What Dreams May Come TNT's Will Podcast

    • TV & Film

Host Michael Wood and Creator/Executive Producer Craig Pearce discuss the real theater blaze that inspired the opening scene of the episode, and the importance of wealthy theater patrons in those days. They also provide a more detailed look at Burbage and explain why he was such a theater visionary during that time period. They talk about Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus," and how it was likely inspired by his own life and experiences as an atheist and gay man unable to live openly with his lover. And they draw parallels between the people of Elizabethan times living on the cusp of change just like today's modern society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
