RuFF (Latitude 46 Publishing, 2024) is Rod Carley's highly-anticipated fourth novel. This historical fiction transports us to Elizabethan England, where we witness Shakespeare struggling through a midlife crisis while trying to win a national play competition to secure the King's business. Hilarious hijinks ensue, with whip-smart dialogue and a captivating tale that touches on salient social issues that persist today, including equality, justice, and censorship. Humour and incisive wit combine to create a compulsively readable and thought-provoking novel from this Leacock Award long-listed author. We know RuFF will be a favourite book of the year for many. More About RuFF: Rod Carley is back with another theatrical odyssey packed with an unforgettable cast of Elizabethan eccentrics. It's a madcap world more modern than tomorrow where gender is what a person makes of it (no matter the story beneath their petticoats or tights). Will Shakespeare is having a very bad year. Suffering from a mid-life crisis, a plague outbreak, and the death of the ancient Queen, Will's mettle is put to the test when the new King puts his witch-burning hobby aside to announce a national play competition that will determine which theatre company will secure his favour and remain in business. As he struggles to write a Scottish supernatural thriller, Will faces one ruff and puffy obstacle after another including a young rival punk poet and his activist-wife fighting for equality and a woman's right to tread the boards. Will and his band of misfits must ensure not only their own survival, but that of England as well. The stage is set for an outrageous and compelling tale of ghosts, ghostwriting, writer's block, and the chopping block. Ruffly based on a true story. About Rod Carley: Rod is the award-winning author of three previous works of literary fiction: GRIN REAPING (long listed for the 2023 Leacock Medal for Humour, 2022 Bronze Winner for Humour from Foreword Review INDIES, a Finalist for the 2023 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Humor/Comedy, and long listed for the ReLit Group Awards for Best Short Fiction of 2023); KINMOUNT (long listed for the 2021 Leacock Medal for Humour and Winner of the 2021 Silver Medal for Best Regional Fiction from the Independent Publishers Book Awards); A Matter of Will (Finalist for the 2018 Northern Lit Award for Fiction).

Limbeck: To rack the brain and exhaust yourself in an effort to come up with a new idea. Proggle: To poke, prod, or grubble about. Gyles' poem this week was 'Shakespeare at School' by Wendy Cope Forty boys on benches with their quills Six days a week through almost all the year, Long hours of Latin with relentless drills And repetition, all enforced by fear. I picture Shakespeare sitting near the back, Indulging in a risky bit of fun By exercising his prodigious knack Of thinking up an idiotic pun, And whispering his gem to other boys, Some of whom could not suppress their mirth – Behaviour that unfailingly annoys Any teacher anywhere on earth. The fun was over when the master spoke: Will Shakespeare, come up here and share the joke. A Sony Music Entertainment production.

ENCORE! represents the extracurricular theater program at Grayslake Central High School. We produce three productions per school year, and the format we have followed for the last handful of years is that we have a fall musical that we work on from the beginning of the school year and perform the weekend before Thanksgiving. This production has over 100 students involved in terms of actors, backstage technicians, and pit band members. We have student leaders in crew heads throughout all productions, and we regularly ask students to step up to be dance captains and to lead their peers. In the winter, ENCORE! has competed in the IHSA events of Contest Play Drama and Group Interpretation as what we call our competition team. These events compete in March, and we have competed since 2016, with the 2019 Group Interpretation show qualifying for State. The contest play involves students building a set, creating props and costumes, and then bringing all of that to a host school where we perform a 40-minute cutting of a play for other competing schools and judges. We switched gears this year to give our students a chance to create everything that comes along with creating a full-length play, and that is the show we are working on right now, Shakespeare in Love, High School Edition. We have 60 students working on this production, with four adult sponsors, and our show will be performed on March 15th-17th at GCHS. Performances will be on March 15th and 16th at 7pm, and on March 17th at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased at boxoffice.d127.org Our third production is our student-directed one acts, and this features seniors teaming up to direct their own short one act plays. This showcase of short plays is performed at the end of April, and is a great opportunity for younger and newer actors to try being on stage. ENCORE! has student leaders that make up the Executive Board, which is nominated by and elected by the Thespians of ENCORE! This Executive Board plans events like the holiday party and end-of-year reception for the company. Thespians are students who have put in 100 or more hours into our program through working on shows, and this includes acting roles. Our students in ENCORE! are some of the more dedicated and hardworking students I have ever had the joy of working with. They are kind, welcoming, and make sure that ENCORE! leaves a legacy that invites students who love theater a place in our school community. Kaitlyn Tagarao: Senior member of ENCORE! executive board, current actor in Shakespeare in Love playing Kit Marlowe Naty Parra: Senior member of ENCORE! executive board, current actor in Shakespeare in Love playing Nurse Hazel Dodds: Senior member of ENCORE! and current Student Production Manager in Shakespeare in Love Andrew Graham: Junior member of ENCORE! and current actor in Shakespeare in Love playing Will Shakespeare.

