Fun Facts From The Dramaturgs: "Merry Wives of Windsor" 👰 Shakespeare’s only comedy set entirely in England 👰 Famous story (probably untrue) that Queen Elizabeth loved the character of Falstaff so much, she requested (demanded?) more of him - but she wanted to see Falstaff in love. 👰 Has more prose (87%) than any other play in the canon 👰 One of the few #Shakespeare plays without a clear source (meaning he mostly invented the plot himself, which was unusual. He usually adapted stories from other sources.) 👰 Frequently adapted for opera (Verdi’s ‘Falstaff’ is probably the most famous example) 👰 Printed in 1602 in quarto - full title: “A most pleasant and excellent conceited comedy of Sir John Falstaff and the merry wives of Windsor.” 👰 Catherine the Great translated "Merry Wives" into Russian, under the title “this is what it means to have buckbaskets and linen.” (She also translated "Timon") 👰 Most #Shakespearean comedies center on a young unmarried couple, often obstructed by their parents, who find a way to thwart the objections and marry at the end. In "Merry Wives," that’s the subplot (Anne and Fenton). The center of the comedy is on two married women, one of them Anne’s mother, who are specifically NOT getting together with the man attempting to woo them. Their plots are focused on humiliating him for his audacity, not skirting authority to join him. 👰 There’s also a lot of art dedicated to #Falstaff and #TheMerryWivesOfWindsor. If you want images, a quick Google search will get you several options depicting key scenes in the play. 📸 - "The Merry Wives of Windsor" - CSF 2014 @CUPresents @CUBoulder

Time to guess the clue to our next episode--a Shakespearean comedy! He does beach comedies, woods comedies, and villa comedies. Since our only coverage of a Shakespeare comedy so far was a beach one ('Twelfth Night', ep. 27), we WON'T be doing one of those.

Happy Birthday to Sir Thomas North, born on this day in 1535. (May 28, 1535 - 1604/07?) There are no known portraits of Sir Thomas North. I created this portrait of him for author Michael Blanding to utilize in promotion and lectures for his book, "North by Shakespeare." The likeness is a composite, based on physical descriptions and North family portraits. #ThomasNorth #WilliamShakespeare #Shakespeare #playwright #Bard #Elizabethan #Shakespearean #history #PlutarchsLives #TravisSimpkins #MichaelBlanding #DennisMcCarthy #NorthByShakespeare #books
'The isle is full of noises, Sounds and sweet airs that give delight, and hurt not. Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments Will hum about mine ears; and sometimes voices. That, if I had then waked after a long sleep, Will make me sleep again; and then, in dreaming, The clouds methought, would open and shew riches Ready to drop upon me; that when I waked, I cried to dream again.' Subjugated native, vengeful conspirator: in this remarkable roundel Sir Joseph Noel Paton encapsulates all the idiosyncrasies of one of Shakespeare’s most ambiguous and complex characters. Caliban, former master of the island on which The Tempest is set, is robbed of his sovereignty and enslaved to Prospero. Over the play’s course he makes violent designs against Miranda and falls under Stephano’s sway, and delivers monologues about the island with great pathos and poeticism. In this composition we find Caliban crouched on the shore. Mischievous fairies twist in the air, teasing with their pretty music: one strikes a cymbal above Caliban’s head. In torment, with shining eyes and wrought hands, Caliban can no longer distinguish between the fairies’ intoxicating song and the ‘sounds and sweet airs’ of the island. In true Shakespearean fashion, nothing - not even the island - is as it first appears. Learn more about the story behind this magical painting at the link in bio!

A performance of Macbeth with the most laughters I have ever witnessed [from an audience], and curtain call x 3. The brilliant use of sound and light was something I haven’t experienced before. (I was even a little startled by it at some point.) Not to mention the unique use of dust and body moments throughout. Plus, the whole play was actually performed in Italian. This just once again proves that there is no language barrier in art. . #shakespearean #macaoartsfestival #beyondexpectation #macbeth #macbettu

And the epic concludes✨ It’s the end of the month which means another short story and this time the conclusion of “Princes of a Fractured Empire.” A Shakespearean tragedy writ across the stars. In this final chapter, Anatole’s rage and indignation at his constant slights pushes him beyond the point of no return. With a fleet at his command he challenges his brother’s throne and plunges the empire into civil war. Does Gregor have the strength to do what must be done to hold his throne? Find out in this final part, and if you like it, why not share it with your friends? I’d love to hear your thoughts! Princes of a Fractured Empire was originally published in The Scarlett Leaf Review

