That Shakespeare Life
How was Midsummer and St. John's Day Celebrated in Elizabethan England?

That Shakespeare Life

In Shakespeare's England, the middle of summer was a time of celebration. While the summer season begins at May Day, the longest day of the year, from June 23 into the 24th, was celebrated as the holiday of Midsummer, and Christianized as St. John's Eve and St. John's Day. It was the longest day of the year, and for the life of William Shakespeare, this holiday was marked with celebrations of feasting, dancing, and bonfires. Shakespeare himself immortalizes the spirit of the festivities in Twelfth Night when Olivia says "Why, this is very midsummer madness." Here today to help us unpack what Midsummer celebrations would have been like in the 16-17th century England, as well as to explain for us how seemingly heathen celebration to celebrate the summer solstice lined up with the celebration of the venerable St. John, is our guest and historian, Bill Petro.

“El daiquiri d'una nit d'estiu” és la nova visita teatralitzada que ha preparat Patrimoni Cultural amb la direcció i autoria de David Barba, d'Amargura Cultura, a l'amfiteatre dels Jardins de Santa Clotilde. La proposta pren com a punt de partida el títol de l'obra Somni d'una nit d'estiu, de William Shakespeare. “Hem fet un joc utilitzant el títol d'aquesta obra de Shakespeare. Era un motiu d'inspiració per debutar a l'amfiteatre dels jardins”, explica Barba. L'espectacle es presenta com un monòleg teatral, poètic i evocador que combina interpretació, música i cocteleria en una experiència escènica singular. A través del personatge protagonista, la proposta reivindica el daiquiri com una forma d'art efímera i ritual, establint connexions amb figures com William Shakespeare, Constantí Ribalaigua i Ernest Hemingway. “Volíem que fos una proposta teatral molt íntima i que el daiquiri fos una excusa per reflexionar sobre la vida mateixa i l'art», afegeix l’autor de la visita. La representació anirà a càrrec de l'actor Joan Pau Romaní, amb l'acompanyament musical en directe d'Agustí Bussom. “És un viatge conjunt on la música, l'espai i la narració fan un maridatge perfecte, el qual acaba amb la degustació d’un daiquiri», exposa David Barba. En concret, s’oferirà als assistents la versió clàssica de Constantí Ribalaigua, el daiquiri número 4. L'espectacle s'ha concebut en un format reduït, amb un màxim de 50 espectadors per funció, per afavorir una experiència més propera i íntima. L'autor també ha posat en valor el potencial dels Jardins de Santa Clotilde i del nou amfiteatre com a escenaris culturals. “És un escenari privilegiat«, assegura. L'estrena de la visita “El daiquiri d'una nit d'estiu” tindrà lloc aquest diumenge a les 20h, amb obertura de portes a les 19.30h. La proposta es repetirà els dies 21 de juny i 5 i 12 de juliol.

During the Cold War, hearings led by U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy soon turned into a witch hunt, as paranoia and political opportunism destroyed the careers (and lives) of actors, directors, singers, filmmakers, writers, and prominent scientists who were accused of disloyalty, subversion, and treason. But even as the accusers cited poems, plays, novels, and song lyrics to bolster their attack, literature mounted a counteroffensive, striking back at the powerful in what Marjorie Garber has termed "poetic revenge." In this episode, Jacke talks to Garber about her book A Treacherous Secret Agent: How Literature Spoke Truth to Power During the Red Scare about the long reach of authors like William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Kyd, John Donne, and others, whose works exposed the lies and hypocrisies of one of America's darkest periods. PLUS Jacke takes a look at Arthur Miller's late-in-life reflections on his own work of poetic revenge, the great anti-McCarthyist play The Crucible.