Happy Halloween!For our Spppooooky Halloween episode of The Cosmic Companion, we're going to look at Death in Space! Nearly 600 people have launched into space since Yuri Gagarin's first journey beyond our planetary birthplace. During that time, 19 people, so far, have perished during training or flights. 14 of these were accounted for by the pair of space shuttle tragedies. But, beyond accidents, death is one of the great certainties of life — or something like that. To paraphrase Will Shakespeare, “…[A]ll that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity, even in space.”One gruesome reality is that human bodies may need to be recycled — perhaps even becoming the basis of food. We will likely not be seeing Soylent Space anytime, but nothing can go to waste in space stations and habitats — astronauts aboard the ISS, for instance, are required to finish all their food for instance, and even human urine is recycled into water… Listen to our podcast here or watch the video version of this episode!We have the second edition of the newly-revamped VIP newsletter coming out this weekend full of extras, and…Join us 3 November for Ryugu and the Giant Laser! We will talk with Esen Ercan Alp of Argonne National Laboratory and Barbara Levine from the University of Chicago about their work examining samples from the asteroid Ryugu!

Another mind bending episode chatting with the flipside. Had no idea, no agenda as we always do when doing the podcast. I begin with a shot out to my pal Iris Libby, "AskIrisLibby.com" - Iris and I did a guided meditation which revealed Harry and Greta's conversation from last week. Then I asked our moderator Luana Anders what she wanted to talk about. To address the question, she first put an opera singer in Jennifer's mind, then a performance of "Romeo and Juliet" she had seen recently. I asked if was an opera singer who wanted to speak with us (could be anyone from Pavarotti to Lanza) or if it was the playwright (Verdi, Rossini, etc.) Jennifer said "It's the writer of the play." Then she paused and said "Will Shakespeare." For those familiar with "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" they know that we've already interviewed Will - talked to him about his life and his journey and his plays, and who rewrote them, or how much they were rewritten - and the reasons behind them. It was mind bending, as he mentions William Blake as being someone he works with often - someone who lived centuries later. We chatted with Blake then as well. But in this instance, he wanted to speak about the recent revelation that SCOTUS is about to overturn a woman's right to safe abortions. He started by observing that "men in power have always done these kinds of things since the dawn of history." I asked him to clarify his comments, and he does. Then Prince showed up and spoke eloquently about the topic - pointing out that if "abortion had been legal he wouldn't have been on the planet." (I've never heard that before - or am aware he spoke of it anywhere else, but it is the other side of the coin.) I asked him if that would have stopped him from becoming who he became, and he said "No, as that was part of my contract." So - the point is that people need to examine how incarnation works, the process of coming to the planet, how people bring a portion of their conscious energy to a lifetime, but do not arrive before the fourth month of gestation. Jennifer mentions that in her 4000 sessions, every time the topic has come up, the person learns that their child they didn't have still exists, is there for them on the flipside. Keeping an eye on them, or coming via another method. In the seven years we've done this kind of work, that has been mentioned often. I pointed out that Harry Dean Stanton, Elvis and Jimi Hendrix all recounted being met by a child they were supposed to have but did not. We realize how the process works - we realize that no one dies. That the child we were supposed to have is waiting for us - or has incarnated with someone else that we know. It's not opinion, theory or belief. It's based on thousands of clinical case studies from Dr. Helen Wambach, Dr. Brian Weiss and Michael Newton and the Newton Institute. People report we come after the fourth month. That's consistent throughout the reporting. In the 100 subjects I've filmed, all said the same. So in this debate about what courts should or should do with women - the point is that if the Constitution guarantees life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - clearly that includes the right to healthy options about being alive. Again - no reports of conscious energy coming prior to four months exist in the research. Sorry if this offends people - or stirs them up. But more importantly, Luana and Will wanted to emphasize the idea of "standing up" or being creative, and using one's creativity to write - a play, a letter, a song - and use one's artistic abilities to change the paradigm. To use one's creative talents to create the thing that will cause the change one seeks. Be creative. Write the letter, the play, the film, the song that will bring about change. Like I said, mind bending.
Happy Monday Goons! Our next TromApril film this month is Ade's pick, Tromeo & Juliet. Loosely based on the William Shakespeare source material, Romeo & Juliet, and still follows star-crossed lovers from feuding families. This particular script was penned by none other than James Gunn, who you know from his brilliance of Marvel films like Guardians of the Galaxy, DC films like The Suicide Squad, and horror and family flicks like Slither & Scooby Doo, respectively. The film stars Will Keenan as Tromeo and not-Pam-from-The-Office, Jane Jenson as Juliet. Other faces you may recognize are Debbie Rachon as a variation of the nursemaid and Tiffany Shepis, as well as James' brother Sean Gunn as Sammy Capulet, aka Kirk of Gilmore Girls and a plethora of other characters in Gunn's films. Also, we do have cameos from Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister as the narrator and Lloyd Kaufman throws himself in, as well. Obviously this is a stark contrast to Will Shakespeare's source material, but it also encapsulates the 90s in all its seedy, grungy glory. Find out what Ade loved about this and what Jake and Mikey did not. Be sure to check out the entire episode through the end to hear what our buds, Micah and Greg of Damn! That's Scary, had to say about the film. Yes, they've teamed up with us once again to give their own two-cents on Troma!

