Podcasts about theater

Leider mussten wir unsere Winterpause aus persönlichen Gründen um zwei Wochen verlängern. Das tut uns wahnsinnig leid. Um euch ein wenig zu vertrösten, kommt heute dafür eine Folge aus dem Archiv, die uns sehr am Herzen liegt. Regulär geht es hier dann am 04. Februar mit einer neuen, spannenden Folge weiter. Vor Kurzem jährte sich ein Verbrechen zum 14. Mal, das mehr Leben gekostet hat als die meisten Straftaten, die hier im Podcast bisher erzählt wurden. Die Beteiligten haben für das Verbrechen keine Messer, keine Pistolen oder andere Waffen benutzt. Zu dieser Tat hat vielmehr ihre Überheblichkeit und fehlendes Verantwortungsgefühl geführt. In dieser Folge “Mordlust - Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe” besprechen Laura und Paulina den Fall der Costa Concordia - eines der größten Schiffsunglücke unserer Zeit. Matthias und Marcel sitzen in der Bar des Kreuzfahrtschiffes, das sie sieben Tage auf eine mediterrane Rundreise geschickt hat und ihr schwimmendes Zuhause war. Morgen geht es wieder von Bord, weshalb sie an diesem Abend ihren Urlaub nochmal Revue passieren lassen wollen. Als der 38-jährige Matthias für weitere Drinks sorgen will, wird der Ozeanriese plötzlich von einem heftigen Schlag erschüttert. Kurze Zeit später heißt es über die Lautsprecher, es handele sich um einen Stromausfall. Matthias und Marcel sind nicht überzeugt. Sie machen sich auf den Weg nach draußen, um nachzuschauen, was los ist. Große Luftblasen steigen um das Kreuzfahrtschiff herum auf. Kein gutes Zeichen. Während an Bord langsam Panik ausbricht, versuchen die zwei Freunde Platz auf einem Rettungsboot zu ergattern. Vergebens. Wenig später sind sie im Inneren des Schiffs gefangen, während die Costa Concordia langsam mit Wasser vollläuft. 32 Tote, etliche Verletzte und daran soll allein der Kapitän schuld sein. Bis heute steht die Frage im Raum, ob wirklich alle Verantwortlichen zur Rechenschaft gezogen wurden. In dieser Folge schildern wir, wie es zu der Katastrophe kommen konnte, warum die Evakuierung so lange gedauert hat und sprechen mit Menschen, die dabei waren, als das Schiff, was sie für unsinkbar hielten, langsam vom Meer verschluckt wurde. **Credit** Produzentinnen/Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Recherche: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Vera Grün Schnitt: Pauline Korb **Shownotes** Sky Dokumentation: Costa Concordia – Chronik einer Katastrophe Das Funk-Protokoll: https://bit.ly/3i7LecC *Fall* Bild: Vor 10 Jahren sank die “Costa Concordia”: https://bit.ly/3WFeoyJ MZ: “Costa Concordia”: https://bit.ly/3IokrU6 Spiegel: Überlebende des “Costa”-Unglücks: https://bit.ly/3Qa8Qd7 Die Story: Costa Concordia Die ganze Geschichte Lügen, Versagen, Leid: https://bit.ly/3jBMTre SWR Nachtcafé: Wenn der Traum zum Albtraum wird: https://bit.ly/3CiEP5p Sueddeutsche: Albtraum in Endlosschleife: https://bit.ly/3WKK1XY FAZ: Costa-Concordia-Unglück: https://bit.ly/3WNMEs4 FAZ: Costa-Concordia-Doku bei Sky: https://bit.ly/3i9RwZf *Prozess* Sueddeutsche: Costa-Concordia-Kapitän verurteilt: https://bit.ly/3WFi1F6 Sueddeutsche: "Costa Concordia"-Prozess: https://bit.ly/3G9Ai6d Spiegel: "Costa Concordia"-Urteil bestätigt: https://bit.ly/3Qc17v5 Spiegel: Urteil im “Costa-Concordia”-Prozess: https://bit.ly/3X0gqJz Stern: Prozess um Costa-Concordia-Unglück: https://bit.ly/3jL62qO Welt: Prozess gegen Kapitän Schettino ost großes Theater: https://bit.ly/3vFlY0l Spiegel: Der hilfsbereite Capitano: https://bit.ly/3GygFpQ ARD MM: Costa Concordia-Prozess: https://bit.ly/3G4KuwI **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance" we are joined by American Ballet Theatre ballerina Zimmi Coker. Zimmi recounts how, as a former dance herself, her mother gently guided her through her initial training, how she fell in love with ABT and began to receive plum roles in major full length works, and, most harrowingly, how she overcame a devastating injury that had her pulling out of performances and in searing pain for more than a year and a half. Zimmi will be performing featured roles in ABT's upcoming seasons at the Koch Theater and the MET in New York City; follow her on instagram at @zimmy9 for further updates on her casting.

