From the earliest drama in English, to the closing of the theatres in 1642, there was a hell of a lot of drama produced - and a lot of it wasn't by Shakespeare. Apart from a few noble exceptions these plays are often passed over, ignored or simply unknown. This podcast presents full audio productions of the plays, fragmentary and extant, that shaped the theatrical world that shaped our dramatic history.

    Discussing: Pre-Modern Drama on the Radio

    Beyond is sponsored by The Malone Society: The permanent utility of original texts Welcome to this chat with Dr Andrea Smith, author of Sh********e on the Radio: A Century of BBC Plays, where we discuss elements of her book and dance more generally about the challenges in producing audio drama, radio drama, and adapting the early modern stage for sound. We had a lot of fun chatting, and I hope you have the same listening. (The book is rather good btw, and gives an excellent overview of the way drama was produced on BBC radio.) Dr Andrea Smith - https://www.uos.ac.uk/people/dr-andrea-smith/ After nearly thirty years in journalism, a long-held love of literature and a desire to help young people pursue their dreams led Andrea to change career and move into university teaching. Her research focuses on radio drama, specifically Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and how texts intended for the stage can be translated into an audio-only medium. She’s based at the University of Suffolk – before that she worked for two local newspapers and the BBC, as well as setting exams for the National Council for the Training of Journalists. She is an occasional contributor to programmes on BBC Radio and a passionate advocate for access to Higher Education.

Is love truly worth the risk?As royalty clashes with the nobility, all seems set to disintegrate, Edward II explores the conflict between personal desire, political duty and legacy.Alex Pearson Productions, in association with Glass Splinters, is thrilled to be bringing a fresh take on this classic tale of love, violence, and what it means to live a life under the spotlight.Alex Pearson Productions focuses on telling established stories in contemporary and intuitive ways; bringing classic tales to a modern-day audience that emphasises clear story-telling and making it accessible and enjoyable for all.
