The Ghost of High Heart is a pale woman no more than 3 feet tall with red eyes and white hair so long it almost touches the ground. She lives in a grove of dead weirwoods, and her prophecies always come true. We delve into her identity, why she can see the future, and her connections to Jenny of Oldstones, Prince Rhaegar, the tragedy of Summerhall and the Brotherhood without Banners.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
Episode 443 / ANDREW SIM (b. 1987, Glasgow) lives and works in New York. They work across drawing and painting, often utilising their favoured medium of pastel in large-scale figurative pieces. Sim's practice borrows from their everyday experience to inflect various motifs – werewolves, sunflowers, horses, and trees, amongst other items – with elements of autobiography, anthropomorphizing natural subjects and creating new characters to convey their relationship to Queerness, culture and identity. Andrew has shown at The Modern Institute, Karma, NY, Margot Samel, Summerhall in Edinburgh, Anton Kern and other venues. Andrew's work has been covered in The Scotsman, The New York Times, Art Observed and more.
Today Elaine chats to young Edinburgh writer and performer Olivia McGeachy about her show What The Fuck Happened to Love and Hope. We talk about finding your way in the industry, the development of the show and the premise of the show (trigger Warning as this play is about the culture of spiking and assault). We also chat about being young and a producer on your first fringe show. WTF Happened to Love and Hope - theSpace on the Mile Dates: 20th-24th August (special venue showing on the 19th) @ 10am Tickets available here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/what-the-f-ck-happened-to-love-and-hope WTF Happened to Love and Hope Teenager Nina and best friend Faye are tangled in the terrifying culture of spiking and assault in this powerful new work written by an 18-year-old. Nina is cheeky and bubbly, until a night out takes a horrific turn, leaving her to navigate the devastating aftermath. Confident, outspoken, Faye's okay. Definitely. When Harry from school removes the condom midway through sex without her consent, she struggles for the first time to pretend she's fine. Playing Nina is Olivia McGeachy (also writer) and playing Faye is Heidi Steel (star of Summerhall's The Fish Bowl). Olivia McGeachy Olivia McGeachy is an 18-year-old mixed heritage Indian/Scottish actor and creative from Edinburgh. After building experience as an actor, including joining the National Youth Theatre, she's delighted to be at the fringe this year as writer/lead producer/actor (Nina) for ‘What The F*ck Happened To Love And Hope?' with an excellent and properly lovely team!

On this week's podcast, the gang review two great new films with very different perspectives on the trans experience – Levan Akin's Crossing, and Jane Schonebrun's I Saw The TV Glow. Jamie gives his first thoughts on the EIFF programme, we all pitch in on The Bear season three (crossfade one more time, I dare you, I double dare you mother-), plus a few more bits and bobs. Massive shout-out to EHFM, on our final visit to their venerable Summerhall studio.

On this week's show, we've been watching films centred on gender-non-conforming characters. We're looking at Orlando, My Political Biography, which is a playful essay film about trans identity from Spanish philosopher Paul B. Preciado, and Unicorn, a British drama about the relationship that forms between a straight mechanic from Essex and a drag performer from a conservative Indian family in Manchester. And off the back of these two films, we're gonna end the show considering some interesting trans and gender-fluid films from film history.

We're back to a full complement this week for a B-movie bonanza. Russell Crowe is back on his anti-demon beat in The Exorcism (bad), Dale Dickey is out for revenge in The G (better), and we all chat about some of our favourite genre movies. Anahit fills us in on Lina Soualem and Hiam Abbas' new documentary Bye Bye Tiberias so we can keep our arthouse credentials, then we fling it all away talking about the Minions and whether or not it's good to eat mud.

We're going to be talking about a really big expensive movie and a tiny indie film on this week's show, but coincidentally they are both about marauding gangs of road warriors fighting over natural resources, so there's definitely a bit in common there. That big film is George Miller's bombastic revenge saga Furiosa, and the smaller film is Weston Razooli's nostalgic kids' adventure fantasy Riddle of Fire. And as it's Pride month, we pick out some of the best LGBTQ+ films playing at Glasgow Film Theatre and Edinburgh's Cameo throughout June, as well as suggesting some lesser-spotted queer films you should watch at home this month.

