Beyond Shakespeare

291: Live Stream this Sunday! (Occupation and Idleness)

16 Oct 2023

Description

Live show this Sunday! A quick reminder that we have a live streamed audio adaptation of Occupation and Idleness on Sunday 22nd October at 2.30pm We’re recording a bunch of new stuff across the day, and then in the afternoon we’re live streaming a full run of Occupation and Idleness by the Unknown, plus a bonus mini sketch, Preist the Barber. Occupation and Idleness is the first surviving true interlude play – it’s from the middle of the fifteenth century and is mostly forgotten about – but it does everything your average Tudor interlude will do, it just does it in the medieval period. It’s a three hander about education – with a cheeky school boy who just doesn’t want to do any work, being encouraged – shall we say – to study by Occupation, a hard working farmer, and Doctrine, the figure representing religion in the play. It’s a lively, nay, a tad violent a play, with an ending that isn’t surprising as to what happens – but perhaps surprising how it happens. It was, as ever, a different age. Or is it?  I will be joined on the live stream by Liza Graham and Emma Kemp, and will perform the play in full, followed by the short sketch Preist the Barber – which is… well… it’s a thing.  Live streaming as audio on YouTube via the link at 2.30pm on Sunday 22nd October 2023 - https://youtube.com/live/KqIeUPCDgbc?feature=share The Beyond Shakespeare Podcast is supported by its patrons – become a patron and you get to choose the plays we work on next.
