Back in 2021, we recorded our second ever wrap-up episode for our second play series: Twelfth Night. We both watched two versions of Twelfth Night: Trevor Nunn's 1996 film and She's the Man, then we also each watched an additional version. Kourtney watched the The Globe's 2012 production starring Mark Rylance, and Elyse watched National Theatre's 2017 production featuring Tamsin Greig.  But then, tragedy struck when Kourtney went to edit the episode! The audio files for the majority of the episode were corrupted and could not be used. The only usable audio was the portion of our conversation about She's the Man. So, we released what we could as our "Twelfth Night: Wrap Up" episode.  Since that day, we've dreamed about going back and revisiting the three productions that were lost to technological issues. Today, we are so excited to revisit those productions and share our 2025 thoughts with you.  Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp.

Today we're stepping into one of the most colourful, energetic, and wonderfully noisy traditions of the Tudor festive season, Morris dancing. You might picture modern dancers with bells and handkerchiefs on a village green… but in Tudor England, Morris dancing was bolder, brighter, and far more theatrical. In this video, we'll explore: - What Morris dancing really looked like in the 15th and 16th centuries - bells, ribbons, masks, mock combat, clashing staves, blackened faces, and vibrant costumes How it became part of court entertainment - including Henry VII's Christmas revels and Henry VIII's masques - Its deep roots in English folk culture - from May Day to Whitsun ales, parish festivals to civic pageantry - The unforgettable stock characters - Maid Marian (played by a man!), jesters, hobby-horses, Robin Hood, even dragons! - Why it mattered at Christmas and Twelfth Night - joy, misrule, community, and celebration at the darkest time of year - And how Morris dancing survives today - a living tradition linking us directly to the Tudor world If you've ever seen Morris dancing and wondered where it came from, or if you simply love the colour, spectacle, and spirit of Tudor celebrations, this episode is for you.

Yule Logs, Twelfth Night Cakes & the Lord of Misrule. Step into a Tudor Christmas with me! I'm historian Claire Ridgway, and today's Advent episode looks at the real Yuletide customs of Tudor England, from the dramatic arrival of the Yule log to the playful misrule of Twelfth Night. Why did Tudor households bring home an enormous log on Christmas Eve? What role did a humble bean play in choosing the “king” of the festivities? And how did these rituals blend ancient midwinter beliefs with Christmas celebrations? Discover the symbolism, the revelry, and the wonderful strangeness of a Tudor Yuletide, a world of firelight, games, and meaning woven into every tradition. Join me for a journey into the customs that made Christmas magical for the Tudors.

Terrifying & True returns with dark Christmas horror rooted in real Alpine folklore and chilling winter horror stories. Long before cozy Hallmark snowfalls, families in the high Alps spent the Twelve Nights of Christmas fearing a “Christmas Witch” who might reward your hard work… or split you open and stuff you with straw if you broke her rules. This is the terrifying legend of Frau Perchta and her horned horde, the Perchten – where festive lights, fasting days, and spinning wheels turn into a deadly checklist for survival.  In this holiday special, we dive into the eerie, mature side of winter tradition, where spooky stories, urban legends, and brutal morality tales kept entire villages in line through the darkest nights of the year. If you crave Christmas horror that feels older and sharper than anything under the tree, this is your episode.Inside this episode:The rules of the Christmas Witch: Why Alpine families raced to finish their spinning, scrub their homes, and eat a strict Twelfth Night meal before Epiphany, terrified that one broken tradition could invite Perchta's knife.Belly-Slitter punishments straight out of horror stories: From trampled weaving to the infamous eviscerations stuffed with straw and stones, we unpack how this gruesome myth drove real-world discipline in a brutal winter landscape.From Bright Goddess to winter monster: How a once-benevolent “Bright One” and Lady of Epiphany was demonized by the Church into a sinister Christmas hag, complete with goose-foot, ragged robes, and a curse-laden black cloth.Wild Hunts and haunted Alpine nights: The chilling tales of Perchta's ghostly procession screaming across the winter sky, dragging lost souls and unbaptized children in her wake, and why villagers locked doors and clutched charms when the wind howled.The Perchten, Krampus, and other holiday terrors: Meet the beautiful and ugly Perchten, see how they inspired modern Krampus runs, and compare them to figures like Belsnickel and Père Fouettard in a full-blown Christmas rogues' gallery.Living traditions in the spooky season: How today's Perchtenläufe—massive parades of horned masks, cowbells, and towering headdresses—keep this eerie anthology of winter legends alive in the mountains, blending folk horror with festival fun.This episode is perfect for listeners who love folklore, chilling stories, and mature themes that turn cozy Christmas nostalgia into something far more eerie, scary, and unforgettable. When the holidays get too sweet, remember: in some places, kids didn't just fear coal in their stocking—they feared Frau Perchta at the door.We're telling that story tonight.