This time on The Cineskinny, we go running in the fields of streaming cinema. Anahit reviews Hit Man (good!), Jamie joins her for The Idea of You (bad! and weird!), then the whole gang discusses the good, bad and ugly of the streaming revolution. How many of Netflix's top ten films are actually elaborate pranks on this podcast? More than you'd think! We also discuss the inventive, intriguing and v freaky British debut Hoard ahead of its release in cinemas. It's a fun one this week – come for the serious film chat, stay for Jamie's list of 'older women he likes'.

On the latest episode of The CineSkinny we go raking around in Etruscan tombs with a very sexy Josh O'Connor and his band of rapscallion grave robbers in La Chimera. We then head to 90s Edinburgh to revisit Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave. Does it still feel fresh 30 years later? Was renting in Edinburgh a nightmare back in 1994 too? Can Ewan McGregor actually act? Tune in to find out. We end the show by celebrating Film Twitter man of the moment Josh O'Connor. Not only is he brilliant as a melancholy Indiana Jones in La Chimera, he's also riding high at the box office playing a cocky tennis pro in Challengers. We look back at his short but impressive career, from God's Own Country to The Crown.

It's been sunny in Edinburgh for the first time in weeks. We recorded two hours later than usual. Challengers is a very hot film. One or more of these may explain the slightly feral nature of this week's podcast, in which we review freewheeling US 'satire' The Sweet East and Luca Guadagnino's latest, as well as playing the film nerd equivalent of Fantasy Football in honour of the Glasgow Film Festival's 50th anniversary (fans of Kurosawa, Panahi and Rex the Dinosaur, we will programme your cinema, speak soon xx).

This week we dive into the hallucinogenic world of Disco Boy, which stars European arthouse cinema's current It boy Franz Rogowski as an undocumented Belarusian immigrant who joins the French Foreign Legion. We also take a look at Evil Does Not Exist, the latest from Ryusuke Hamaguchi. This Japanese filmmaker has amassed a cult following but he's still to convince some of our hosts on the pod. Will Evil Does Not Exist change their minds? And with Lynne Ramsay's Ratcatcher getting a 25th-anniversary rerelease this month, we look back at the four feature films to date from this visionary Scottish filmmaker. TIMESTAMPS: Monster, Mr and Mrs Smith (2024), Sex, Lies & Videotapes and Irish Wish (1:50) Disco Boy review (10:55) Evil Does Not Exist review (23:54) The films of Lynne Ramsay (37:30) CINESKINNY FILM CLUB TICKETS: https://www.theskinny.co.uk/tickets Follow the team on Twitter @ptrsmpsn @anahitrooz @jamiedunnesq @lew_rob_, get us on Twitter, Instagram, Letterboxd and TikTok @thecineskinny, email us at cineskinny@theskinny.co.uk; recorded at EHFM, Summerhall – ehfm.live Music: Too Cool by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4534-too-cool) License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license

Ellie, Jamie, Anahit and Peter also have a chat about upstart film competition 'The Oscars', aka 'The Academy Awards'. See, they haven't even settled on a title yet, amateurs. Peter has a coughing fit, Anahit is jet-lagged and buzzed on Red Bull so won't stop playing with the sound effects, Ellie talks us through the finer points of animation studio politics, and Jamie tells us all about why Bradley Cooper shouldn't win an Oscar.

Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, Dogtooth etc) returns with the hugely anticipated Poor Things, adapted from Alasdair Gray's brilliant riff on Frankenstein. Are we angry he didn't set it in Glasgow? Did its sexual politics shock us? Do we rate Willem Dafoe's Scottish accent? Listen to find out. Also on the show, we review Andrew Haigh's devastating All of Us Strangers, and given that Lanthimos and Haigh have made bold adaptations that differ significantly from the books, we pick our favourite adaptations that bring something new to their source material.

On this week's episode, we take a trip back to the halcyon days of 2006 for Emerald Fennell's Saltburn where Barry Keoghan brings chaos to a family of aristocrats. We also take a look at Tish from Edinburgh-based filmmaker Paul Sng, which acts as a tender portrait of unsung Tyneside photographer Tish Murtha. And inspired by Barry Keoghan's very horny and freaky performance in Saltburn, the team chose their favourite little horny freaks in cinema.