In the summer of 2002, 15-year-old Camilla Petersen, a Danish exchange student, travelled to the Isle of Wight expecting a life-changing experience. Instead, her visit would end in tragedy. What began as a quiet day in a beautiful rural setting triggered one of the Island's most disturbing investigations, exposing how quickly innocence can collide with hidden danger.Join me at TrueCrimeFest in London in Marchhttps://www.truecrimefest.co.uk/Buy My New True Crime Content Creators Online Coursehttps://adam-s-site-be58.thinkific.com/products/courses/true-crime-content-creation-courseWriting Credit: Chris WoodYou can buy Chris's second book, 'Death in the Theatre' here: https://www.amazon.com/Death-Theatre-Chris-Wood/dp/1399009117Watch my YouTube channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@Adam-uktruecrime/videosListen/Watch the True Crime Catch Uphttps://audioalways.lnk.to/TrueCrimeCatchUpFind Our More About Mehttps://uktruecrime.comJoin UK True Crime Facebook Grouphttps://www.facebook.com/groups/UKTrueCrime Hosted on Acast.

Nick is joined by former radio producer and longtime movie obsessive Tom Hush for the debut of what instantly feels like a dangerous new segment, Tom's Theater of Trash. The two dive headfirst into the world of gloriously bad and forgotten films, starting with Tom's love for the sharksploitation oddity Jaws 5: Cruel Jaws. That spirals into a conversation about the history of the subgenre, the fine art of stealing footage, why low-budget filmmaking can be charming, and exactly how Sharknado managed to miss the entire point. Later, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to clean out the voicemail bag and wander into the graveyard of celebrity talk shows no one remembers, including brief, strange detours hosted by Martin Short and Zach Galifianakis. Things wrap up with shared memories of attending tapings of The Jenny Jones Show, which were exactly as chaotic and ill-advised as you would expect. It's trash cinema, forgotten TV, and bad decisions, all handled with pride. [Ep 422]

'Abbott Elementary' star Chris Perfetti joins the show. Over oxtail pasta and bee sting pizza, Chris tells me about the evolution of his character Jacob, why they didn't need to overexplain his sexual orientation, and w g his love of theater with a busy sitcom schedule. Plus, I recall a run-in with Chris at LAX, that now seems like it was a big turning point in his life. This episode was recorded at Roberta's in Studio City, CA. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rebellion and Theater in MinnesotaThe dialogue turns to the rebellious American province of Minnesota, where local authorities and National Guard forces reportedly confront federal Department of Homeland Security agents over immigration enforcement in suburban streets. Gaius expresses alarm at combat-ready troops appearing in peaceful neighborhoods, while Germanicus identifies these confrontations as symptoms of potential civil war, drawing parallels to the radicalization that preceded the French and Spanish Civil Wars when ideological factions manufactured crises to justify violence. They dissect what Germanicus terms the "theater" of modern political conflict, wherein the Left imitates revolutionary Jacobins while the Right grows increasingly militant, both sides driving the nation toward artificial confrontation that serves partisan interests rather than public good. Germanicus notes the bitter irony of the Governor—referred to variously as Wallace or Waltz—who previously deployed what critics called "stormtroopers" during the plague years to enforce compliance, now mobilizing those same forces against the central government he once served. The debaters conclude that while much of this represents performative "authoritarian theater" designed for political consumption rather than genuine rebellion, such staged conflicts carry the grave risk of spiraling into authentic fratricidal violence and the catastrophic breakdown of imperial order that doomed previous republics.1902