In a sense, those of us who love historical fiction live vicariously in the past. Many of us also fantasize about traveling in time—meeting our favorite writers in the flesh, hanging around with royalty, living the aristocratic lifestyle. We tend to forget or understate the very real benefits of the present, amenities we take for granted (indoor plumbing, central heat and air conditioning, refrigeration) and intangibles such as human rights and the presumption of innocence, still implemented in patchwork fashion across the globe. Professor Jessica Randall, modern-day heroine of The Play's the Thing (TouchPoint Press, 2021), experiences this conundrum firsthand. One evening, while she is doing her best to stay focused on a dreadful amateur production of Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, she allows herself a brief escape—only to end up in an Elizabethan theater, watching an original production of the play with (as she realizes only later) the Bard himself in the role of Shylock. She stumbles out of that setting and back into her seat in the twenty-first-century auditorium, but later that evening, turned somnolent by student essays and one too many glasses of wine, Jessica finds herself trapped in what turns out to be William Shakespeare's cupboard. When he at last deigns to unlock the door, he informs her that she is the latest among hundreds of screaming Jessicas who have been making his life hell for months. Will assures Jessica that she will soon vanish into the ether and return whence she came. She's convinced it's an elaborate dream, because how could it be real? But when dawn arrives, she is still in 1598, Will is asleep on the mattress next to her, and she can hear rats rustling under the filthy straw. Perhaps it's not a dream after all. At that point, to keep herself sane on the off-chance that she can't find a way home, Jessica decides she'd better apply her knowledge of the future to clean up Shakespeare, his rooms, and her own act before those rats in the corner give them both bubonic plague. Jessica Barksdale Inclán approaches her main character's dilemma (there's a funny story in the interview about how author and character come to have the same first name) with a deliciously light touch. The dialogue sparkles, Jessica's struggles and flaws never fail to ring true, and the contrast between her unmistakably modern views and Will Shakespeare's Elizabethan take on life are simultaneously revealing and thought-provoking. If you're looking for a scientific explanation of time travel (assuming that such a thing exists), you won't find it here, but the novel is, in every respect, a fun read. It will stay with you long after you reach the end. Jessica Barksdale Inclán's fifteenth novel,The Play's the Thing, was published by TouchPoint Press in May 2021. Her other novels include the award-winning The Burning Hour as well as Her Daughter's Eyes, The Matter of Grace, and When You Believe. Her second poetry collection, Grim Honey, came out in April 2021. C. P. Lesley is the author of 11 novels, including Legends of the Five Directions, a historical fiction series set during the childhood of Ivan the Terrible. Her latest book, Song of the Sisters, appeared in January 2021. