Send us Fan MailWelcome to Hall of Imagination–and this is the first in a series of episodes about William Shakespeare. And here we have a wax figure of the BARD himself. And personally, let me say as an actor that I am really excited about the prospect of learning more about what makes William Shakespeare so great!  Oh here you are!Mr. Shakespeare, I am really excited about this series of podcast episodes.Now we are not going to begin by interviewing Hamlet… or Juliet… or Lady Macbeth… or Romeo…No. Today, I'm starting with… a town.A town with muddy streets, and church bells, and gossip that travels faster than Wi-Fi ever dreamed of traveling.Because before Shakespeare becomes Shakespeare—the name you've heard a thousand times—he is a boy in Stratford-upon-Avon, absorbing the world like a sponge with ambitions.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Near the end of The Tempest, Prospero vows to retire from practicing the “rough magic” he has mastered, to break his magical staff and drown his spellbooks. After 14 seasons as Artistic Director of Canada's Stratford Festival, Antoni Cimolino has chosen to direct The Tempest as part of his final season before he, too, enters retirement. As possibly the final play Shakespeare wrote alone, The Tempest has often represented a goodbye, or at least a sea change. For Cimolino, who started his career in Stratford nearly 40 years ago, it's a big change indeed. The documentary This Above All, premiering later this month, follows his tenure leading North America's largest classical repertory company through a historic expansion, a pandemic, and dozens of powerful productions. In this episode, Cimolino discusses revisiting a play, the power of forgiveness, the show that sparked his love for theater, the surprising role toaster ovens played in his early career, and the “rough magic” that makes theater possible.

A brand new stage play based on the "A Song of Ice and Fire" stories by George RR Martin has opened at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon.The hotly anticipated play, titled Game of Thrones: The Mad King, is adapted by Duncan Macmillan and directed by Dominic Cooke, and is an immediate prequel to "A Game of Thrones".Find out what Mickey-Jo thought of the story, the performances of this company, and the creative choices with which this has been brought to the stage.sign up to Mickey-Jo's weekly substack newsletter:www.mickeyjotheatre.substack.com•00:00 | introduction02:38 | synopsis / writing11:14 | staging / design 21:26 | performances 31:33 | conclusion About Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

There will be a ceremony in Stratford to celebrate a major milestone in the cleanup of a former U.S. Army engine plant. It is one of the largest waterfront brownfield revitalization efforts currently underway in Connecticut. Connecticut-based Point Stratford Renewal Team, which owns the property, says today's event marks the completion of the $74 million remediation of the tidal flats along the Housatonic River.

RNZ Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin was at the Stratford meeting.

Welcome to this bonus episode of the WhatsOnStage Podcast!

Joining the podcast are Tanisha Spring (who appears as Ashara Dayne), Elizabeth Ayodele (as Princess Elia Martell), Mariah Gayle (as Queen Rhaella Targaryen), Callum Woodhouse (as Lord Robert Baratheon), Michael Shaeffer (as King Aerys II Targaryen), Harmony Rose-Bremner (as Lyanna Stark), Luke Brady (as Brandon Stark), Noah Ritter (as Prince Rhaegar Targaryen) and Michael Abubakar (as Eddard Stark).

A major rail upgrade is now underway on Connecticut's busy New Haven Line. Governor Ned Lamont announced construction has begun on the $1.6 billion TIME-1 project, which will modernize tracks, signals, and overhead wires between Stratford and Bridgeport. State officials say the improvements will eventually deliver faster, more frequent, and more reliable train service. But is the hype all it's cracked up to be? We asked Jim Cameron of Talking Transportation who was quite skeptical of the project calling it a “déjà vu promise.”To read Jim's article: https://ctmirror.org/2026/08/02/connecticuts-1-6-billion-train-promise/

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Gather round as the legendary Melrosing gives us all the gritty details from the first showing of ‘The Mad King' by the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. George R. R. Martin was involved, so there are canon ASoIaF arguments brewing. Just remember: not believing R+L=J is a dealbreaker, ladies. We talk through the new reveals about Lyanna Stark, Elia Martell, and Ashara Dayne to mixed reviews. Rhaegar Targaryen reviews go from bad to worse. Nedbert gets a moment. Dany reveals cause aftershocks. GRRM's obsession with prophecy is now everyone's problem. But, most importantly, Jaime Lannister is unquestionably portrayed as a hero. Kingslayer, affectionate. (Pay no attention to the cabbages.) A Song of Ice and Fire. The Mad King Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 646