We are thrilled to announce that tickets have gone on sale for our one-weekend-only costumed and staged reading for Roaring with Moll Cutpurse July 12-14. Be the first to see this wonderful new performance space, The Sterling Stage, transformed into an Elizabethan theatre and tavern for this rowdy, bawdy, swashbuckling, Shakespearean romp. Written by Kathleen Fletcher and Directed by Trace Turner, Roaring explores the life of Mary Frith, a.k.a. Moll Cutpurse, a fascinating late Elizabethan performer and actor who defied gender norms and was immortalized in The Roaring Girl by Shakespearean contemporaries. Known for being one of the first “women” on the Elizabethan stage, they were famous for their male attire, comic and musical showmanship, seedy shenanigans, and bold defiance of societal norms. This play combines plot elements from contemporary plays, historical research about Moll's life, contemporary court records, and imagination to paint a beautiful, fun, and meaningful portrait of an extraordinary individual. #shakespeare #mollcutpurse #elizabethantheatre #earlymoderntheatre #shakespearean

"Without acting, I cannot breathe." - Laurence Olivier Born on this date in 1907, Laurence Olivier was widely considered amongst the greatest - if not the absolute greatest - actors in the world during his career. Contemporary actors Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, and Lauren Bacall all thought him the best actor in the world, and critics of both the stage and screen usually agreed. Olivier received two competitive Oscars and two honorary Oscars in his career, winning both the Best Picture and Best Actor Oscars for his interpretation of "Hamlet." #LaurenceOlivier #VivienLeigh #Oscars #AcademyAwards #EveryOscarEver #BestActor #BestPicture #Hamlet #Shakespearean #ShakespeareanActor #BritishCinema #BritishFilms #BritishFilm #BritishActor #BritishActors #EnglishActor #EnglishActors #EnglishFilm #EnglishCinema #Cinema #CinemaHistory #Cinephile #Cinephiles #CinephileCommunity

𝙃𝙖𝙢𝙡𝙚𝙩 - 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙢 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙚 Play #2 in my Shakespeare reading quest. Despite Hamlet being so well known, with some legendary quotable lines "To be, or not to be" being the prime example and including various phrases coined by Shakespeare and still in general usage "Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't", "Hoist with his own petard"... I had literally no idea what the storyline of this gothic masterpiece was. To summarise, Hamlet seeks revenge and then everyone dies. Did people used to talk how Shakespeare writes? If so it must have taken some pondering to work out what people were chatting about!? . . . . #hamlet #shakespeare #shakespearean #famousquotes #latestlisten #latestaudiobook #bookishmusings #bookjournal
With the aim of instilling a profound appreciation for Shakespearean literature among the students,theatrical presentations were carried out by the students of class 10.The participants brought to life excerpts from Shakespeare's iconic plays, including “Julius Caesar”, "Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet”, “The Merchant of Venice”, “ King Lear”,"All's Well That Ends Well"and "Macbeth." The rendition of their chosen scenes from Shakespearean plays, demonstrated a profound admiration for the playwright's works.Overall,all the students got an insight into some great plays written by the ‘Bard’ and they seemed to be enthusiastic to pick up a copy of the same to read the entire story. . . . #sms #stmarks #aim #students #shakespearean #life #iconic #romeo #juliet #book #plays #works #story
🎭It's Theatre Facts Thursday! 🎭 Meet Margaret Hughes! A trailblazer on the English stage, her first steps onto the stage echoed far beyond the theater walls. Prior to Margaret's first appearance in a Shakespearean play in 1660 (40 years after Shakespeare died!), women were not allowed on the English stage! Her impact resounded in the hearts of aspiring actresses of her era, setting the stage for their dreams. Even now, Margaret’s legacy endures; her footprints on the sands of time guiding the path for generations of women in theater. #stageplay #thearts #theatrelove #theatrearts #actorsofinstagram #theatreislife #livetheatre #womenonstage #theatrehistory #theatrehistorynerds #historynerds #theatrefacts #theater #shakespeare #shakespearean #margarethughes #actresses #theatrekidsforever #theatreislife

