎士比亚的戏剧，从1936年商务印书馆首次出版他译的莎士比亚戏剧8种，至1967年最终完成《莎士比亚全集》的翻译并出版，共历时37年。梁实秋是中国独自一人翻译《莎士比亚全集》的第一人。知识点3莎士比亚剧本的舞台呈现莎翁的这些伟大作品，导演和演员又是如何通过舞台呈现出来的呢？将莎士比亚剧本搬上舞台进行呈现是一个挑战，舞台呈现莎士比亚剧本并不是一件非常容易的事情，对二度创作的主创者来说是非常具有挑战性的一个工作，其根本原因在于二度创作者对莎士比亚剧作内涵的不同解读。不同的解读代表着不同的创作者对莎士比亚作品的丰富内涵在理解上的不同和艺术表现手法上的不同，最后这都与莎士比亚剧本在舞台上如何呈现有关联。荣广润教授强调，“其实没有统一的莎士比亚戏剧演绎方法”。二度创作者们不断思考如何用最接近观众和最适应时代的方式体现莎士比亚剧作精神，这也是莎士比亚舞台剧版本众多的一大因素。莎士比亚剧本在当代还有一些被解构或重构。特别值得一提的是英国当代著名剧作家汤姆·斯托帕德（Tom Stoppard）。他根据莎翁经典《哈姆雷特》创作了一部荒诞剧《罗森格兰兹与吉尔登斯吞死了》，从《哈姆雷特》原剧中罗森格兰兹和吉尔登斯吞这两个几乎毫无存在感的小角色的角度，对原作进行了新的解构。该剧本荣获1968年托尼奖最佳戏剧奖。知识点4莎士比亚戏剧在中国的出现与改变中国演出莎士比亚最早出现在中国教会学校。以前圣约翰大学就是教会办的大学。我们也有很多教会的中学，教会的学生用英语演《威尼斯商人》可能是中国最早记载用原文演莎士比亚。20世纪初期，莎士比亚戏剧开始出现在中国舞台上。到了上个世纪80年代，我国戏剧界对莎剧进行了更为积极、大胆的探索改编，使莎剧不仅与我国的地方戏剧完美融合，还加进了一些现代元素，引起了广大中国观众的关注和喜爱。那么当中国戏曲遇上西方的莎士比亚我们又是如何演绎的呢？第一种方式，是把合适的莎士比亚剧本改造成中国故事。比如京剧版的《王子复仇记》、昆曲版的《麦克白》，吸收了中国宫廷的表达方式来演莎士比亚，西方人看得很惊艳。第二种方式，则是通过莎士比亚戏剧题材来探索突破既成音乐风格的戏曲方面的创新空间。第三种方式，是在音乐曲调和舞台布景等方面运用杂糅的形式，想方设法体现莎士比亚的原著精神，与此同时助益中国戏曲的发展。中国戏曲来演莎士比亚剧本其实有很多探索。荣广润教授指出中西文化的碰撞不是一蹴而就的，需要一个相互研究、相互影响、相互磨合的过程，这种艺术探索需要很长时间。荣广润教授最后强调，莎士比亚戏剧所体现出的人类对友谊、爱情、幸福的共同追求，人类克服天性、张扬人性应有的光辉，从而避免人性的悲剧这一主题是永恒的，属于全世界，也属于整个时代。这就是莎翁逝世四百多年后，我们还在谈论、研究、演绎、赞扬莎士比亚作品的原因。嘉宾介绍荣广润上海戏剧学院教授，博士生导师1996年-2006年任上海戏剧学院院长1988年-1996年任上海戏剧学院副院长曾任中国戏剧家协会理事，上海戏剧家协会副主席；中国话剧研究会副会长，中国莎士比亚学会副会长；教育部高等艺术教育指导委员会副主任。1968年毕业于上海戏剧学院戏剧文学系。1984-1985年于英国伯明翰大学莎士比亚学院与戏剧艺术系进修。1994-1995年于纽约作西方音乐剧与中国地方戏曲比较研究。主要著作：《当代戏剧论稿》《地球村中的戏剧互动—中西戏剧影响比较研究》剧作：音乐剧《犹太人在上海》任《中国大百科全书》第二版戏剧卷主编，《世界文学金库》戏剧卷主编，《世界当代戏剧名著》主编。数篇论文在加拿大，德国，日本等学术刊物发表；曾受邀在美国，新加坡，英国等大学与学术机构讲课。

Sam Wanamaker was an American actor and director, and the visionary behind Shakespeare’s Globe. He founded the Globe project in 1970, and worked tirelessly for decades against setbacks, funding struggles and court cases to build the Globe theatre we sit in today.     In the run up to the centenary of Sam’s birth, we chat to our Director of Education Patrick Spottiswoode – who has been part of the Globe team since 1984 – about Sam’s remarkable story. 

