Step into the dark and chilling world of A Yorkshire Tragedy Not So New as Lamentable and True (1619), which recounts the harrowing story of Walter Calverly. In April 1605, Calverly committed a horrific act, stabbing his wife and taking the lives of his two young sons. This recording draws from the second quarto, credited to William Shakespeare on its title page, and is based on a transcription of the 1619 quarto held at the Boston Public Library. Students from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth brought this text to life in the fall of 2013 during their English 422 seminar on Renaissance Drama Gender and Print, led by Professor Tara Lyons. Join our talented cast, featuring Michaela Cook as the Narrator and an array of voices portraying the tragic characters, as they immerse you in this somber tale of familial despair.Copyright Short Stories Kunst Schauspiel & Theater Unterhaltung & Darstellende Künste