The moment you've all been waiting for! In repertory with our production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre, we're happy to announce our second show this summer. Midsummer Madness! A Shakesperience you don't want to miss! What is Midsummer Madness you ask? In Midsummer Madness, Will Kempe’s Players will mount Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream: And they won’t know who’s who-- The cast list will come out in front of you! We will be recast each performance, live and in person, and take the stage with a new combination of characters. We will swap our scripts and speed-design our show, choosing our costumes and props in a race against the Clock Until Curtain. Much like in Elizabethan England, we will be collaborating with one another to create a piece of theater that is based in our deep love for and knowledge of the story: Without the ability to rehearse or codify our choices. The audience will be encouraged to interact at their own level of comfortability, ranging from responding to cue cards, helping us select cast members, and even possibly taking on a small role themselves! Our “Shakespearience” hopes to explore Original Practices by creating space for controlled, creative, collaborative chaos and inviting the audience to explore along with us. Have we piqued your interest? Stay tuned for more details! #WillKempesPlayers #Shakespeare #shakespearean #shakespeareanperformance #shakespeareancomedy #capitalregionny #capitalregiontheatre #summershakespeare #WKP #midsummermadness #midsummernightsdream

in today's episode, we are joined in discussion with Kelly Hunter, MBE, to discuss her work producting shakespeare for autistic audiences. we will discuss Kelly's professional journey that led her from working with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre, and on the West End to founding The Flute Theatre @flutetheatre and developing the Hunter Heartbeat Method in collaboration with autistic individuals. Kelly Hunter, MBE, began working in theatre aged 17 playing The Mistress in Evita in the West End in 1980. Since then she has been creatively engaged in theatres, performing and adapting and directing Shakespeare. Kelly has also taught and directed students across the world. Kelly is the author of Cracking Shakespeare, which serves to demystify the process of speaking Shakespeare's language, offering hands-on techniques for drama students, young actors and directors who are intimidated by rehearsing, performing and directing Shakespeare's plays, and Shakespeare's Heartbeat: Drama Games for Children with Autism. Kelly developed the Hunter Heartbeat Method, a series of sensory drama games, which allow autistic individuals to share how it feels to be alive and celebrate their identity. Autistic individuals have created this award-winning methodology across the world, working with Kelly over the last twenty years. Kelly is the artistic director of @flutetheatre, which produces award winning productions of Shakespeare and runs long term community projects for people marginalised by autism. The Flute Theatre is renowned for our innovative productions of Shakespeare including specialised shows for autistic individuals, refugees and those displaced by war.

Emblazoned across the front of the shirt, a bold and captivating quote commands attention with its timeless wisdom and poetic resonance. In elegant typography, the words stand out against the fabric, drawing the eye with their profound significance: "Nothing will come of nothing." These words, spoken by the tragic figure of King Lear in William Shakespeare's renowned play, encapsulate a universal truth that transcends time and circumstance. They speak to the immutable law of cause and effect, reminding us that action is the catalyst for change and that passivity yields nothing. The choice of font enhances the quote's visual impact, with its bold strokes and graceful curves adding a sense of gravitas and sophistication. Against the backdrop of the shirt, the quote serves as a poignant reminder of the power of intention and the necessity of taking decisive steps towards our goals. Whether worn as a statement piece or a source of inspiration, this t-shirt design invites contemplation and reflection, inviting the wearer to ponder the profound wisdom encapsulated in King Lear's words.

Near-life experience is a piece weaved from the waves of nostalgia of the desire for something I always craved. It anticipates me that a lot of people I met often talked about their near-death experiences. I cannot blame them, though, for it sounds tragic. For my part, death isn’t foreign to me anymore as I’ve always been dying since I 13. I want something new, maybe life? Something like that. #mypoem #prose #writing #spilledwords #spilledpoetry #shakespearean #poetry #originalpoem #originalpoetry #mine #mywriting #deadpoetssociety

✨For when regular sized books just aren’t gonna cut it. This massive chonk of a book is a limited edition by Midpoint Press of Shakespeares works. Filled with stunning coloured illustrations and with gilded page edges, it’s more of a bookshelf decor piece as I think it would be too awkward to read, unless you read it at the table, also I wouldn’t want to ruin it!

"For never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo" 🗡️❤️⚔️🥀 I watched this 2013 version of Romeo and Juliet for the first time today! I honestly loved it. The costumes, the sets, the delivery of Shakespeare's lines were all so lush and rich and beautiful. I teared up several times. No matter what people like to say about this play, it will forever hold a special place in my heart, since I first bought a little paperback from the scholastic catalogue in 7th grade (which still sits on my shelf). #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearean #theatre #theater #play #playwright #verona #romeoandjuliet #romeomontague #julietcapulet #wherecivilbloodmakescivilhandsunclean #theseviolentdelightshaveviolentends #starcrossedlovers #italianrenaissance #literature #britishliterature #missdaffodilsdaydreams
