King Duncan did indeed get killed, in 1040, and Macbeth was around, and maybe even was near him at the time, but Duncan wasn't old, he wasn't asleep in bed, and there was no crime, because Macbeth's forces slaughtered Duncan's forces in battle, and Duncan was one of the slaughtered. In this episode, Anne explains all of the history that can be explained -- it's a slippery bunch of facts, but there was a King Duncan, he did die, and Macbeth was king after him. Michelle explains the historical sources, and mentions the novels, but really what she wanted to know was where the hell that theatre superstition about not ever saying the title of the Scottish Play in the theater, at pain of being made to do whatever silly things are in fashion at the time -- well, where the hell that came from. And we want to know, too.

So, grab a cuppa, cuddle up with your cat (or dog—we're not picky), and join us as we break down this iconic play. It's a breakdown of Shakespeare like you've never heard it before—fun, relatable, and maybe even a little spooky.Content WarningsMurder, child deathSupport the showRecommend us a Book!If there's a book you want to recommend to us to read, just send us a message/email and we'll pop it on our long list (but please read our review policy on our website first for the books we accept).Social MediaWebsite: https://teachingmycattoread.wordpress.com/Email: teachingmycattoread@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachmycat2read/Tumblr: https://teachingmycattoread.tumblr.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFXi9LNQv8SBQt8ilgTZXtQListener Surveyhttps://forms.gle/TBZUBH4SK8dez8RP9
Richard and Greg review three Shakespearean films made either side of the year 2000. Shakespeare is known for raising the Big Questions – and this episode is no exception. Which of our podcasters is the worse at trying to sound Shakespearean? Are they better or worse than American actors at this? Are podcasts like the theatre, where the Scottish Play must not be mentioned by name? And (most importantly of all) what DID Shakespeare have against Norway?

In Shakespeare's ‘As You Like It', the seven ages of man are described by "melancholy Jacques" the professional misery-guts killing the mood in the Forest of Arden. To celebrate the Bard's birthday, your friendly neighbourhood economists have produced a Shakespearian special that focuses on some economics associated with each of these seven ages. Pete and Gav will be your guides through each stage of life from "mewling and puking" through to "mere oblivion", to see what Economics can teach us. Along the way you will learn about the economy of Shakespeare's England, how Pete was an imperious King Malcolm in "the Scottish Play" and how teenagers undermine conventional economics. As always there is a challenging quiz and a stirring modern makeover of the seven ages verses in one of Gav's unforgettable poems. Technical support comes from ‘All the world's a stage' Nic.

Today, Chelsey and Sara discuss Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Macbeth. It's been awhile since we discussed a Shakespeare play and we're thrilled to be back with the Bard for spooky season to chat about witches, ghosts, murder, and betrayal. Take a listen to hear us discuss why Macbeth feels different from other tragedies, the way staging decisions can impact the meaning of this play, and how much of this story is inspired by the real King James I's fears and paranoias. We also touch on what we actually admire about the Macbeths' marriage and just how much Game of Thrones owes to the Scottish Play. For today's pairings we have a Macbeth retelling set in Appalachia, two tales of things gone wrong in the theater, plus a modern classic, an epic fantasy novel, and a quiet meditation on the power of prophecy. This episode is great for Shakespeare lovers as well as readers less familiar with his works. Listen to Our Pairings: [51:35] Chelsey: All's Well by Mona Awad If We Were Villains by M.L.

He also wrote the book Save the Cat: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need in which he coined the phrase that describes the decisive moment the protagonist demonstrates that they are worth rooting for, the moment in which they save the proverbial cat. It's a controversial concept that has grown in popularity to the point that the Save the Cat 15 beat structure has shaped many Hollywood blockbusters of an age. And, since we have a perfect Save the Cat moment in Ana Lily Amirpour's 2014 film, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, members voted that we talk all about the same moments in other films.

Hello my friends! How are you all doing? Wow I'm hyped up on a tremendous amount of caffeine, so thats a good thing. Also, the truth is that these last few months, since January have been hard for me when it comes to my health and taking care of myself. I haven't been going to yoga regularly - and in the last 7 years, hot yoga has been the way I stay strong and sane. And I simply got out of the habit. I also have been eating my feelings, especially at night, how many of you can relate to that? Numbing myself with Netflix, wine and chips. ANd there's nothing wrong with doing that. It's simply that it's making me unhealthy, and it wasn't making me feel very good. Isn;t that funny. Even when we know something isn't good for us, if we're used to it, even if it feels bad, it kinda feels good or safe at the same time? It's like our bodies are used to doing this thing and so they want us to keep doing it. It feels normal and safe in so many ways. I had some realizations over the last week, some really great things that have happened. I started going back to hot yoga and I'm feeling feisty! In the best way possible! so I'm calling this Spring my focus on my renewal. Alright! Today my friends we are talking about WITCHES... Double, double Toil and trouble Fire burn and Cauldron bubble Today we are going to start our conversation around WITCHES, and I say START because this is a really vast topic and we will talk about this from lots of different perspectives over the course of the show. We'll delve into WHY the 3 witches were so important in the Scottish Play, even though they only appeared 2 times And we'll START to look at the comparison and contrast between Lady Macbeth and the 3 witches and LAdy Ms transformation inside her story arc It's important to set the stage with some backstory on the time period we're talking about- the very early 1600s. King James 1 of England is also King James the 4th of Scotland. Same person. He rules as King of Scotland from 1567 to 1625 and picked up the role of King of England in addition to Scotland when Queen Elizabeth, his distant cousin died, and was chosen as her successor. And my promise to you in that we are going to go deep into Queen Elizabeth 1 as a powerful fierce ruler and leader, why she never married, and how she was able to rule in such a patriarchal structure . Witchcraft, and women (and men) being accused of being witches was not a new thing in Jacobean England but it wasn't made a capital offense in Britain until 1563, although it was deemed heresy and was denounced as such by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484. From 1484 until around 1750 some 200,000 witches were tortured, burnt or hanged in Western Europe. Most of them women. What we need to understand is that during the reign of King James 1 people of all social status and intellect levels believed in the reality of witchcraft or enchantment. This was part of their everyday lives - just like we know for a fact that the planets rotate around the sun, the people back then “knew” this as if it were absolutely truth. In fact before he assumed the role of King of England King James actually wrote a dissertation titled Daemonologie that was first sold in 1597, and this book was heavily influenced by the North Berwick Witch trials of 1590. And this all gets very interesting on several fronts, when King James is betrothed to Princess Anne of Denmark. She's only 14 years old at the time and in 1589 they're married in Denmark by proxy, and an earl marchial stands in for King James. Then Anne sets sail from Denmark to Scotland along with a fleet of 14 ships. Now, the weather and storms that fall caused some pretty harsh sailing conditions and set light to a vigorous renewal in the fear of witches. According to Phillipa Gregory, author and historian, “ Anne's journey was a disaster – the fierce storms damaged her ship and she was forced to anchor in Norway for repairs. A second attempt to set...