Dragons that spat fire. Masked dancers sweeping through palace halls. Henry VIII himself turning up in disguise… Welcome to Tudor Twelfth Night, the most spectacular, theatrical, and joyfully chaotic night of the entire Christmas season. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway, and for Day 8 of my Tudor Christmas Advent series, we're stepping into the dazzling world of masques, mumming, disguisings, pageantry and revelry at the Tudor court. You'll discover: - What Tudor “disguisings” really were -  How mumming evolved into masked processions of luck and mischief - Why the morris dance became a Tudor Christmas favourite - The Italian-style masque Henry VIII introduced  - How Edward VI's court staged elaborate moral allegories, mock battles, and a banquet of 120 dishes - And how Twelfth Night became the grand, magnificent finale of Christmastide From wild pageant carts to torchlit dances… from Robin Hood characters to allegorical triumphs… Twelfth Night was where Tudor magnificence reached its peak.

This podcast is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.In this episode of Food for Thought, I explore the long, often-forgotten history of abstaining from meat during Advent and other Christian fasting periods, and how that tradition actually aligns beautifully with a modern vegan lifestyle.Drawing from my own Catholic upbringing, I look at how rites and rituals like Lent and Advent once emphasized simplicity, self-restraint, and giving up animal products, and how language, church rules, and holiday foods still carry traces of that history.I also invite listeners—religious or not—to consider their own version of conscious “fasting,” and I touch on traditional Advent/Christmas foods like Stollen that grew out of these practices.Here's the video version of the introduction to the re-broadcast:In this episode, you'll learn:* Historically, Christians spent more days not eating meat (and often other animal products) than eating it, especially around Lent and Advent.* The idea that being vegan is “incompatible” with culture or religion is new; religious abstinence from animal products is centuries old.* Words like “Carnival” (from carne levare – “remove meat”) and traditions like Meatfare/Cheesefare Sundays reflect this meatless history.* Advent used to be a serious season of fasting and abstinence, not just a time of treats, shopping, and countdown calendars.* Different Christian traditions (especially Eastern and Ethiopian Orthodox) still practice very strict, essentially vegan fasts for many days of the year.* Over time, church rules relaxed, and meat-eating became normalized and constant, while fasting became optional or symbolic.* You don't have to be religious to embrace the spirit of fasting: you can choose to simplify your diet, give something up (like alcohol, sugar, eating out, or processed foods), and let the feast feel more meaningful at the end.* Many beloved holiday foods—like Stollen, fruitcake, and other Advent breads and sweets—arose from these traditions of fasting, scarcity, and then feasting.* Part 2 will dive into Christmas feasting and traditional foods tied to the 12 Days of Christmas and Twelfth Night.Support the PodcastTo keep Food for Thought Podcast ad-free and accessible to all, I rely on the support of paid subscribers.

Sharing the special passages from Twelfth Night by Shakespeare.