For more than a year, a seven-foot creature with glowing red eyes and folded wings terrorized Point Pleasant, West Virginia—and just weeks after the sightings stopped, the Silver Bridge collapsed and killed 46 people, leaving the town to wonder whether the Mothman had been a monster, a warning, or something far worse.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/RedEyesOfMothmanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8s2fxtFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Most everyone is familiar with the King James Bible, but did you know that King James also wrote a book on demonology during the witch hunts and trials?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November 15, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness, hosted by Darren Marlar, moves from a winged cryptid haunting a West Virginia river town to a Georgia teenager found dead inside a rolled wrestling mat, a Minnesota newlywed who vanished from a restaurant parking lot, and a king of England who wrote a manual on demons.It opens with the Mothman, first reported on November 15, 1966, when two young married couples driving past an abandoned World War II TNT plant near Point Pleasant, West Virginia, spotted a six- or seven-foot gray figure with folded wings and glowing red eyes that rose into the air and pursued their car down Highway 62 at over 100 miles per hour. That same night, contractor Newell Partridge of Salem watched his television fill with a strange pattern before his dog Bandit chased two red eyes toward the hay barn and disappeared forever, and the next day Roger Scarberry described passing a large dog's body near the city limits that was gone minutes later. Over the following year roughly 100 people, including Marcella Bennett, reported the creature alongside UFO sightings and men in black, and on December 15, 1967, the 700-foot Silver Bridge linking Point Pleasant to Ohio collapsed during rush hour and killed 46 people, cementing the belief that the Mothman had been a harbinger of the disaster.From there the episode turns to Kendrick Johnson, the 17-year-old three-sport athlete found dead on January 11, 2013, stuffed head-down inside a rolled wrestling mat in the old gym at Lowndes High School in Valdosta, Georgia. Investigators ruled the death an accidental positional asphyxia, theorizing the boy fell in reaching for a shoe, but his 19-inch shoulders could not fit through the mat's 14-inch opening, an hour of footage from all four gym cameras was missing and altered, and his organs were found removed and replaced with newspaper. A second and third autopsy revealed blunt force trauma to his neck and right chest, a fabricated confession recording sold to his family for $1,000 was exposed as a hoax by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, and the case, which once entangled FBI agent Randy Bell's sons Brandon and Brian Bell, was officially reopened on March 10, 2021.Vanishing from a restaurant parking lot is what happened next to Jerrilyn Mullins, a 28-year-old Oakdale, Minnesota, newlywed who left the dinner table at a Chi Chi's in Richfield around 9:00 p.m. on November 15, 1978, and was last seen by her husband's coworker Patrick Melbourne, who said he drove her 22 miles back to a Howard Johnson's and left her there. Her decomposed body surfaced in a Lake Elmo swamp on June 30, 1979, identified through dental records and jewelry, with two autopsies unable to determine a cause of death though her stomach contents placed her killing within an hour of leaving the restaurant. Melbourne, who carried a long record of sexual assault allegations and was later convicted of crimes against a 10-year-old girl, remained the prime suspect; husband Ron Mullins lost a 1989 wrongful-death civil suit for lack of evidence, and the Washington County case stayed unsolved when Melbourne died in 2015.The episode closes with King James VI and I, who returned from a 1589 trip to Denmark obsessed with witchcraft and published Daemonologie in 1597, the only treatise of its kind written by a reigning monarch. In its pages he catalogued the signs of demonic possession, describing superhuman strength exceeding six men, iron-hard skin that could not be pierced, and victims speaking languages they never learned, while arguing that demons inhabit the corpses of the pious and that only prayer and fasting, not Catholic ritual, could repel them. He acknowledged werewolves as men suffering an excess of melancholy rather than cursed creatures, dismissed fairies as illusions sent by the Devil, fixed the ratio of female to male witches at 20 to 1 by reasoning that women were more easily deceived as Eve had been, and produced a work that fueled the European and colonial witch hunts and shaped the weird sisters of William Shakespeare's Macbeth.

Our conversation is so natural because we both share the same creative passion to amplify and spread awareness about why the arts matter. You may know Amie because of her book "We Need Your Art" and her inspiring mission "to dismantle the limiting narrative surrounding creatives so that we may each become the Artists the world needs us to be." I especially love using her TedTalk video about the power of arts and culture in my college classroom and having my students listen to her podcast "Unpublished" (which she co-hosts with her writer husband James). Not only will you take away so much creative artistic advice from this conversation, but you'll also learn about Amie's passion for Tudor London, especially her love for William Shakespeare. This love for all things Renaissance England inspired her queer historical mystery novel "To Kill a Queen" which follows Jack, a former criminal now a detective, who is investigating an assassination attempt on Queen Elizabeth I.

She's now publishing Land, her sweeping new tale centred around an Irish map-maker working for the British army at the time of the Great Famine in Ireland in the mid-19th century. Between 1845 and 1852, at least one million people died due to starvation and disease, with a further two million people fleeing Ireland to escape the famine.The book is about colonisation and devastation, set against a backdrop of families left to die of starvation on estates owned by British aristocrats and landowners. Drawing on her own family history during that period, it's O'Farrell's most political work yet - and as she explains, its themes still resonate with the world today.