The hour kicks off with Ronnie Marmo, writer and star of “I’m Not a Comedian, I’m Lenny Bruce,” joining the show to talk about his powerful one-man performance honoring the legendary comic. Ronnie shares insight into portraying Lenny Bruce, the impact of the show, and details about the one-night-only performance this Sunday, January 18th at 2pm at the La Mirada Theatre. The conversation then shifts to sports and culture as the crew celebrates the SDSU cheer team finishing second at Nationals, before diving into a spirited debate about airline etiquette — is there really a dress code for flying, and does seasonal wear on planes cross a line? The hour wraps with a mix of sports and style, breaking down the NFL’s surprising move to have a fashion editor, followed by discussion of an ongoing college basketball illegal gambling scandal and what it could mean for the sport. Theater, sports pride, plane fashion debates, and controversy — a wide-ranging and entertaining hour.

Top Stories for January 17th Publish Date: January 17th PRE-ROLL: Kia Mall of Georgia From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Saturday, January 17th and Happy Birthday to James Earle Jones I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett KIA Mall of Georgia. Gwinnett commission accused of deliberately skipping GOP member for vice chair Kemp proposes money for Highway 316 projects, fighting homelessness GCPS receives grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: EAGLE THEATRE STORY 1: Gwinnett commission accused of deliberately skipping GOP member for vice chair Drama is brewing in Gwinnett County politics, and it’s all about the vice chairman seat on the county commission. Republicans are accusing the Democratic majority of intentionally skipping over the board’s lone Republican, District 4 Commissioner Matthew Holtkamp, for the ceremonial role. For years, the vice chair position rotated among district commissioners—until it didn’t. Holtkamp, now in his fourth year, has never been chosen. Instead, the board voted 4-1 to name Democrat Ben Ku as vice chair, sparking claims of “partisan gamesmanship.” Holtkamp, for his part, kept it diplomatic: “I was disappointed but respect the process.” Others? Not so much. Republicans are calling it a blatant snub. Democrat Kirkland Carden didn’t mince words, saying Holtkamp’s “partisan antics” cost him the role. But Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson downplayed the drama, calling the vote a routine decision. And so, the debate rages on. STORY 2: Kemp proposes money for Highway 316 projects, fighting homelessness Gov. Brian Kemp has big plans for Georgia this year—think highways and homelessness. At the Georgia Chamber’s Eggs and Issues Breakfast, he laid out his priorities, and for Gwinnett residents, one stands out: $200 million to keep transforming State Route 316 into a limited-access highway. “Growth along 316 is incredible,” Kemp said. “We need a safe, efficient expressway.” Work’s already underway at Hi Hope Road, with more interchanges and overpasses coming. But that’s not all. Kemp’s also pushing $1.8 billion for permanent express lanes on I-75 in Henry County to ease its infamous traffic jams. And homelessness? He’s proposing $50 million for grants to fund shelters, outreach, and mental health services. Big moves, big money—Kemp’s aiming to leave a mark. STORY 3: GCPS receives grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation Gwinnett County Public Schools just scored big—literally. Thanks to a $6.3 million grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation (with help from Atlanta United, the Falcons, and PGA TOUR Superstore), middle and high school sports are getting a major boost. What’s the plan? For starters, GCPS will add field lighting at six athletic fields, meaning weekday soccer games—no more cramming everything into Saturdays. Better lighting also means safer, more flexible practices and games. The grant will also fund girls’ flag football at 14 middle schools by 2026 and help cover costs for boys’ and girls’ soccer programs, especially in underserved areas. The Blank Foundation, founded by Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank, has donated over $1.5 billion to causes that unite and uplift communities. This grant? Just another example of that mission in action. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles MarketsSTORY 4: Fox Theatre delivers chart-topping year The Fox Theatre had a banner year in 2025, racking up awards and accolades that cement its place as one of the most beloved venues in the country. From ticket sales to community impact, the recognition poured in. The biggest win? Being crowned IEBA’s 2025 Theatre of the Year—an honor that highlights excellence in programming, operations, and artist relations. “This reflects the strength of our team, the artists who grace our stage, and the audiences who keep showing up,” said CEO Allan Vella. The Fox also dominated year-end charts: No. 2 Highest Grossing Venue Worldwide (Billboard), No. 1 in ticket sales for its size (VenuesNow), and No. 6 globally for ticket sales (Pollstar). Locally, it snagged “Best of Atlanta” honors and a Reader’s Choice Award from the Atlanta Jewish Times. Even the leadership shined—Vella made Atlanta Magazine’s “Atlanta 100” and Billboard’s Touring Power Players list, while team members Rachel Bomeli and Faustina Brooks earned industry awards. The Fox isn’t just a theatre; it’s a cultural powerhouse. STORY 5: Johnson-Morgan named school board chair, Simmons is vice chair Gwinnett County’s school board is shuffling its leadership roles for 2026, but keeping familiar faces at the helm. Tarece Johnson-Morgan, last year’s vice chair, is stepping up as chairwoman, while Adrienne Simmons, who served as chair in 2025, will now take on the vice chair role. Both votes? Unanimous. Not everyone was thrilled, though. Board member Steve Knudsen voiced frustration that Steve Gasper or Rachel Stone weren’t considered for vice chair—but, notably, he didn’t nominate them during the vote. In other business, the board kept its attorney and legal organ the same, readopted policies, and adjusted a few meeting dates for the year. We’ll be right back. Break 3: GCPL Passport STORY 6: Georgia Democratic lawmakers try to rein in ICE Georgia Senate Democrats took aim at the Trump administration Tuesday, introducing a flurry of bills targeting immigration enforcement and military deployments. They didn’t hold back, calling Trump’s administration a “rogue regime” and demanding state Republicans step up. One flashpoint? ICE. After an officer fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, Sen. Josh McLaurin accused ICE of escalating violence. “We’ve all seen the video,” he said. “This isn’t what they’re trained to do.” McLaurin’s bill would let citizens sue ICE for civil rights violations. Other proposals include requiring judicial warrants for enforcement at sensitive locations (like schools and hospitals), mandating badges and unmasking ICE officers, and limiting National Guard deployments without the governor’s approval. Sen. Kim Jackson didn’t mince words: “If Georgia State Patrol can show their faces, so can ICE. It’s cowardice.” But Republicans, like Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte, dismissed the effort, saying, “The state can’t regulate the federal government.” STORY 7: Georgia GOP senators target Raffensperger over voter registration lists Georgia Republicans are turning up the heat on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, demanding he hand over the state’s unredacted voter registration list to the Trump administration. But Raffensperger? He’s not budging. State law, he says, protects private voter info—Social Security numbers, birthdates, driver’s licenses. Sharing that? Not happening. The DOJ, meanwhile, has been pushing all 50 states for voter lists, claiming it’s about accuracy. They even sued Georgia last month. The resolution, led by Lt. Gov. Burt Jones’ allies, accuses Raffensperger of “obstruction.” But it’s mostly symbolic—no legal teeth. Raffensperger’s office fired back, saying they’ve already complied as far as the law allows. “He won’t risk identity theft for millions of voters,” the statement read. The DOJ’s lawsuit heads to federal court in Macon soon. Stay tuned. We’ll have closing comments after this Break 4: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast.