A neglected Georgian house, shutters still, poplars trees surround it, whispering. Downstairs is a row of servant bells to call servants. One has a mysterious name and is reputed to ring when no one is there. Rumour speaks of a hooded figure and an owl; the corridors mutter with sounds of pipes, disconnected wires, and something harder to dismiss. By night, faces seem to change in the mirror; but by day, the rooms are ordinary. Servants won't stay there and then the owner organises an investigation, a ghost hunt, if you like. A society of guest who are to keep their counsel until Twelfth Night, listening for what remains and for the presence that speaks when the house is empty. First published as the Christmas number of All the Year Round (December 1859), a collaborative sequence framed and partly written by Charles Dickens. This reading includes Dickens's chapters: “The Mortals in the House” and “The Ghost in Master B.'s Room.” Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was a British novelist and social critic, author of Oliver Twist, Bleak House, and Great Expectations. He edited Household Words and All the Year Round, helping to make the Victorian Christmas ghost story a tradition.

Episode 104: Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Will Tosh Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We'll discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. William Shakespeare's romantic comedy, Twelfth Night, or What You Will is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, renowned for its clever cross-dressing plot and festive hi-jinks, but also for its elusive tone, fluctuating between the comic and a darker cruelty. The play is also infused with desire, both declared and suppressed, even subversive, as the characters search for love, status and identity. As we record this episode a new production of the play is playing at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London, and I'm delighted to welcome to the podcast the Globe's Director of Education, Dr Will Tosh.

This episode we are joined by actor, Shakespeare enthusiast and coach Sarah Spring!  Sarah, or Dame Sarah known to by her friends, shares her love, knowledge and teachings of The Bard across social media (Instagram, TikTok and YouTube). You can even check out her free guide to verse and her Amazon store front on great book recommendations on her page. As an actor, she has played many Shakespeare roles such as Lady Macbeth, Isabella, Viola, Regan, Hermione and Beatrice. As a coach, she works with anyone from actors to teachers in the ways of better understanding Shakespeare and performing. If you would like to work with Dame Sarah, reach out to her directly!We talk with Sarah about what got her into performing, where her love of Shakespeare started, why the use of verse is so important when studying and performing Shakespeare and much more!

Broadway represents some of the best and most exciting of what American theater has to offer. But for many people, it's inaccessible. Whether because of geography, cost or other considerations, most people will never sit in a Broadway theater and experience a play or a musical in person.For years, cast recordings have offered a way to experience Broadway shows at a remove. And now, in the streaming era, some Broadway shows are making themselves available to be watched remotely, in movie theaters and on television. Distance and expense aren't the impediments they once were to culture lovers looking to experience world-class theater.In this episode, Gilbert Cruz talks with Jesse Green and Elisabeth Vincentelli, two of The New York Times's culture writers, about new ways to experience some of the joys of theater from the comfort of your own home. On Today's Episode:Jesse Green is a Culture correspondent, focusing primarily on the fine arts, including theater, classical music and art.Elisabeth Vincentelli writes about culture for The Times. Background Reading:Want to Listen to Musical Cast Albums?

