In view of the information provided by Philippa Langley I think it is time for the reign of Henry VII to be reassessed and for historians to stop stating that Richard III is probably guilty of murdering the sons of Edward IV

Fascinating discussion! Thank you. According to my own theory (see YT @brazenzebra), CM did not die in 1593. He died in 1622 (still a Catholic convert) shortly after the Indian massacre at Jamestown. Work on the FF was started in June 1622 after news of his death reached England. CM's remains (an American Aeneas of sorts) may yet be uncovered at Jamestown. Any proof of CM's conversion? Well, run the algorithm used on the H6 plays on "The Virgin Martyr", a play incorrectly assigned to Massinger or Dekker. If it's an honest algorithm, I believe it will detect the hand of CM. Specifically, CM portrayed himself as Theophilus, the persecutor of Christians who suprisingly converted to Christianity in Act 5. The language of the play points to a date near 1594, and the language also has many similarities with both CM's work and the H6 plays. CM's true story, yet to be told and investigated, is absolutely fascinating. He met fellow-exile Caravaggio on Malta, and he hired fellow-exile Antonio Perez to translate the original Don Quixote written by CM in English (Shelton's version) into Spanish.

Thank you Super

We do know that it is a Richard friendly Bishop who presents the evidence of bigamy to the council. We do know that Henry and Elizabeth attended Sir James Tyrrel's trial which suggests they wanted to know as much as we do, who killed the Princes. We do know that right across Europe the boys were presumed dead and we do know that Richard's army largely deserted him at Bosworth. You can look at the evidence and you can look at the evidence. You can see very different things. The clincher may well be those two skeletons discovered in the tower in the reign of Charles II, right where Sir Thomas said they'd be, because we have Richard's DNA, we may well find that we have their skeletons and that would be the clincher.

This is actually the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Anyone who has been asked about sex by a child of the opposite gender knows how awkward that can be.

Thank you so much for this explanation, Erin. I first learned about this painting from you some 12 years ago, when you spoke at the Cosmos Club Shakespeare group that I co-chaired. Artistically, it captures the covert deification of the relatively uneducated Shakespeare, which seems to have begun after the Stratford Jubilee some 20 years before Romney painted this. The flute probably alludes visually to John Milton's famous reference to Shakespeare "warbling his native woodnotes wild." The OED tells us this was the first usage of "woodnotes," defined as "a natural untrained musical note or song."

If it helps to read as you go along you can go to the description then hit transcription 👍

reading the play is still another option....

This is an incredible rendition, my deepest respect to the theater staff, tech-theatre teams, and actors.

Such an interesting interview with the fantastic Eddie/Suzy Izzard. I really enjoyed listening to her talk.

Loved the porter!! Great actor

Sophomore English teacher here... Been showing this for the last 3 years when we read it... BEST production I've ever seen of the Scottish Play! Thanks for making this available!

Interestingly, a loose adaptation of Timon of Athens was written by G. Balasubramanian and it was made into a Kannada movie (A South Indian language/film industry) called 'Kasturi Nivasa'. The movie is considered a classic and is still revered by people. The interesting observation is how the ethos of 'give and don't take' is considered an innate Indian value that we kids while growing up were taught, often through the movie. Great watch. Phenomenal music. Unforgettable performance by the lead Dr. Rajkumar. I doubt you'll find it with subtitles though. But to see a Shakespeare play travel to a South Indian state, and then be made into a film by another state (both have different languages), is so endearing.

The book talks about the theory of human evolution in certain parts, the theory is that we came from plants as the drawings in the book show us, the story says that a great wizard wrote this book and...

Clearly this has been disproved. Time for an edit.

Because the Weird Sisters speak in verse, I believe that in the play's OP "heath" and "MacBeth" should rhyme. I think they should be pronounced with the long a vowel as in "hate". I Googled around but couldn't find any direct confirmation of this. On the heath, grows heather--which should be pronounced as "hey there".

This was an awesome production - I am so glad to see it again. And these comments are so off the mark it's insulting - this is a perfectly legit take on Shakespeare and these young actors are giving it all the energy this moment needs.

Just finished this book. Real good book. Interesting podcast

this is very interesting.i'm surprised I am the only person to have liked the video and commented on it.

Obscure but crucial information

miss your face. crazy to find it on youtube randomly. FIk/ from Dell

Thankyou so much I remember this video i watched in 2013. Changed everything. None of my english teachers or drama teachers taught this at school. So valuable for those left behind. Please never delete. Thanks.

The irony is that whilst the podcast opens with cliches about passive, inert, European audiences, versus animated, engaged African audiences,, come the history lesson, how the table turns. As though no African historical dynamic was any part of the story and the whole history can be summed up with uncharitability in European ideas. How I long for the day when African history will be discussed seriously sans the Marxist caricatures. Land was lost to violent struggle and the defunction of political sovereignty - not learned naivety. Whilst again, with the same purblind irony, these commentators submerged in Marxist criticism, talk about the experiences of a largely Edwardian urban elite as the "African experience". Could go on and on...

I never knew what that building was , i used to pass it when I worked in the city for years, thanks for the info

Fascinating!

Is there anyway to purchase a recorded version of the play? I live abroad but would love to see this

shirts fire

It's a hint.

Historical records do not conclusively verify Sir Thomas North as the author of a travel journal from the year 1555, I recommend to Dennis McCarthy & Jane Schlueter a recent book by Hungarian Publisher, Editor and Graphologist Pal Faklen (Budapest), entitled :„Marlowe‘s Resurrection, or a key to the Shakespeare Enigma“ (2024) There , he as a Graphologist, recommends, that the appropriate designation of the journal kept in the Lambeth Palace Library would be „Thomas North Journal of the journey to Rome in 1555, t r a n s c r I b e d. by Christopher Marlowe (aka as TRUE shakespeare)page 74 www.youtube.com/@bastianconrad2550

So proud of my lil cuzzo, doing big things. Always been talented from a child, glad he is realizing some of his dreams and goals! Auntie Denise loves you and what your doing!!!

The sisters need a record deal immediately

Saw “Othello - The Remix” last night at Stages in Houston. It blew my mind! Although I’ve loved everything I’ve seen at Stages, this is the first time I’ve ever wanted to go see it again before it closes. If you ever get a chance, GO SEE IT!!!

Shakespeare was black

Thanks for this. Much enjoyed.

See Ros Barber. It's nonsense...

Shakespeare was the first gangsta poet/ rapper. Romeo and Juliet is about gangs and violence 😎

Thank You! 🙂

This is very funny, but 'Fermat' is mispronounced throughout. It is 'Fer-Maa' with 't' silent.

I took a Shakespeare course at Cal with Steven Justice in the late 90s and he mentioned that The Winter's Tale was his favorite Shakespeare play... weird, the things one remembers.

Thank you for making this. The Walker family thanks you . Sarah Snow lineage. William Walker.