Wisconsin's state FFA officer team is fresh off a leadership conference in Washington, D.C.. While learning the ropes to policy development was part of their goal, honing how to advocate for ag education and agriculture in general was also a major point. Cheryl Zimmerman, Executive Director of the Wisconsin FFA Association tells Pam Jahnke about the investment being made in these young leaders. No rain in sight. Not what a lot of Wisconsin farmers or gardeners want to hear. Stu Muck explains why we can't seem to wring a bit of moisture out of the atmosphere right now. Everybody likes to get a gift, and our Wisconsin agriculture teachers are no exception. Teri Barr explains how saying thank you to agriculture instructors and helping them start the new school year prepared, inspired a Pennsylvania company. Dairy Leaders of Tomorrow and the Dairy Excellence Foundation teamed up to offer anyone a chance to "gift" a box to an agriculture instructor anywhere. How much energy does the average 500 cow dairy operation use in a hot month like July? You might be surprised! Pam Jahnke talks with Matt Redetzke of No Joke Dairy in Stratford about that expense. It's just one motivating point that encouraged the hosts of this year's WI Farm Technology Days to partner with Focus on Energy. Kevin Weiler, one of four Focus on Energy advisors in the state says Marathon County has been taking advantage of the partnership!

The hosts for the 2026 Wisconsin Farm Technology Days, No Joke Dairy in Stratford, are examples of what a partnership with Focus on Energy can accomplish. Pam Jahnke visits with Matt Redetzke, one of the brothers farming, about their fifth-generation family farm in Marathon County. Through careful planning with Focus on Energy, the farm has achieved considerable savings on several projects around the farm. Focus on Energy Advisor, Kevin Weiler, explains the amount of energy saved - and the money that was kept in the farm families pocket! Energy Efficiency Upgrades with Focus on EnergyNo Joke Dairy has implemented a series of energy-saving improvements in partnership with Focuson Energy:• Livestock Waterers (Installed in 2022 and 2023)o Installed new waterers that use less electricity and keep water from freezing in winter.The cows always have clean water to drink, even during the colder months. Thesewaterers save money on energy bills and keep the animals comfortable. • LED Exterior Lighting (2023)o Replaced exterior lights with LED lights. LEDs make outdoor areas safer for everyoneand last longer, reducing the need to replace them as often.• Refrigeration Heat Recovery (RHR) System (2020)o Installed an RHR system that takes heat from the milk-cooling process and uses it towarm water for the farm. The farm needs less electricity or fuel to make hot waterfor cleaning. • Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Vacuum Pump (2019)o Upgraded to a vacuum pump with a VFD to allow the milking system to run at the powerneeded, instead of at full power all the time. This reduces electricity use and extendsequipment life. • High-Bay LED Fixtures (2019)o Improved lighting inside the barn with high-bay LED fixtures to create a brighter, saferworkspace while using less energy than traditional high-intensity lamps.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Beef Quality Assurance program has been around for a while, but it's always evolving. Jill Welke finds out from one of the best! Dr. Sandy Stuttgen, Associate Professor and Ag Educator with UW-Madison Extension in Taylor County leads coordination of the states program. She tells Welke that it's a serious responsibility, providing food for consumers. Through the BQA program, beef producers can perform at the level that consumers and processors expect. Milder weather today gives Wisconsinites a break. Stu Muck says what's missing is rain. Although there were storms that moved through the state, it brought with it very little rain. Muck says there's not much on the horizon either. Christmas in July may seem like excessive planning, but auction planning in July is not. Ashley Huhn with the Steffes Group joins Pam Jahnke to talk about it. He says July has routinely turned out to be their busiest booking month. Huhn says that kind of advance planning allows his team to work ahead on everything from pictures to descriptions. Paid for by Steffes Group. The Wisconsin State FFA Officer team just returned from Washington, D.C. and the annual Leadership Conference. Cheryl Zimmerman, state executive director of the WI FFA Association, says they had an accelerated course on advocacy before heading to "the hill" for conversations. It's all about weather and tariffs in the marketplace this morning. John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing out of West Bend says heat and dry are the buzz words. Crop quality ratings slipped a bit in some areas this week at a key time when some crops are at critical growth stages. At the same time, the government has announced a 25% increase in tariffs against Brazilian soybeans/oil. That's caused the market to surge higher on domestic supplies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week shows how important animal handling is. With the weather element included, paying attention to what an animal sees in its surrounding is critical. Bob Bosold talks with one of the industry leaders in that field. Dr. Temple Grandin. Grandin explains her focus when it comes to animal handling systems, and some of the simple things that can often be overlooked by farmers. Temperatures may be a few degrees cooler today, but you won't notice much of a change with the smoke. Stu Muck steers us through what the weekend has in store for with weather. Beginning on Tuesday, Wisconsin is implementing some new restrictions on animals coming into the state from areas affected by New World Screwworm. Teri Barr listens to what WI Ag Secretary, Randy Romanski, has to say about the plan. Dairy farmer Mitch Breunig is one of those that's been spending long hours trying to keep his cows comfortable. Breunig owns/operates Mystic Valley Dairy in Roxbury. He tells Pam Jahnke that every piece of technology from high capacity fans to sprinkler systems has been key. He even