Top Stories for January 15th Publish Date: January 15th From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Thursday, January 15th and Happy birthday to Martin Luther King Jr. I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. Dinosaur World Live returns to Gwinnett's Gas South Theater Gwinnett service organizations look to Families First model to better help others Ethics board dismisses complaint over Holtkamp's transit videos Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on raw milk All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink STORY 1: Dinosaur World Live returns to Gwinnett's Gas South Theater Dinosaur World Live is back—bigger, bolder, and fresh off its 2024 Olivier Award win for Best Family Entertainment. And guess what? It’s stomping into Gas South Theater on Feb. 7 for two shows. This isn’t your average dino show. Think jaw-dropping puppetry, life-sized dinosaurs so real you’ll swear they’re breathing, and a lineup that includes the mighty T. Rex, Triceratops, and more. The story? Miranda, daughter of paleontologists, grew up on a remote island surrounded by dinosaurs. Now, she’s bringing her prehistoric pals to meet you—just don’t get too close. Some of them bite. Tickets at GasSouthDistrict.com. STORY 2: Gwinnett service organizations look to Families First model to better help others LaShawna Edwards has always been a giver. It’s in her DNA. Helping others was just what her family did. So when life flipped the script and she found herself needing help? That was hard. “We’ve always been the ones giving,” she said. “To be on the other side of it? It’s rough.” Edwards, 50, had been juggling two jobs, raising her teenage sister, and caring for her mom, whose health was failing. Then came the rent hike—73%—and suddenly, they were living out of their car. What came next was Families First, a nonprofit that doesn’t just help—it acts. Edwards calls her caseworker, Angela Wylie, her “angel.” Wylie helped her find housing, food, and job resources. Edwards is still in a hotel, still searching for stability, but she’s hopeful. STORY 3: Ethics board dismisses complaint over Holtkamp's transit videos Gwinnett County Commissioner Matthew Holtkamp got some relief Tuesday when an ethics panel ruled he didn’t violate county rules by filming a video on a Ride Gwinnett bus urging voters to reject the 2024 T-SPLOST referendum. “I’ve been completely vindicated,” Holtkamp said. “This had no merit, and it’s unfortunate we had to waste resources on it.” The complaint, filed by a resident in Holtkamp’s district, claimed he improperly used county property for personal advocacy. But Holtkamp argued he paid his bus fare and had a friend—not county staff—film the video. The ethics board agreed, saying his actions didn’t break the rules.

