Über diesen Titel

From the earliest drama in English, to the closing of the theatres in 1642, there was a hell of a lot of drama produced - and a lot of it wasn't by Shakespeare. Apart from a few noble exceptions these plays are often passed over, ignored or simply unknown. This podcast presents full audio productions of the plays, fragmentary and extant, that shaped the theatrical world that shaped our dramatic history.

    And Scene! This is random scene from Fair Em, the Miller’s Daughter of Manchester by the Unknown, though recently attributed to Thomas Kyd – make of that what you will. It was recorded live at our Winter Revels season on Thursday 14th December 2023. It is a dialogue between the Miller, with his daughter Fair Em, about this cruel and unforgiving world.
    With Roel Fox as the Miller, and Emma Kemp as Fair Em.
