191: Triumph 1621: Live Recording of The Sun in Aries Recon

Triumph 1621: Reconstructing: The Sun in Aries by Thomas Middleton. This is mostly an uncut recording of the 12pm show, our first of the day, from various outdoor recording positions that have been edited together into one track. It was not an ideal day to record on - it had rained for most of the morning and, though this performance was dry, our equipment was still largely covered in plastic. A few sections have been taken from other parts of the day for technical reasons. There will be a SPOILERS episode of the podcast coming out next year, where we explicate a bit about what's going on in the original show, as the text survives to us.  Do go to our website where there are photos and links to videos about the show - or there will be very shortly.  The Sun in Aries by Thomas Middleton, performed from 12pm on Friday 29th October 2021, 400 years after the original performance in 1621 COMPANY: Crier - Aliki Chapple Thomas Middleton - Alexandra Kataigida Jason - Charlie Beer Fame - Holly Bartlett Giles The Re-edified Standard - Daniel Yabut Aries - Quinn Scott Lord Mayor Edward Barkham - Gregory Musson Music by Passamezzo, led by Tamsin Lewis with Adrian Woodward - trumpet Richard de Winter - singer Robin Jeffrey - lute Icon Bearers (silent, but you might hear the reactions to them... especially Tom) Helen Good - Guildhall Stephen Longstaffe - Westminster Elizabeth Amisu - St Paul's Angela McShane - The Standard Tom Helsby - Six Knights Personified, St Lawrence Lane STAGE TEAM: Stage Manager - Valentina Vinci Assistant Stage Manager - Liza Graham Costumes - Callum Coates and the Lion's Part Additional Sound Recording - Emma Kennedy Photography - Simon Nader Whifflers: Heydn McCabe, Rob Myson, Emma Kemp, Briony Sparrow, Pollie Hall City Chronologer - Tracey Hill Research Assistant - Kerstin Grunwald-Hope Youth Director - Sam Plumb Chaperone - Beverley Purkiss-Dean  Online Costume Design - Sarah Blake Pageant Master - Robert Crighton Thanks to The Revd George Bush, Danniella Downs, Matthew Beaumont and the City of London team, Ellena Schuster-Farrell, Claire Dumontier-Marriage, Christine Moia, ALL the people who signed up and expressed interest in the show, Eleanor Rycroft, Annaliese Connolly, Lois Potter, Perry Mills, Eric Karoulla, Rachael Nicole, Angela McShane, and Joe Fawcett for additional recording equipment.