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode, we discuss the seventy-first Best Picture Winner: “SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.”"Shakespeare in Love" follows a fictional relationship between William Shakespeare and a young woman who poses as a man in order to star in one of the writer's plays, "Romeo & Juliet." Several characters in the film are based on historical figures, and many of the characters, lines, and plot devices allude to Shakespeare's plays. Suffering from writer's block, Shakespeare is in need of a new muse, which he soon finds in the form of a beautiful female aristocrat, Viola De Lesseps. But her daring determination to act in his play puts their already forbidden relationship on even more dangerous ground. Directed by John Madden, the film stars Joseph Fiennes as Will Shakespeare, Gwyneth Paltrow as Viola De Lesseps, Geoffrey Rush as Philip Henslowe, Tom Wilkinson as Hugh Fennyman, Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth, Imelda Staunton as The Nurse, Colin Firth as Lord Wessex, Jim Carter as Ralph Bashford and Ben Affleck as Ned Alleyn.Here on The Envelope, we discuss & review every Best Picture Winner in the Academy Awards History.

From reaching IMDb’s top 500 actresses in the world after starring in HBO’s "Game of Thrones" to playing the lead in a period drama centred around World War II’s Bletchley Park, right through to her forthcoming one-woman-show in which she plays Will Shakespeare himself, Lucy is always keen to explore times past. When she’s not learning sonnets (she thinks she actually only knows one all the way through) you’ll most likely find her rambling the countryside trying to capture the perfect snaps of her little dog, Bear.Follow Lucy on Instagram: @lucy_aarden and on Twitter: @lucyaardenYou can follow your host, Devora Wilde, on Instagram: @devorawildeCatch Lucy in her comedy performance of Bard In The Yard on the 4th August 2020.

Missing summer blockbusters and live outdoor Shakespeare performances? Her Majesty's Will by novelist (and actor and fight choreographer) David Blixt is your perfect substitute! It's a fun and thrilling adventure about the young pre-genius Will Shakespeare who becomes entangled in a deadly and hilarious misadventure when he accidentally uncovers an attempt to murder Queen Elizabeth herself. David talks about his process and inspirations; how he's attracted to gaps and Hope & Crosby shenanigans; some deceptive cover art; the difficulty of writing a funny novel when the world is in such an unfunny place; how it all comes from research; how he finesses the facts for fictional purposes; and how truth really is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Featuring the importance of leaning into the tonal shifts; how the play plays in our current historical moment; the dangers of a record-scratch; eliminating thee’s and thou’s; acknowledging aspects of the play that may be either bugs or features; changing the first-person from plural to singular; identifying the hinge of the play; shout-outs to actors Dan Donohue (Leontes), Christiana Clark (Paulina), Gregory Linington (Antigonus), and Philip Earl Johnson (Autolycus); casting clowns; some notes for Will Shakespeare; possibly changing one’s mind about the quality of the play; different treatments of Time; and the very first question one must address when you decide to do The Winter’s Tale — how do you handle the Bear?

