141: Spoilers: The Tragedy of Mariam (Act 1)

Spoilers: The Tragedy of Mariam by Elizabeth Cary (Act 1) Welcome to this spoiler episode for The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry by Elizabeth Cary - and it's very spoilery! It's our favourite Act, it's got so much going on, and this episode doesn't come close to covering it. We just ran out of time. With a plain text recording of the Act and chorus overview at the end. In the plain text: Gillian Horgan as Mariam, Leigh McDonald as Alexandra, Pamela Flanagan as Salome, Simon Nader as Silleus, and Heydn McCabe as Constabarus. Hosted by Robert Crighton, with Beyond Shakespeare Irregular Alan Scott looking at the Chorus. BE WARNED - If you just want to listen to the play as a play, don't listen to the spoilers episodes. Come back later, or don't listen. However, if you find early drama hard to follow, then you will get a good grounding in the action here - especially as we may make changes or cuts for our final version! The plain text version is rough in hew, it will change and we produce it in part to hunt out errors.  You can buy soooooo many editions of this play you can buy - just google them, seriously - there are also etexts and on YouTube various other looks at the play. There will be more details coming soon for all the various links on the website, but till then... For text, there are versions online - like this facsimile type thing something like this is out there https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.176700/page/n21/mode/2up If you can't wait for our production there's the video of the Royal Holloway 1995 production, directed by Elizabeth Schafer https://youtu.be/TOYsjNcG93w Other online versions can and should be searched for.  Support the podcast by going to www.patreon.com/beyondshakespeare and pledge something – or by leaving a review on itunes or whichever podcasting service you use.