I want more wins from you. Lesley Logan 1:15  So something that inspired me, or like sometimes I feel like it can be educational. So they erased the 13th month because it was ruled by women. So this is from Stella Porta on Instagram. And this is interesting because I definitely had done some research and learned how, like, we got the Roman calendar, which is, like, makes no sense, and we have winter starting the new year off in the middle of winter, which makes zero sense. We should start the middle. We should start the year off at Spring, right? I just think so. But okay, here we go. Before the church ruled time, women followed a different calendar, one based not on the sun, but on the moon. It had 13 months of 28 days, mirroring the menstrual cycle. This wasn't just myth. It was math, 13 times 28 equals 364. Plus one holy day equals 365, Brad just walked in and I just blew his mind. So by the way, the Instagram has sources. So if you're like, this is baloney. No, it's not. There's like little sources. This lunar calendar shaped everything. It had four sacred weeks per month, New Waxing, Full and Waning. Sabbaths were tied to moon phases and a full year, called a year and a day, a phrase still found in spells and folklore. I have seen that in some stuff, and I was like, whoa, that's interesting. So a year and a day, right? Cultures around the world honored it. Maya, Maya women said that their calendar came from menstruation. Chinese women divided the sky into 28 lunar mansions, and in Gaelic words for menstruation and calendar are the same, miosach and miosachan. I don't know, M-I-O-S-A-C-H and M-I-O-S-A-C-H-A-N. So there you go. The Romans used the word menstruation for measuring time. It comes from mensura, measure, from the same root, we get mensis, month and the word menses, the monthly cycle. So one is mensis, maybe, and menses. A woman's body was the first clock, mind blown. But this body-based time was slowly erased. The church replaced the 13-moon year with a 12-month solar one. They called 13 unlucky, moon rites became witchcraft, even menstruation became taboo. Still the signs survived. Witch covens honor the number 13, The 13 Treasures of Britain. Sow with 13 teats in Malta's temples, Twelfth Night fires, 12 small flames, plus one large one to represent the 13th moon of the new year. So lots of little people, just like keeping that history around. I love it, generations, hundreds of years later, right? The church flipped time inside out. Pagans began their days at sunset. The Saxon word for day actually meant night. Good night was once good den or good moonday. Christianity didn't release the goddess calendar. It was rebranded. Christmas Eve equals the pagan night of the mother. Easter equals set by the first full moon after the spring equinox. May Eve, Midsummer Eve, Llamas Eve, All Hallow's Eve, all began as a lunar right. This is interesting. This source that's here I started on another podcast. Pretty much every amazing holiday used to be a pagan holiday, and then the church just rebranded it. So anyways, always good to know where these things came from because I just think you should know. I think you should know what things really are. Alright. They tried to rewrite time, to flatten her curves into straight lines, but the moon cycles never left. They pulse in the mirror of stories and the tides of women in the hush between full moons. And now she's being remembered, not as superstition, but as origin. So hopefully I can get this girl who posted this on the pod. I really. She was cool. And I thought this information is cool. And ladies, we need to know. Right? Time was actually all about us. And I just think that's amazing. Lesley Logan 5:08  So okay, a win of yours. Lisa MacDonald, had a summer cancelation hole on my schedule, but turned what could be considered a negative to a positive, and did Boom Boom Pow! with Lesley on the Reformer, finished with my boomerang on the mat, stood up and said awesome out loud, it felt great. Such a win. Coming off my duet session with Lesley and Melissa Hargrove last night, I felt strong, connected and fabulous. Thank you, Lesley, for inspiring me to look for a win and celebrate. Lisa MacDonald, of course, of course. Lisa is an OPC member. She's done my mentorship program, and so the Boom Boom Pow! was one of the OPC classes. And at OPC, we have a name for every class you have access to it for two weeks. And it's really fun when you get, if you're a teacher, you get a cancelation and you take class because then you get to have extra time with your Pilates practice, which I love. Lesley Logan 5:57  Okay, my win didn't get celebrated last week. We were out of town, and I wanted to make sure I told you, Brad and I celebrated 10 years of being married last week, which is insanity. It's so crazy. I don't know if you maybe this is maybe I'm not the only one, but please let me know if you feel like you are. Like, hold on, how long I've been with this person, or how long I've been doing any anniversary, right? Like, how long have I been doing this? Like it felt like we just got married, and actually, obviously we haven't, but, like, doesn't feel like it's been 10 years, which I guess is great, but then I look back and I'm like, wow, we have done so much in 10 years, like, an insane amount in 10 years. And it's really cool, because this is, like, the first time we have so much more to go and so much more to grow, but just really grateful that we got to celebrate that together, because sometimes our anniversaries line up where we are on a plane and we're together, but like, one of us probably sleeping, and also several times it's happened where we've, like, taken off on a flight on the second, we've landed on the fourth, because we lost today. So it's really nice that we were around together in the daylight hours, not on a plane, able to actually celebrate our 10 year anniversary, which is really, really great. So normally, the wins are something that you want to celebrate. Sometimes they're big, like a 10 year, you know, I'll celebrate 11 as well, but I think it's important that, you know, we celebrate wins, big or small. In the coming months, we're going to have a Habits Series on the program, and one of the biggest things you can start doing to big habits happen is start to notice the things that you actually are getting done, the wins that are actually happening in your life. All right, there's little ones every single day, and we are just not taking enough time to celebrate what we did do. And you know what? Maybe you've got a lot going on in your life, and the only thing to celebrate is that you took a shower and you put on a different change of clothes. That's a huge win. If that was the hardest thing you could do in the day. You know, like, I think you I think we have to start giving ourselves credit for what we have done. And I really, I interviewed someone to be on the pod, and I really like what they're saying. There's so many people who are doing outward actions to get outward affirmation, versus looking and glowing from within, and you can only do that if you're actually recognizing that you're doing really great stuff based in grace, babe. Lesley Logan 8:13  All right, your mantra. You ready for it? I do not rise and fall for another. I do not rise and fall for another. I do not rise and fall for another. No, you don't. You rise. You rise for you. Got it? So easy to do it for other people, and it hurts because it's hard that way. So I do not rise and fall for another. Lesley Logan 8:39  You guys, have an amazing week. We've got a great guest coming up next week. Can't wait for you to hear it and until then, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:46  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