Bart Casey discovered the Monica Lewinsky of the Elizabethan age and turned her already incredible true story into an enthralling dual time line tale of historic intrigue and contemporary greed. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler, and today Bart talks about his passion for forgotten stories, explains why Will Shakespeare continues to fascinate movie makers, and reveals how a mystery involving three famous Romantic poets is his work in progress. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How adman Bart researched his fiction in his lunch breaksWhy Shakespeare's life fascinates himHow sexual predation hasn't changed over the centuriesWhy he values historical accuracy in his workWhen facts are stranger than fictionThe appeal of dual timeline tales Where to find Bart Casey: Website: http://www.bartcasey.com/index.htm Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bart.casey Twitter: @bibliomad Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/bart_casey What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. And now, here's Bart. Hello there Bart and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Bart: Very happy to be here. Very exciting. Jenny: Was there a “Once Upon A Time' moment when you decided you must write fiction or you would have somehow let yourself down, or not completed something you were meant to do? And if so, what was the catalyst for it Bart Casey - historical mysteries Bart: Well it was actually more than just fiction, because it was about stories- coming across stories - especially in college and graduate school. They just seemingly needed to be told, things that I didn't think people would know about or that had been forgotten. Those stories then became the motivation I had to start writing. Sometimes, the non fiction ones are just as good. Once you find somebody like a Laurence Oliphant, the character I wrote a book about, who seemed to be like Forrest Gump - he sort of did everything. The fiction I write has a lot of non fiction in it. Anything I put in my upcoming book about Shakespeare or the Elizabethan characters is pretty much real. So it's fiction, but it's also pretty much non fiction. But to get to your real question; it's the story. You come across a story, you think 'I don't know that, I don't think anybody else knows that-' and you really have to tell them. That's the motivation. Jenny: You seem to have real talent for finding these stories that have been forgotten or ignored - your non fiction books perfectly demonstrate that. Bart:You just have an "aha" moment when you come across some of thee wacky combinations, and you just think that's so out of the ordinary and so compelling that it writes itself. The advantage of non fiction is of course it's real, so you can tell it chronologically from the people's birth to their death and not make anything up. When you get into fiction, you have to improvise a little. But I try to always be plausible, I don't try to make up anything crazy. Shedding light on forgotten history Jenny: You've made a specialty of blending dual time lines – contemporary and Elizabethan – to shed new light on forgotten history. How did this passion first get sparked off? Bart: Sometimes I think if the historical characters like Shakespeare, or Elizabethan people you read about them in school and you see anthologies of their poetry, and they don't seem real. You don't see them as people who have a cup of coffee, they didn't have a stomach ache - they weren't real. By putting them in the same type of treatment as the modern characters we can identify personally, they come alive more because they were real people. What do we really know of Shakespeare? So in this in this story I do have sections that talk about the Elizabethans but they're always talking about their actual lives.

In this episode, we discuss the 1986 musical masterpiece, "Little Shop of Horrors," starring Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene and Vincent Gardenia, and the 2012 microbudget drama, "Much Ado About Nothing," starring Alexis Denisof and Amy Acker.Is it possible that Will Shakespeare and Joss Whedon are the same person? Think about it. Have you ever seen them together in the same place and century? I didn't think so!