Elaine and Louise chat with Lula Mebrahtu or Lula.XYZ about her exciting new show OommoO which is on @Summerhall in the Red lecture Theatre @4.15pm until the 27th August 2023. We chat the creation of the show, telling stories with the beat of life, loss and so much more. It's another wonderful episode with another wonderful guest. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/oommoo Oommoo Real-life events of a first-generation immigrant navigating the duality of two cultures, Habesha (Eritrean/Ethiopian) heritage and British identity. It looks at the effects of memory loss on a displaced community. When you've left everything behind for the promise of something "better", and it's not better… When you have nothing but memories and memory is fading… What do you have? Interviewing language, customs and music with wearable tech MiMu gloves, it's a poetic reflection of an emotionally visceral experience unpacked through an Afro-Futuristic East-African lens.

We chat the creating the show, finding that person you connect with both personal and creatively and all things Fanfiction. Louise is in her element. Another great episode with brilliant humans. https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/slash Slash The Blond (Emily Allan) and The Dark Haired One (Leah Hennessey) attempt to transcend the banality of identity and the terror of consciousness through cosplay, anglophilia, critical theory and song. Incorporating fan-fictional pairings such as Lennon/McCartney and Sherlock/Watson, interspersed with meta commentary by infamous second-wave feminists (Camile Paglia, Andrea Dworkin) and mashed up 80s punk songs, they guide the audience through an infernal fantasia of perverted intertextuality. Described as 'prankish genius' (TheParisReview.org) and 'the ultimate fanfiction play' (Syfy.com), Slash is a pop-feminist tour de force about the erotics of collaboration and friendship. https://www.instagram.com/prettyboysinlove/?hl=en https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fleahvictoriahennessey%2F%3Fhl=en https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Femilyggallan%2F%3Fhl=en OUR WEBSITE - www.persistentandnasty.co.uk Persistent Pal & Nasty Hero - Pals and Hero Membership Support In The Room - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/in-the-room Email – persistentandnasty@gmail.com Instagram - @persistentandnasty Twitter - @PersistentNasty Coffee Morning Eventbrite - Coffee Morning Tickets LINKTREE - LINKTR.EE Resources Samaritans - Rape Crisis Scotland - Rape Crisis UK ArtsMinds - BAPAM Freelancers Make Theatre Work Stonewall UK - Trevor Project - Mermaids UK Switchboard LGBT+ - GATE PLANNED PARENTHOOD DONATE - DONATE ABORTION SUPPORT NETWORK UK - ASN.COM- DONATE WeAudition offer: For 25% off your monthly subscription quote: NASTY25 Backstage Offers: Get a free 12 months Actor Subscription: https://join.backstage.com/persistentnasty-uk-12m-free/

SPECIAL EPISODE. Today Elaine chats with not one but two creatives who both have shows on at the Edinburgh festival. First time we have had a collar like this and it was gorgeous. Elaine speaks with writer of Gunter - Lydia Higman on @Summerhall till the 27th August @9.10pm and creator of Growler - Dee Mulrooney also @Summerhall until 26th August @7.00pm. We talk about both shows, patriarchy, witchcraft, the power of the earth and our connection to it, the importance of telling of history to learn and grow from it and so much more.

'A company to watch' ***** (TheatreReviews.co.uk). Cast: Julia Grogan, Norah Lopez-Holden, Hannah Jarrett-Scott and Lydia Higman. GROWLER Growler is an 82-year-old, drum-banging shamanic vulva.

Through storytelling, spoken word, song and comedy, no stone is left unturned and no one is left behind.