A few interesting passages from Twelfth Night.

It's Rosebud's second birthday, and we're celebrating with another conversation with our very first guest: Dame Judi Dench. This time, it's been recorded in front of an audience, at the Concert Artists' Association in Covent Garden, London. Dame Judi treats us to some more stories from her amazing career. She tells Gyles about working with Tommy Steele, Johnny Depp and Clint Eastwood. She tells Gyles about having Eric Morecambe over for lunch. She talks about Macbeth and Twelfth Night and gives us some speeches from those plays - which will stop you in your tracks. We're extremely lucky to hear from this legendary actress once more. And we're extremely lucky to have been able to give you Rosebud for the past two years! Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Love's Labour's Lost, Berowne declares, “Let us dance and sport,” while in Twelfth Night, Sir Toby Belch exclaims, “Shall we set about some revels?” Shakespeare's plays are filled with movement—more than 100 stage directions across his works call for a dance, making dance not merely entertainment, but a powerful form of expression in the early modern world. This week on That Shakespeare Life, we're taking a closer look at what those dances might have looked like in real life. What was the significance of dancing in the 16th and early 17th centuries? What kinds of dances were popular? And how did they reflect the politics, courtship, and social hierarchies of the day? To help us explore the rhythm and meaning behind Shakespeare's choreography is our guest, historian and dance scholar Emily Winerock. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

James Shapiro wears many hats – author, scholar, cultural historian, consultant to New York's Public Theatre – discusses his work with actors and students, as well as his invaluable books A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599, The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606, and Shakespeare in a Divided America. Shapiro also shares experiences of working on this summer's Twelfth Night in New York's Central Park; working with Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal on Broadway in Othello; how he first discovered Shakespeare; what he learns from working with actors; the power of knowing whether a thou is a formal thou or an eff-you thou; being scolded (rightly!) by F. Murray Abraham; whether he prefers to be known as a historian, a mensch, or the Shakespeare Guy; how his thoughts about America have evolved since he wrote Shakespeare in a Divided America; how his correspondence with a Supreme Court justice was the Shakespeare in the coal mine; and how we look at the news for what's happening today but turn to Shakespeare to find out what's at stake.

Amanda Giguere is the director of outreach for Colorado Shakespeare Festival and her research and work putting together touring productions of Shakespeare in schools has resulted in her new book Shakespeare & Violence Prevention. Amanda discusses how valuable this work is and how it began; addresses the counter-intuitive notion that Shakespeare – the author of such violent plays – can be so useful in this kind of work; how Twelfth Night is a perfect tool, even for elementary school students, and why Titus Andronicus really isn't; the importance of climate awareness; the vital distinction that it's not the “Shakespeare Prevention Program,” it's the “Violence Prevention Through Shakespeare Program;” and how violence, like heart disease, is preventable. (Length 20:44) The post Shakespeare Prevents Violence?? appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

