In October 2023 the story of the discovery of a stage floor that dated from before the Elizabethan period in St George's Guildhall in Kings Lynn hit the news. The attrition to the headline writers was the fact that that very stage had probably supported Shakespeare as he acted as part of a playing troupe on stage. Of course, that is a great hook for the story as the interest in Shakespeare goes well beyond those of us immersed in the history of theatre and the idea that we can still share a space like that across four hundred years is a beguiling one. I remember standing on the original floor of Anne Hathaway's cottage in Stratford Upon Avon and feeling a very similar thrill, but there is much more to the story of St George's Guild Hall at King's Lynn, a venue for theatre for not just four hundred years, but at least six hundred, making it the UK's oldest working theatre. So, I was very pleased when Tim Fitzhigham, Creative Director of the Guildhall Theatre agreed to come onto the podcast and talk about St George's Guildhall and that stage.Tim Fitzhigham is the Borough Council of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Creative Director appointed to oversee the revival of St George's Guildhall. As well as leading this extensive project he is currently completing his PhD on Robert Armin, an actor in The King's Men who originated many of the clown and fool roles in all but the earliest Shakespeare plays and was a well-known playwright and author in his own right.Links to the St George's Guildhall Websitehttps://stgeorgesguildhall.comand Instagram Accounthttps://www.instagram.com/stg.guildhall/ Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

Geoff Thompson is an BAFTA award-winning writer, screenwriter, and martial artist, who has authored more than forty books. Once a bouncer in Coventry, Geoff turned his life around by making a hierarchy of ”fears“ and directly confronting them, one by one. In this conversation, we explore: — Geoff's life-changing encounter with his former abuser in a Coventry Cafe — Geoff's thoughts on finding your true self and becoming unified as a person. — How limiting beliefs shape our lives and what it takes to overcome them. — The role of truth in Geoff's journey and how it informs his writing.

That wasn't a question for Madeleine in Stratford-Upon-Avon or Rebecca on the Isle Of Man

Even William Shakespeare had to take out the garbage. In his hometown of Stratford Upon Avon, public waste was managed through a system of piles known as muck hills. In 1552, William Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, was charged a fine for one of these muck hills that was kept across the street from his home on Henley Street. For a long time, scholars have thought this fine meant that John Shakespeare was keeping the dung heap illegally, or perhaps using it inappropriately, but recent research into how muck hills operate and the history of public sanitation in Stratford Upon Avon have caused us to see this record of John Shakespeare in a new light. Here today to share with us how taking out the garbage worked for Shakespeare's lifetime is our guest, Elizabethan Tavares.   Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

As a new play depicts the landmark global climate change agreement, the Kyoto protocol, Jordan Dunbar has a front row seat. He heads to the historic English town of Stratford-Upon-Avon to watch the opening night of the play, Kyoto, at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. He hears why the writers, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson decided to dramatize the seemingly slow and tedious action of a global climate change conference. And the duo explain their goal to highlight Kyoto as a ‘parable of agreement' in a world full of disagreement.The programme also hears from two veterans of many real world climate change negotiations, including the Kyoto Protocol, the first global agreement to set legally binding targets. Christiana Figueres was responsible for leading climate negotiations as the Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Farhana Yamin provided legal and strategy advice to the leaders of AOSIS, the Alliance of Small Island States at Kyoto and nearly every UN climate summit since.Got a question, comment or experience you'd like to share?