has deployed "fitbits" for cows to monitor their respiration and feed intake. As the 2026 WI Farm Technology Days show drew to a close in Stratford, questions were already popping up on where the show will be in 2027. Pam Jahnke talks with Janet Keller, show general manager, about that point and others. Keller says they've got plenty of farms interested in hosting future shows, and she says the restructure they implemented three years ago is helping.edSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winter wheat harvest has begun around Wisconsin and it looks like the crop's pretty good. That's the quick analysis from Anastasia Kurth, Regional Crops & Soils Educator at UW-Madison Extension. She says Wisconsin corn and soybeans are generally in good-to-excellent condition. Unlike last year, growing degree days are slightly ahead of schedule, allowing crops to benefit well from the current heat and humidity. Farmers have recently applied side-dress nitrogen for a mid-season crop boost. While southern rust has not been reported, growers are urged to scout for tar spot, which has already been confirmed in five neighboring states to the south and west. Soybeans are hitting their five-year average for blooming. Farmers are reminded to closely check herbicide labels, as the flowering (R1) stage dictates whether certain post-emergence herbicides can still be legally applied. This hot weather may not be ideal for people, pets or livestock but it has suppressed the risk of white mold in soybeans (which prefers cool, wet conditions), but farmers should watch for emerging Japanese beetles and monitor Western bean cutworm trap data. Smoke is back in the forecast for all of Wisconsin to varying degrees. Stu Muck explains the drift today. He also sees rain developing as soon as tonight. Wisconsin Farm Technology Days concludes today in Stratford. The show simply could not happen without volunteers. Kiley Allan visits with one of them. Maria Meyer is a volunteer along with her son. It's a tradition that started the last time the show was in the area and her uncle asked her to help. She explains that the volunteers receive compensation that goes directly to their charitable organization. In Maria's case it's the Loyal EMS Dept. Her son is volunteering to benefit his football team. It's not just Wisconsin or the U.S. that's experiencing this heat. Europe is as well. Mike North, principal with EverAg out of Platteville, explains the milk loss we've already seen and how it's impacting the cheese market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Multiple generations are getting ready to welcome visitors for the 2026 WI Farm Technology Days event. Redetzke's No Joke Dairy outside of Stratford has a story to share about family working together and making a farm work. Bob Bosold visits with family members Sam Redetzke and brother Matt on how they juggle schedules with off farm duties to keep the wheels rolling. The state's largest outdoor agriculture event is coming up July 14-16. Heat returns to Wisconsin. Stu Muck says we won't likely reach the 90's but it will be warmer. Things should stay dry until at least Thursday according to the forecast. Today's investment in agriculture aren't just about technology and engineering. Farms and farmers depend on people for good advice and service on the technology that they're investing in. Our example today is Lake Effect Farm in the Plymouth area. Brad Laack, the owner/operator of the farm, has placed a lot of trust in Tim Schultz, owner and operator of Schultz's Interstate Ag in Monroe. Schultz's provides state-of-the-art grain handling technology across the Midwest, including Lake Effect Farm. Schultz visits with Pam Jahnke about the clear communication that's necessary on projects like this to make sure that a farmers dreamed are realized and maintained. Paid for by Schultz's Interstate Ag. Soybeans are rallying on a Monday morning! An unconfirmed sale of over 500,000 metric ton of soybeans going to an undisclosed destination is inspiring traders. Pam Jahnke also updates the conversations between the U.S. and Canada on renewing USMCA. Agriculture technology isn't just limited to agriculture. Kiley Allan finds out about the multi-use options for drones. Davis Napier, Owner and Operator at Seek, says he uses drones equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras and spotlights to locate downed deer for hunters who have lost the trail, want to avoid trespassing on neighboring land, or wish to minimize property disturbance. To stay within Wisconsin DNR regulations and avoid hunting with a drone, he requires clients to sign waivers and will only disclose a deer's location if the thermal imaging confirms the animal has already expired. Beyond recovery, the drone captures and stitches together thousands of images to create property maps that are significantly more detailed than satellite imagery, allowing landowners to see specific deer trails and terrain features. During the off-season, the technology is used for herd analysis to help landowners understand deer bedding patterns and population health (buck-to-doe ratios) without disrupting the animals during hunting season. Napier founded his business, Seeker, based on his lifelong passion for hunting and his childhood experience of the heartbreak associated with failing to recover a deer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bertolt Brecht's 'gangster spectacle', The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui is both an exuberant and funny piece of theatre, and a chillingly topical political satire. Set in the 1930s Chicago of Al Capone, Brecht presents a parody of the rise of Hitler through the character of the gangster Arturo Ui. The play is a universal cry for vigilance against the rise of unscrupulous, populist leaders who threaten democratic societies and global peace. As we recorded this episode a new production of the play by the Royal Shakespeare Company was playing in Stratford-upon-Avon, starring Mark Gatiss as the title character. I am delighted to be joined by both the show's translator, playwright Stephen Sharkey, and by Brecht scholar, Professor Tom Kuhn, to guide us through Brecht's political parody.