One thing I've learned in life and business, (and actually in theatre too – thanks Will Shakespeare), is that there are very few new ideas under the sun. It is inevitable in 99.9% of cases that someone else has already created something similar to what you want to do and often written a book or an article about it. But often we don't check first. Even with the world at our fingertips, I know people who sit forever trying to invent the perfect wheel, when they could have looked at the wheel someone else created, learnt from it, built on it and adapted it for their needs in a fraction of the time. I'm always devouring content, I'm an avid learner and I love to find shortcuts, hacks and ways to do things better. In this show, I'm sharing some of my best literary discoveries in the hope they're useful to you too. They just might give you some food for thought, and maybe help you move forward faster. What you'll learn: Why it's important that you are comfortable with yourself and play to your strengths What you can learn from after dinner stories Different opportunities to use humour in business The power of little decisions Ways in which we are easily influenced Thanks for listening!

“The fraud of men was ever so / Since summer first was leafy” — Balthasar’s song, Much Ado About Nothing In episode six, we look at that vexing question of whether or not Will Shakespeare was a complete and utter conman. We’ll follow those who dug up rivers, cracked codes, turned to grave-robbing, or occasionally just wrote really, really long books to find the answer. We’ll hear from Mark Twain, Sigmund Freud, William Wordsworth, and learn some surprising theories as to why Queen Elizabeth I was the Virgin Queen (or was she…?). It’s a journey from the 1560s to our era and back again, and somehow I manage to bring up Golden Girls, England’s greatest treasure hunt, George W. Bush and Dame Agatha Christie! Confused? You still will be after listening, but I hope you’ll enjoy this incredibly long investigation of the madness that is the authorship question.

Will Shakespeare is summoned to a meeting with his producers. What could possibly go wrong?
I write this episode as the rain pelts the airport tarmac outside as I sit here ready to board my plane home from a weekend trip in Charlotte. Before I do that, I'd like to share a few thoughts on being authentic in our speech and living the art of truthfulness. Grab your cup of coffee and join me. And oh yeah….quick note… be careful with flying with a hand coffee grinder. You should have seen the look on the TSA employee's face when, after checking my bag, she pulls out the grinder with a quizzical look, opens it, and then smelled the delicious fresh coffee beans inside. I offered to make her a cup, but alas...she had work to do. But, I digress... -------------------- Have you ever found yourself biting your lip, holding back what you really wanted to say, but held back for one reason or another? Telling the truth and being honest in our communication can be as difficult as holding sand in our hands. Squeeze the hand too hard and it hurts. Too light and sand falls swiftly through the fingers. Like riding a rollercoaster, we're often raised to keep the limbs of truth inside the ride of life at all times to keep safe from offending family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances. What are a few examples of when I've held back from speaking what I've honestly thought? --- When a family member continues to eat foods that harm her even after being diagnosed with diabetes brought on from obesity and eating too much of these foods --- When a coworker talks badly about another at the proverbial water cooler --- When a loved one says a prejudicial slur at the holiday dinner table And these are just a few times at which I've bitten my lip. The practice of telling the truth is something that I continue to work on because so many ancient texts encourage us to speak the truth -- both to ourselves and to others -- throughout our lives. The yogic texts call this practice of truthfulness, Satya. As Patanjali put it, “To one established in truthfulness, actions and their results will be become subservient.” In the Abrahamic texts, Jesus of Nazareth said we should speak and live truthfully. In the Book of Ephesians, he is said to say, “each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” Popular culture also teaches us this as well between the lines of a movie or book, even back to good ol' Will Shakespeare. Polonius tells his son Laertes in the play Hamlet before he goes off to college: “Give thy thoughts no tongue, nor any unproportion'd thought his act.” Of course, for anyone who knows the play well, Polonius needs to listen to a bit of his own advice. So, how do we speak the truth, live honestly, and be authentic without being ostracized by those we love? (I have no desire to don a robe and live in a cave in the Himalayas and I think you'd prefer not to, as well. It's a beautiful world we live in and I intend to be an active part of it.) And to tell you the truth, as a writer I know there's tremendous value in bending the truth, at least when it comes to helping one to feel the truth. Why? Tim O' Brien, author of the brilliant metaphysical war story The Things They Carried, perhaps puts it best: “That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.”