We’ll be right back Break 2: Kia Mall of Georgia - GCPL Passport STORY 4: Gwinnett County, Lawrenceville get federal funds for water and police projects Gwinnett County and Lawrenceville just scored over $2 million in federal funding for water upgrades and public safety improvements. U.S. Rep. David Scott announced the approval, with $1.09 million earmarked for Snellville’s water infrastructure—upgrading a booster station’s electrical system and adding backup power—and $1.03 million heading to the Lawrenceville Police Department. The police funds? They’ll cover new patrol cars, trauma kits, breaching tools, and other gear to boost safety for both officers and the public. “This $2.12 million investment will make a real difference,” Scott said. “Better water, safer streets—I’m proud to deliver for Gwinnett.” STORY 5: Dacula Boys Basketball Seizes Region Lead with Victory at Central Gwinnett Dacula’s boys basketball team just keeps rolling. With a nail-biting 60-57 win over Central Gwinnett on Tuesday, the Falcons snagged first place in Region 8-AAAAAA and stretched their win streak to 11 games. Now sitting at 16-1 overall and 5-0 in the region, Dacula handed Central its first region loss, dropping them to 5-1. Case Presley led the charge with 21 points, eight boards, and three assists. Josh Brown notched a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds), while Kenny LaRue chipped in 10 points and some clutch playmaking. George Fajemirokun added six points and steady contributions all around. FALCONS: The Atlanta Falcons officially introduced Matt Ryan as their new president of football on Tuesday, and honestly, it feels like a full-circle moment. At the press conference in Flowery Branch, Ryan—who spent 14 seasons as the face of the franchise—spoke about his “unfinished business” with the team. “Since I was drafted, my mission’s been the same: help this organization win championships. We came close, had some success, but I believe we’ll get there,” he said. After retiring and working as a CBS Sports analyst, Ryan said he wasn’t looking for a new job—unless it was with the Falcons. Now, he’ll report directly to owner Arthur Blank, focusing on hiring a head coach and GM who share a unified vision. We’ll be right back.

It may not be Halloween, but there definitely seems to be a spooky season on UK stages – with Paranormal Activity making things go bump in the night, A Ghost in Your Ear sending chills down the spine and 2:22 A Ghost Story back on the open road (all before Dracula has begun performances in the West End!). With that in mind, Sarah and Alex put on their bravest faces and discuss why fear works so well on stage. Plus, in a complete tangent, why they're both thrilled to bits about Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey teaming up with Marianne Elliott and Tom Scutt for Sunday in the Park with George.