The Hay Festival began in 1988 with 250 people in a field in mid Wales. Thirty years later, the crowd has swelled to more than quarter of a million - 265,000 people are expected to turn up this year over ten days - and it's still in a field in mid-Wales. But the Hay Festival has also grown into an international brand, with spin-offs across the world in Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Segovia. The Festival founder, Peter Florence, has been running it all that time; he started it with his parents - his father was a theatre manager for Sam Wanamaker. Legend has it - and Peter confirms this - that it was partly funded by winnings from a poker game. In Private Passions, he looks back over the lessons of the last thirty years, and reveals how he has grappled with censorship when staging festivals in Hungary and Mexico. Peter Florence's music list reflects a passion for Bach and Mahler, and for the oud player Anouar Brahem. He chooses Handel's Sarabande, made famous by the film Barry Lyndon, and Sarah Vaughan singing "The Man I Love", which he describes as the sexiest song in the world. Produced by Elizabeth Burke A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3.

Story: Ostberlin 1978. Helmut Thiele und Sigrid Radke wollen dem Staat der Arbeiter und Bauern den Rücken kehren. Helmut hat zwei Söhne auf der anderen Seite der Mauer; Sigrid ist mit Hans Schuster liiert, einem Westberliner, dem sein Job freien Zugang zum Osten gestattet. Hans ist es denn auch, der die Flucht organisiert. Er beschafft Pässe für die Erwachsenen und Sigrids Tochter Marina, wird aber im polnischen Gdansk, wo die Übergabe stattfinden sollte, verhaftet. Die Zurückgebliebenen besteigen ein polnisches Flugzeug, und Helmut trifft eine dramatische Entscheidung: Er zwingt die Maschine zur Landung in Berlin-Tempelhof, wo die Flüchtlinge von der amerikanischen Besatzungsbehörde in Empfang genommen werden. Die menschliche Komponente der Entführung interessiert die US-Administration weniger als die Frage nach der Luftsicherheit. Der Fall soll vor einem Besatzungsgericht verhandelt werden, und wegen der Brisanz der Angelegenheit wird eigens ein Richter aus den USA geholt - der 42-jährige Herbert J. Stern, dessen jüdische Familie dem Holocaust zum Opfer gefallen ist. Stern hat klare politische Direktiven, ist aber entschlossen, sich an die Verfassung zu halten. Während seine Frau Marsha aus ihrer Abneigung gegen die Deutschen keinen Hehl macht, beginnt Stern, sich in die Motive der Angeklagten einzufühlen. Der erste Teil des Prozesses läuft günstig für die Flüchtlinge: Der brillante Verteidiger Bernard Hellring erreicht einen Freispruch für Sigrid. Aber dann steht Helmuts komplizierterer Fall zur Verhandlung an. Sein Schicksal hängt von der Aussage eines jungen Mannes ab, der an Bord der entführten Maschine war und die Gelegenheit ergriffen hat, sich mit seiner Familie in den Westen abzusetzen.

It is 15 years since a replica of Shakespeare's Globe theatre was first opened in London. Built on the banks of the Thames it stands almost exactly where the original 17th Century building had been. It came into being because of the passion of an American actor, Sam Wanamaker. Photo: The Globe Theatre. BBC

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur is at the Globe Theatre in London - a magical recreation of the theatre where William Shakespeare honed his theatrical genius in the late sixteenth century. Over the next six weeks every one of Shakespeare's 37 plays is going to be performed, in 37 different languages by theatre companies from all over the world. He speaks to actor Zoë Wanamaker, honorary president of the Globe which was built thanks to the tireless efforts of her father, the American actor and director, Sam Wanamaker, about Shakespeare, the stage and her family's artistic obsession.
