With contributions from RACHEL ATKINS, DAVID HOLT, CHRIS PAVLO and DAVID SARGENT. Especial thanks to NAXOS for its generous licensing of the CRUSH COLLISION MARCH by SCOTT JOPLIN. A WORD FROM STEPHEN In January of this year, I had a stroke and spent time at Northampton General Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham. While in hospital, I experienced first-hand the hard work and pressure facing NHS workers. When I was back home, a writer friend of mine came to visit me. He suggested I write an account of my time in hospital. This could have a therapeutic effect, he told me, and it has. I also wanted to give something back to our amazing NHS, all those people who come from every part of the globe, who work hard and care for us, when we can't care for ourselves. I have therefore recorded as honestly as I can the journey of a stroke victim, some of my meetings with staff and patients along the way, and the humour and humanity I found on the hospital wards. If you have enjoyed this podcast and would like to show your appreciation of the NHS, please visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/atthefirststroke, where I am raising money for NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER, and give whatever you feel you can afford.

In this episode, we talk with Stephen Hamnett about Planning Singapore: The Experimental City(Routledge, 2019), a book he edited with Belinda Yuen. Two hundred years ago, Sir Stamford Raffles established the modern settlement of Singapore with the intent of seeing it become ‘a great commercial emporium and fulcrum'. But by the time independence was achieved in 1965, the city faced daunting problems of housing shortage, slums and high unemployment. Since then, Singapore has become one of the richest countries on earth, providing, in Sir Peter Hall's words, ‘perhaps the most extraordinary case of economic development in the history of the world'. The story of Singapore's remarkable achievements in the first half century after its independence is now widely known. Stephen Hamnett is Emeritus Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at the University of South Australia and a Commissioner of the Environment, Resources and Development Court of South Australia.

In this second bonus episode, we pay a brief tribute to Sir Peter Hall, the great English director who died in September 2017.

Dale and Alexandra Franzen are amazing mother-daughter RenWomen who both appeared in our book, RenWomen.  Dale started her career as a classically trained soprano in both musical theater, operetta, and opera working with icons like Placido Domingo, Frederica Von Stade, and Sir Peter Hall to name a few.  After twenty years, Dale's career took a surprising and wonderful turn as she was asked to create a performing arts center in Santa Monica, California. Dale raised over $123-million dollars to build and run The Broad Stage and served as its Founding Director for 17 years and Founding Artistic Director for 7 seasons.  After stepping down, Dale embarked on another new path and is now developing and producing a new musical called Hadestown, which, in its off-Broadway run was praised by reviewers as "luminous and spellbinding."   She is also a public speaking lecturer and strategic mentor to non-profits and artists. Alexandra has a thriving online business in which she expresses her many skills as entrepreneur, writer, and all over inspirer. She also holds classes and writing/yoga retreats, and is a nonfiction and fiction book author, as well as a multiply published article writer for magazines such as Forbes, Time, Newsweek and the Huffington Post.  Her book, You're Going to Survive, is full of inspiring  stories from people such as authors, chefs, lawyers, website designers, Broadway performers, jazz musicians, business consultants, and more?each describing one of the worst moments in their entire career, and how they got through it. It is available on Amazon. Both Dale and Alexandra represent the RenWomen traits of risk taking, expansive growth, curiosity, creative problem solving, flexibility, and a trust in one's inner voice. 

Matthew Bannister on Sir Peter Hall, the director who founded the Royal Shakespeare Company, ran the National Theatre and created many acclaimed theatrical and operatic productions. Kate Millett, the radical feminist whose 1970 book Sexual Politics suggested that men's institutionalised power over women is a social construct, rather than innate or biological. Sir Edward Du Cann, the Tory MP and businessman who chaired the 1922 backbench committee, fell out with Edward Heath, and went bankrupt in the 1990s. J.P. Donleavy, the US-born Irish writer whose bawdy tale of Dublin Life - The Ginger Man - sold fifty million copies.

In honor of its 50th birthday, the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) brought together company founder Sir Peter Hall and current Artistic Director Michael Boyd in conversation at the Park Avenue Armory where the RSC is currently in residence.  Their talk was guided by company ensemble member (and RSC board member) Noma Dumezweni, but the two men needed little prompting to embark on a combination of reminiscence and philosophical discourse. They discussed the importance of ensemble acting; the role of the director; and — in the most memorable part of the evening — debated the merits of the thrust stage (Hall doubtful; Boyd ardent) by walking about the RSC’s reconstructed theatre and demonstrating how speech sounds from different parts of the house. The evening finished with the presentation of a birthday cake to Hall and Boyd, who issued an impromptu invitation to the audience to join them onstage, and then dispensed slices of cake to all the takers—probably the easiest job he’s had in months. Bon mots: Peter Hall on Shakespeare: "Shakespeare is one of the great, great con artists. He says, 'This is true, but on the other hand, this might be also true, and so might that.  Why don’t you just go home and talk it over with your wife?' That’s the Shakespearean creative act." Michael Boyd on Americans and Shakespeare: "One of the ways Americans have taken hold of Shakespeare…is as family drama — is looking at Tennessee Williams or Arthur Miller, and through that prism coming to Shakespeare." Peter Hall on "the theater:" "The important thing about 'the theater' is that a group of people who are alive and who know each other meet together in a space and try to actually catch the tail of this person, who’s written something, which is the record of his dreams."

Speaking to long time theater critic Peter Filichia, one is reminded of listening to an old-time sportwriter talk about baseball. The Broadway he describes is full of colorful personalities, anecdotes, dates, numbers, and trivia. His spirit is enthusiastic and infectious: he’s turned his love of Broadway into a career. It’s a wonderful counterpoint to the all-too-typical theater discussions about what’s broken in the non-profit system or funding models. His book, Broadway Musicals: The Biggest Hit and the Biggest Flop of the Season 1959-2009 (Applause, 2010), is more than just fun (though it is that!). The writing is clear and generous, and the stories occasionally revelatory. (Did you know that Edward Albee wrote a failed draft of the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” musical? Did you know that Sir Peter Hall once suggested that the best way to get the effect of zero gravity was . . . trampolines?) What strikes me most, though, is how Filichia’s own personal experience feeds his work. Theater is an art that requires attendance. Unlike reading a book or renting a movie, there really are only a certain number of people that actually saw the original production of “Pippin” or “On the Town.” Either you were there or you weren’t.

Sir Peter Hall was appointed Director of the National Theatre in 1973. Before that, he ran the Royal Shakespeare Company and he was responsible for setting up their London base at the Aldwych. In spite of this heavy administrative responsibility, he has always found time to produce many plays and operas, including this year's Ring Cycle at Bayreuth. In conversation with Roy Plomley, he talks about his amazingly active life and chooses the eight records he would take to the mythical island.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: The Man That Got Away by Judy Garland Book: The New Grove Dictionary of Music & Musicians Luxury: Photograph of children