Extreme heat, wildfire smoke and other climate-related issues are having an effect – especially on outside performances. Plus, Top 10 Colorado Headliners and an interview with Miners Alley Associate AD Warren Sherrill.The phrase “the show must go on” has long been theatre's rallying cry, but climate change is beginning to force a harsh reckoning with that philosophy. From the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's $2 million loss due to wildfire smoke to actors literally collapsing from heat exhaustion during outdoor performances, extreme weather is no longer an occasional inconvenience – it's an ongoing threat. Yet this crisis is also revealing unexpected opportunities, as air-conditioned indoor venues become coveted refuges during heat waves. In this episode, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca dive into how rising temperatures and extreme weather are reshaping live performance, then explore this week's Colorado Headliners including The Mikado in Space, Twelfth Night productions in multiple venues, and Dixie's Tupperware Party. Plus, Alex sits down with Warren Sherrill, Associate Artistic Director at Miners Alley Performing Arts Center, to discuss his upcoming production of Sondheim's provocative musical Assassins – a show about presidential assassins that feels particularly relevant in our current political climate.  Episode SummaryOpening & What We've SeenAlex's Reviews: Cirque du Soleil Echo - Outstanding production with amazing digital/practical effects and an enormous Rubik's Cube set piece at Ball ArenaRichard II (Colorado Shakespeare Festival) - Streamlined, engaging production directed by Tim Orr, starring Kevin RichWoodlands and Wyverns (Audacious Immersiave) - D&D-style immersive theater at First Baptist Church basement; nerdy but fun with improving production values Toni's Reviews: Some Like It Hot (touring) - Exceptional production with great dancing and smart adaptation of gender themes A Doll's House Part 2 (Denver Theatre Ensemble) - Well-acted but too much static sitting Nightmare on Strip Street - Fun horror-themed burlesque parody with impressive athletic performancesNews SegmentColorado Creative Industries launched Community Revitalization Tax Credit for 10 projects supporting artists, childcare, and affordable housingMemorial tributes to poet laureate Andrea Gibson (died at 49 after cancer battle) and Kevin Ahl (Phamaly Theatre Company co-founder, died at 67)Henry Awards preview - ceremony July 27th at Lone Tree Art CenterMain Topic: Climate Change and TheaterDeep dive into how extreme weather is affecting live performances:Heat Impact: Shakespeare actors collapsing from heat; Town Hall Art Center canceling shows due to excessive heatFinancial Losses: Oregon Shakespeare Festival lost $2 million from wildfire smoke cancellations in 2018Safety Measures: Theaters implementing cooling tents, water breaks, lighter costumes, and flexible cancellation policiesEquipment Failures: Instruments going out of tune, sound equipment failing in extreme heatHuman Cost: Fan deaths at concerts, hospitalizations from heat-related issuesInsurance Costs: Weather-related coverage doubling from 1.25% to 2.5% of guaranteed amounts Colorado Headliners (Top 10 Upcoming Shows)Beehive: The 60's Musical, The Butte Theater, Cripple Creek, July 18-August 31

Connor and Jordan enroll in Illyria Preparatory School for some gender-bending shenanigans, including brawling debutantes, tampon-treated nosebleeds, and Channing Tatum's cheese preferences in Amanda Bynes' teen soccer comedy based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, She's the Man.

This week on Typology I had the joy of sitting down with author Hanna Howard, an Enneagram Four with a Five wing. Hanna's not only the author of the young adult fantasy novel Our Divine Mischief, but also a great example of how our Enneagram type shapes the stories we tell — on paper and in life. We talk about what sets a 4w5 apart — that mix of emotional depth and intellectual curiosity. While a 4w3 may lean toward image and achievement, Hanna shares how her Five wing draws her inward, toward reflection, research, and a rich world of ideas. Hanna opens up about her lifelong search for authenticity — that familiar Four longing to feel significant — and shares a moment from her college years when a single line from Twelfth Night put words to that ache for belonging. Of course, we talk about Our Divine Mischief — Hanna's alternate-history fantasy set in a magical version of Scotland. At its core, it's a story about belonging, something every Four knows well, complete with a wish-granting dog (yes, really). It's a rich conversation about creativity, personality, and the longing we all carry to belong. I hope you enjoy it. And if you're looking for a beautiful read, check out Our Divine Mischief.