In 1290, Jews were expelled from England, only to return in 1656, three-and-a-half centuries later. William Shakespeare published his works between 1589 and 1613. Except for perhaps a smattering of crypto-Jews, 275 years prior to his birth, 40 years past his death, there was no Jewish presence in England. Dr. Stephen Greenblatt, in his introduction to the Norton Shakespeare, notes that Elizabethans were fascinated by Jews and Judaism. We are going to explore the bard's roll in this phenomenon, the inordinate number of Talmudic and Mishnaic references in his writings, along with his possible Jewish roots. More importantly, let's address the phenomenon of why a nation that never encountered a Jew was so intrigued, and what that might mean for us today.

William Shakespeare - "Makbet"

Początek XVII wieku w Anglii. Katoliccy spiskowcy podkładają trzy tony prochu w piwnicach Westminsteru w przeddzień inauguracji Parlamentu. Chcą zabić nowego króla Jakuba i powrotu starej wiary w Anglii. Plan zostaje udaremniony, spiskowcy powieszeni, przez wiele miesięcy tą sprawą żyje Londyn. Jakub I od dawna ma obsesję na punkcie walki z czarownicami, satanizmem, magią, wywoływaniem duchów. Pisze nawet na ten temat rozprawę pt. „Demonologia”. William Shakespeare ze swoją trupą przechodzi pod mecenat króla i pisze sztukę, której celem propagandowym jest piętnowanie królobójstwa i czarów, a także popularyzacja mitu założycielskiego Stuartów, których przedstawiciel właśnie połączył Anglię i Szkocję w unii personalnej. Jednak „Makbet” to nie jest historyczny ani polityczny komentarz do współczesności. Ta sztuka to jeden z najbardziej skomplikowanych psychologicznie dramatów Shakespeare'a: opowieść o zbrodni, ambicji i opętaniu dwojga małżonków zniewolonych obietnicą, która prowadzi ich do katastrofy. To studium zbrodni, w której centrum stoi dwoje kochających się ludzi, z których żadne nie jest jednoznacznie złe. To tragedia męża, który osuwa się w zbrodnię i żony, która go do niej popycha. Shakespeare zadaje pytania o naturę zła, o granice determinizmu i wolności wyboru. Ta filmowa realizacja „Makbeta” jest hołdem złożonym tekstowi dramatu. To on stanowi podstawę inscenizacji i determinuje jej formę. Widz uczestniczy w performatywnym czytaniu sztuki, aktorzy są przekazicielami myśli i poezji Szekspira, słowa – ich treść, rytm, brzmienie – tworzą fundament spektaklu. Oryginalna przestrzeń dźwiękowa buduje napięcie i nastrój, wyodrębnione ze scenicznej ciemności postaci przenoszą widza w świat Szekspirowskiego dramatu.