Visit: https://guyelston.com/home-page/ Praise for AjarAjar follows the time travel of a mind haunted by chemistries of violence and suicidality. LaPierre's keen lyrical voice creates a palimpsest of overlapping timelines and selves, and methodically crafts an expansive theory of Mad temporality and survival. These poems are rituals for haunting oneself into the future. —Rebecca Salazar, author of antibody Praise for The Character Actor Convention"What's certain is voice," quips one of the speakers in The Character Actor Convention, and voices certainly abound in this inventive, hilarious, and slyly wise collection… Guy Elston delves slantwise into the absurdities of our present and the disasters and solaces of our imagined futures. A lively and delightful debut!" –  Catriona Wright, author of Continuity Errors

While Shakespeare was reshaping English drama, a parallel theatrical revolution was unfolding in Spain. During the Spanish Golden Age, playwright Lope de Vega pioneered the comedia nueva, a bold new dramatic form that broke classical rules in favor of fast-paced plots, emotional intensity, and popular appeal. In this episode, scholar and translator Barbara Fuchs shares how the theatrical innovations of Lope de Vega, Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Tirso de Molina, Ana Caro Mallén de Soto, and others, including a three-act structure, blended genres, and complex female roles, helped redefine early modern theater and influenced the kinds of stories told on the English stage. Fuchs traces the rich cultural exchange between Spain and England and the work that she is doing now with Diversifying the Classics to bring plays in Spanish from both sides of the Atlantic to new audiences. Fuchs also discusses her adaptation for young audiences of de Vega's Fuente Ovejuna, a powerful story of collective resistance, whichwill be featured at the Folger's Reading Room Festival on Saturday, January 24.

This week on Geek Freaks, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday chatter and what the teaser strategy might be hinting at for the MCU's next big swing. We also hit the latest Tangled live-action conversation, dig into Netflix's theatrical strategy, and wrap with quick recs you can jump into right now. What We Cover Avengers: Doomsday teaser rollout and what it suggests about the movie's tone and focus Doctor Doom and X-Men speculation, what feels likely vs what feels like fan fuel Tangled live-action updates and why casting discourse is always a battlefield Netflix's theatrical window approach and what it means for studios and audiences Quick recs and what's worth your time this week Timestamps and Topics 01:46 Question of the week: Geek New Year's resolutions 05:55 Network update: Why Challenge Accepted is being put to rest 08:12 Are Disney live-action remakes still worth it? 16:52 Sebastian Stan rumored for Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part 2 17:40 Netflix and Warner Bros. talk, plus the 17-day theatrical window idea 25:33 Avengers: Doomsday marketing strategy: four teasers vs one trailer 50:25 Weekly recommendations: comics, movies, and a Taskmaster pitch 54:41 Network shout-outs and wrap-up Key Takeaways The way Marvel markets Doomsday may tell you as much as the footage does. Doctor Doom only works if the story earns his presence instead of rushing him in. X-Men teases hit harder when they support the main plot, not replace it. Live-action remake casting always turns into a referendum on the whole idea. Netflix's theater strategy keeps changing, and that uncertainty affects everyone.

We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message!One day, not so long ago, I was simply walking across my living room, when a thought hit me and stuck in my head that there was a wealthy elderly man sitting in his den playing a video board game that he had invented. The board game was somewhat magical and most complex. I stopped in my tracks and thought deeper. I realized that he was a God like figure and the board game was us, here on Planet Earth. We were the result of his invention. That was about it. I smiled and moved on across the room. But the notion stuck with me. I laughed at the thought and wrote it down on a slip of paper: Living In My Video Game.Perhaps several years later, here is the result of that pause in life.Theater of the Imagination is presented by Watchfire Music https://watchfiremusic.com/

THE THEATER OF CHAOS IN PERSIA AND VENEZUELA Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 92 AD. From a wine bar in Londinium, Gaius and Germanicus analyze modern geopolitical tensions through a Roman lens. They discuss unrest in "Persia" (Iran) and Venezuela, noting that Roman armies traditionally fail in Persia. Germanicus argues the US administration employs a strategy of "Wagnerian" drama and "chaos"—similar to 19th-century British imperial meddling—to manage global transitions without direct war. They observe that while "theater" and subversive "wet work" are being used to shift US strategy away from Eurasia, these melodramas, particularly in Venezuela, lack a clear "Act Two" or resolution.