Back for more Shakespeare! This week it's Henry IV Part 2 (following up last month's Part 1)--but with the addition of the book Year of the Fat Knight by Shakespearean actor Antony Sher.Part One's pairings of characters give way to one central relationship in Part 2: fathers and sons. It's much more serious as Prince Hal moves closer to assuming the throne: how much will he follow his father's wishes for him? How can he create his kingly presence with Falstaff acting as his best friend and surrogate father? And who, if anyone, might fill that advisor/father role when Hal loses his own?On top of this play, I read the wonderful Year of the Fat Knight. Sher was Falstaff in the productions of Henry IV from Royal Shakespeare Company, the ones I watched, and he was marvelous. I spotted this book when we were in Stratford last summer and decided that this was the perfect month to read it.Sher's memoir is amazing, full of all kinds of anecdotes about not only this play but being a Shakespearean actor in general. I strongly feel that you can't experience a Shakespeare play without seeing it in some form, and Sher's memoir made me see why. It's a true vocation to act in a play like this--embodying the complicated language so that it seems natural, filling in the blanks of a personality that Shakespeare leaves, deciding exactly how to appear in front of an audience. I'm really happy I read this one.Next week--Happy Birthday, America!BOOKS IN THIS EPISODEThe complete list of Crack the Book Episodes (Amazon affiliate links): https://cheryldrury.substack.com/p/crack-the-book-start-here?r=u3t2rHenry IV Part 2 (RSC Production)Year of the Fat Knight (Antony Sher)CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/Like what you heard?

Mark Edge catches up with Dennis Pratt, co-owner of the Independence Inn in Stratford, New Hampshire, to make the case for why libertarians should stop talking and start moving. Dennis breaks down what the Free State Project has built in New Hampshire — 300 liberty groups, eight Liberty Clubhouses, and a thriving community of porcupines — and how the Independence Inn serves as a way station for visitors and new movers alike, with discounted stays to help people explore the libertarian homeland before committing to a move. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be surrounded by people who share your values, this one's for you. Contact Dennis at @DennisPrattFree on X or join the Libertarian Homeland group on X.