The Phoenix is one of the most well-known mythical creatures in the world, and holds a special place in many hearts due to its symbolism of resurrection. Dying in flame and rising from the ashes, the Phoenix is likely the world's most iconic symbol of rebirth. But many tellings miss what may be the most important part of the Phoenix myth; the dignity and honor with which it treats its past self.We follow the Phoenix from its most ancient origins in Egypt as the Bennu, the radiantly rising bird sacred to the sun god, into Greek mythology through the works of Herodotus, and into the world through diverse works including the oldest Jewish play, Coptic Christian texts, and even the works of William Shakespeare.In the millennia since its origins, the Phoenix is an enduring symbol of rebirth and resurrection, inspiring leaders in rejuvenating society, artists in reinventing culture, and all those who go through the journey of renewal, rising from the ashes of the old self.Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”Support the channel by subscribing, liking, and commenting to join the conversation!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mythosandlogos00:00 Introduction00:31 Phoenix, from the Aberdeen Bestiary00:54 Ancient Origins00:59 Marble Bust of Herodotus, Rome, Second Century01:14 Obelisk of Sesostris, Heliopolis01:24 Herodotus, Histories, Book II02:08 Pajuheru Papyrus, Egypt, Ptolemaic Period, photographed by Djehouty, licensed under Creative Commons03:00 Cultural Rebirth03:13 Chiron Teaching Achilles to Play the Lyre, Roman Fresco from Herculaneum, First Century03:41 Phoenix, from the Nuremberg Chronicle by Hartmann Schedel03:48 The Burning of Troy by Dirck Verhaert03:56 Ovid, Metamorphoses, Book XV04:29 Aeneas Saving Anchises from Burning Troy by Adam Elsheimer04:47 Queen Elizabeth I by Nicholas Hilliard05:03 20 Lepta Coin, Greece, First Hellenic Republic, photographed by Classical Numismatic Group, licensed under Creative Commons05:34 Fable of the Phoenix by Aegidius Sadeler II05:45 Phoenix Stained Glass, Saint Peter's Church, Purgstall, Austria, photographed by BSonne, licensed under Creative Commons06:22 The Reborn Soul06:33 Roman Portrait of Lactantius or Apuleius, from the Bishop's Museum, Trier06:57 Phoenix by Marcus Gheeraerts the Elder07:04 The Phoenix by Cornelis Troost07:13 Lactantius, The Phoenix07:49 Phoenix, from the Aberdeen Bestiary08:01 Panel with Phoenixes and Flowers, China, Fourteenth Century08:09 Phoenix by Henry Justice Ford08:20 Conclusion: The Human Phoenix10:34 OutroAll works of art are public domain unless stated otherwise.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 23, 2026 is: fortitude • FOR-tuh-tood • noun Fortitude is a formal word that refers to the strength of mind that enables someone to encounter danger or to bear pain or adversity with courage. Less formal words with similar meanings include grit, fiber, and pluck. // To reach the summit of the mountain requires not only great physical strength and training but the fortitude to persevere no matter the challenge. See the entry > Examples: “Managing is never a one-size-fits-all process. Personality, fortitude, and experience all matter, as does context.” — Gary Deer, The Daily Gazette (Xenia, Ohio), 28 Mar. 2026 Did you know? Fortitude comes from the Latin word fortis, meaning “strong,” and in English it has always been used primarily to describe strength of mind. For a time, the word was also used to mean “physical strength”; William Shakespeare used it that way in Henry VI, Part 1: “Coward of France! How much he wrongs his fame / Despairing of his own arm's fortitude.” But despite use by the famous bard, that meaning languished and is now considered obsolete. Even the familiar phrase “intestinal fortitude” is just a humorous way to refer to someone's courage or mental stamina, not the literal strength of their digestive system. (If you're looking to describe a mighty gastrointestinal tract, we might suggest “iron stomach.”)

This episode is sponsored by Ellydee. To sign up, go to ellydee.ai/mehdi Riz Ahmed is the man of the moment. The Oscar and Emmy award-winning actor is currently on the press tour for not one but two new projects: his TV series 'Bait', and a film adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'. But the tour wouldn't be complete without joining his former school mate and fellow school play actor Mehdi for a special LIVE taping of 'We're Not Kidding' in New York City. The two dig into Riz's new roles, the state of Muslim representation in popular culture, and making political art. They also take questions from the audience, but first they share a few choice anecdotes from their teenage years. The two also discuss: Neil Patrick Harris' recent ridiculous comments about making "apolitical" art.  Why "getting in the room" doesn't matter if you let the room change you. The lasting significance of his films 'Four Lions' and 'The Long Goodbye' given the UK far-right political scene.  And how Riz got banned… from UK grocery store Tesco's! They also take questions from the audience about why some Muslim entertainers have stayed silent on Gaza, the best ways to resist fascism, the power of political storytelling, and whether Riz's aunties call him up to chastise him about some of his.. erm… spicier on-camera scenes.

President Trump has announced that there will be a ceasefire in Lebanon where Israel has been engaged in a war with Hezbollah. The US leader said both countries had agreed that a ten day pause in fighting would begin at midnight local time. Mr Trump also said he'd be inviting the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Lebanese president, Joseph Aoun to the White House for talks. Also in the programme: As a dispute with the Vatican over the Middle East war continues, President Trump has dismissed comments by Pope Leo who'd said the world was being ravaged by tyrants; and another missing page in the life story of William Shakespeare has been found - the London home he bought three years before he died.(Photo: US President Donald Trump speaks to members of the media on the South Lawn of the White House before departing on Marine One, in Washington, DC on 16 April 2026.