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022 series Elaine chats to the creators of Two Fingers Up Gina Donnelly and Seòn Simpson. How the show came to be, sex education, female masturbation. The pleasure if enjoying your own body and more. TW: there is mention of an assault case from Northern Ireland. Two Fingers Up What do you remember of sex education and puberty? Or at least, what can you remember that you haven't blotted out? For many we were given the archaic and established believes that our parents and grandparents were told; of how to act, what to shave and what not to do, with much of the suggestions being a way to ‘control' our bodies – that's right, we're talking abstinence. Unapologetic, unfiltered, and uncompromising, Two Fingers Up grasps the audience by the unmentionables and drags them down to the confusing level of adolescence. And shifting from young girls of ten into teenage years, Sarah Reid, Orla Graham and Shannon Wilkinson transmogrify themselves through the experiences and confusions. As the dynamics of the production move forward, the emotional integrity shifts from comedic, to intimacy, to revolutionary and a call of action and acceptance. Seón Simpson and Gina Donnelly's writing has a precision of understanding in an eloquent (and not so eloquent) manner, but the direction in places needs a tighter fisted approach – particularly in the shows more aggressive sequences. Disconnecting any personal bias from the agreement with what the writing covers, Two Fingers Up contains itself as a well-developed and crafted piece of theatre. Not only this, but the production also works well as a piece of film – streaming over demand for Summerhall. Gavin Pedan's filmmaking retains the authenticity of the stage while allowing a few snippet changes in camera angles to draw audiences closer to the facial expression of the cast. And outside of the occasional lighting change, Oisín Jayat's sound design brings additional erratic momentum to the production .The energetic trio bound around the stage, utilising the space to its fullest in their exploration of humour and jest. As expected, comedy is the centrefold holding together the meticulous commentary and shoe-string narrative. Playing multiple roles, crossing age milestones, and experiencing the wonders of masturbation, love and their first dick pics, the performances form accessibility to the audience with exuberant expression, timing, and accessibility. But this doesn't devalue the fear and anxieties present in young women in Northern Ireland. The trio effortlessly conveys the impending dread to a nation with systemic issues of religious impressions onto sex education and freedoms. They challenge the stigma of sex and women in Northern Ireland head-on and do so while infusing a sterling understanding and belief in Seón Simpson and Gina Donnelly's writing. They openly grasp the idiotic notion of denied pleasure, or the idea of pain and ‘first-time' sex in women, broaching an openness with the audience to discover themselves.

Carmine and I discuss a rather interesting interview Elio Garcia and Linda Antonsson had with Maglor and Javi Marcos. The two discussed their role in the GoT Prequels, Fire and Blood, Summerhall, Aerea Targaryen, Euron and several of their theories on Ice and Fire.

The final three Targaryen Kings -- Aegon V, Jaehaerys II, and Aerys II -- ruled collectively for more than 50 years, and their reigns were all influenced to some extent by dragon dreams, prophecies, and the Blackfyre issue. Join us as we follow those threads through the final decades of Targaryen rule in the Seven Kingdoms -- including an analysis of the tragedy at Summerhall -- and speculate what the histories might reveal to us about the present and future of House Targaryen in ASoIaF.

UK-based artist, director, writer, and activist Javaad Alipoor explores the dark depths of the internet, toxic masculinity, and the online radicalization of disaffected young men in his play.Experience The Believers Are But Brothers live, January 22-26, 2020 at the Arthur Miller Theater in Ann Arbor.UMS's No Safety Net Festival is supported by the William Davidson Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the University of Michigan College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.About the ArtistJavaad Alipoor is an artist, director, writer and activist who regularly makes theatre with and for communities that don’t usually engage in the arts. He is a Scotsman Fringe First and Columbia University Digital Storytelling Award winner. In 2017 his play, The Believers Are But Brothers, opened at Transform Festival in Leeds before transferring for a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at Summerhall at the Edinburgh Fringe, where it received a Scotsman Fringe First Award. The production then ran at London's Bush Theatre before its world tour.
In 2017, Javaad Alipoor’s The Believers Are But Brothers opened at Transform Festival in Leeds before transferring to Summerhall for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Scotsman Fringe First, and later was adapted for television and shown on BBC4. This was the first play in a trilogy, the second part of which, Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran, premièred at the Traverse Theatre during the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe and is about to open at HOME Manchester. A week before it opened, BTG Editor David Chadderton spoke to Javaad at HOME about his work, his creative process and about the form of political theatre in today’s technological age. Rich Kids: A History of Shopping Malls in Tehran opens at HOME Manchester on Wednesday 23 October and runs until Saturday 2 November 2019.
For this month’s episode, I spoke with the Maclean brothers, three young lads from my hometown of Edinburgh in Scotland. Growing up, the three brothers would take adventures in Nedd, a small nook in north-west Scotland and quickly became seasoned in sailing and other outdoor activities. Earlier this year it was announced that they would be taking up the enormous challenge of rowing across the Atlantic, from La Gomera in the Canary Islands to Antigua in the Caribbean, that’s around 3,000 miles, for two charities, Feedback Madagascar and Children 1st, as part of the Talisker Whiskey Challenge this December. Their aim, which is described on their website, is “to become the first three brothers and the youngest trio to row across the Atlantic Ocean.” This episode was created and released in October, which for them, was already two months away from the beginning of what could be the toughest challenge of their lives. This episode contains many anecdotes and recordings over a period of two days, So I will be creating two parts. The first half will explore the fund-raising event called Tradlantic, in association with Pickerings Gin, which took place at Summerhall in Edinburgh on the 5th October, and the second part will cover the morning after, where the main interview took place, featuring bacon sandwiches and hangover tea. Massive thanks to everyone who I interviewed in the making of this episode including the Maclean Family, my family and Jules, Robert McDowell (Director of Summerhall), Sam Nicholson, Tony McHugh, Hannah Fisher, Sorren Maclean, everyone at the event, Jamie Spencer (Director of Feedback Madagascar), and Hans and Becky Offringa.

In this conclusion to the Targaryen history, we begin by discussing Aegon the IV (Aegon the Unworthy) who ruled from 172 AC-184AC and his betrayal to his family when he legitimized all his bastards on his death bed which would eventually plunge the Targaryen family into a civil war with the Blackfyres for over 80 years. Young Aegon V Targaryen dreamed of hatching dragons and we examine the events that lead to the tragedy of Summerhall, and the birth of the Dragon Prince Rhaegar. We bring all the Targaryen history to head when The Mad King Aerys takes the throne, and brings the Targaryen family reign to their bitter end when overthrown by the Usurper Robert Baratheon and Ned Stark. Thanks for listening to us drink, giggle and debate over 300 years of Targaryen History. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/fireandwinepodcast)

In this episode, Emma is again in Brighton, talking with performance maker Rosana Cade about identity and difference. About holding hands in public space; performances in public space; fear in public space and the Brighton Safety Map Project. Also about weird hugs and kissing your cousins. We were invited to record this episode by Pink Fringe in conjunction with The Safety Map, a project they were facilitating across the recent bank holiday weekend at the Marlborough Theatre. It was an invitation for people to share experiences of anti-social behaviour in Brighton as well as spaces where they feel welcomed and celebrated. Rosana says ”I am a performance maker based in Glasgow. Whilst the form of my performance work varies, and emerges in relation to the specific process or context I am engaging with, it is firmly rooted in a queer discourse and straddles live art and activism. My performances happen in various contexts including theatres, public spaces, as well as club and cabaret settings.

Comedian and actor Jonny Donohoe talks about the Edinburgh Fringe and New York success of Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan, as well as his experiences of working interactively with audiences and playing opposite Sarah Jessica Parker. After a successful run on the Edinburgh Fringe in Paines Plough's portable Roundabout Theatre at Summerhall, the production transferred to Barrow Street Theatre in New York from 5 December 2014 until 29 March 2015. Following its run in New York, Every Brilliant Thing will embark on an extensive UK Tour.
Scots Whay Hae! made the trip to Summerhall in Edinburgh to talk to writer, poet, playwright and polymath, Ron Butlin about his life and work. The result is just under an hour of informative and entertaining chat that is a must listen for anyone interested in writing. Of course, we would say that, but it doesn’t make it any less true. If you have never listened to a Scots Whay Hae! podcast before then we suggest this is the perfect place to start.
Don't worry, the chances of me actually playing party music on a Toadcast are about as good as Lana Del Rey getting some semblance of life back into that blank, empty, defeated gaze of hers.No, in reality this is called the Partycast because we are having the label Christmas Party tomorrow at Summerhall, and so tomorrow I shall be running around all day collecting a PA, and shitloads of absolutely awful tinsel and dreadful Christmas decorations.Also, rather tragically. I shall be trying my very best (and probably failing) not to get too utterly obliterated because I will have to be up early in the morning to return the bloody PA and get all our merch stuff through to Chambre 69 to try and sell to people of Glasgow in vast, lucrative quantities. But umm... well I think it's time to accept that I am going to feel like a menstruating badger on Saturday morning.01. Francobollo - Basketball (00.17)02.

The baubles in question would be twofold: Firstly, the Song, by Toad readers are awarding their own baubles for the year's musical endeavours, both in terms of anointing their song and their album of the year. And secondly, the very second I post this I am heading up into town to Kid Canaveral's Christmas Baubles, their second of what I assume will become an annual Christmas knees-up, this time hosted at Edinburgh's rather amazing Summerhall. This week on Song, by Toad I will be publishing my own top twenty albums of the year, and then moving on to the Festive Fifty - basically your average predictable blogger's December rituals.
