Playing Anne Frank - The Drama Behind The Drama
1814
Using archival material and interviews with surviving cast and crew members, Forward executive editor Adam Langer presents a story that's never been told: the backstory of "The Diary of Anne Frank," the Pulitzer Prize-winning play and Oscar-winning film, and how this iconic work shapes those involved in performing it — including high school students putting the show on today. The Diary of Anne Frank, which debuted on Broadway in 1955 and then later toured the country, was one of the most influential plays of the 20th century, and a life-changing experience for many of those who saw it. It introduced millions of Americans to the Holocaust and its victims. But what did reenacting Anne's story mean to the people who created and acted in the play or the 1959 film? How did dramatizing her life affect their lives and careers? Who were they? In seven episodes, "Playing Anne Frank" weaves together stories of art and culture and, ultimately, deep humanity.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Winter's Tale - Episode 6 - The Same Sun That Shines
1736
As Florizel proclaims his love for Perdita to all the guests at the Sheep Shearing festival (including his father and Camillo who are still in disguise), the Old Shepherd calls for their wedding to take place during the celebration. The unknown guest tries to persuade the young man to hold off until he’s told his father, or at least discussed it with him, but Florizel refuses, saying his father must not know anything about it. Enraged, Polixenes finally removes his disguise and condemns his son, Perdita and her father, threatening to disfigure Perdita and kill the Old Shepherd if either of them come near his son again, and to disown Florizel if he even mentions her name. After his father departs, Florizel insists that he will stay with Perdita. Camillo, however, sees an opportunity to bring Polixenes and Leontes back together and persuades Florizel and Perdita to flee with him back to Sicilia. As Camillo describes the plan, they come upon Autolycus celebrating his pickpocketing success and demand that he change clothes with Florizel so that he won’t be recognized on the road. Perdita agrees to go along with the plan.

1845
As Perdita prepares for the sheep shearing feast, Florizel flirts with her and vows he’ll stay with her no matter what. Perdita is less carefree, fearing the repercussions that will come if the king discovers his son has been cavorting with someone beneath his station. Perdita’s father, the Old Shepherd, arrives and tells his daughter to greet their guests, including two strangers (Polixenes and Camillo, disguised as farmers), who banter with her about the flowers she admires. Florizel and Perdita proclaim their love for each other as the guests applaud and dance. Polixenes (in disguise) questions the Old Shepherd about the young man who’s wooing his daughter as two shepherdesses, Mopsa and Dorcas, squabble over the affections of the Shepherd’s son. A servant rushes in to announce the arrival of a peddler (Autolycus), who enters with a song. He wins over the crowd with his music and exotic wares as he secretly conspires to rob everyone at the party. The servant returns to announce the arrival of a group of acrobats she calls “hairy goat men”, who enter with a cacophony of shouts and drums.

Measure For Measure - Episode 6 - Truth Is Truth
1506
Friar Lodowick (Duke Vincenzo) informs Isabella that Claudio has been put to death on Angelo’s orders. He persuades her to confront Angelo and ask for justice at the city gates, where Angelo and Escalus are to meet the Duke and surrender power back to him. At the Capitol, Escalus and Angelo try to make sense of the Duke’s imminent return and his strange request that they invite the people of the city to air their grievances at the changeover of power. Alone, Angelo privately regrets his actions. The Duke returns the monk's robes to Friar Thomas, and instructs him to carry out his plan at the Town Square. There, Friar Thomas meets Mariana and Isabella. As Angelo enters with the Duke, Isabella confronts him with accusations of his wrongdoings. Lucio vouches for her, but the Duke and Angelo cast aspersions on her story. The Duke orders Isabella’s arrest for defaming Lord Angelo but is interrupted by the entrance of Friar Thomas, who promises to absolve Angelo of all guilt with the testimony of a mysterious surprise witness.

The Bard Behind Bars: Introducing Where There’s a Will
832
We’re changing things up a bit today and bringing you a preview of a new podcast we’re enjoying and think you will, too. Where There’s a Will: Finding Shakespeare searches for the surprising places Shakespeare shows up outside the theater. Host Barry Edelstein, artistic director at one of the country’s leading Shakespeare theaters, and co-host writer and director Em Weinstein, ask what is it about Shakespeare that’s given him a continuous afterlife in all sorts of unexpected ways? You’ll hear Shakespeare doing rehabilitative work in a maximum security prison, helping autistic children to communicate, in the mouths of U.S. presidents, and even at the center of a deadly riot in New York City. In this preview, Barry takes us into California’s Centinela State Prison for a one-of-a-kind production of Shakespeare’s English history plays performed by incarcerated individuals. Barry asks: What makes Shakespeare a force of transformation and transcendence behind bars? Hear more from Where There’s a Will at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/wtaw?sid=pop.

Isabella, Mariana and the Duke (disguised as Friar Lodowick) finalize their plans to trick Angelo. But even after the bed trick, Angelo persists in his plans to execute Claudio. Meanwhile, the Provost (Jailer) and Abhorson prepare to execute Claudio’s cellmate, the drunkard Barnardine, pressing Pompey into service as the executioner. Friar Lodowick (the Duke) convinces the Provost to send Barnardine’s head to Angelo and say it’s Claudio’s. Barnardine, however, refuses to die in drunkenness and Friar Lodowick (the Duke) refuses to force him to the chopping block. As luck would have it, another prisoner, the pirate Ragozine, dies overnight. The Provost suggests that Ragozine’s head be sent to Angelo instead of Barnardine’s.

Measure For Measure - Episode 4 - Angel On The Outward Side
2543
Duke Vincenzo, disguised as Friar Lodowick, visits Claudio in jail and inspires him to perceive his fate in a new light. Isabella arrives to tell her brother that Lord Angelo has demanded her body in return for Claudio’s life. Claudio tries to persuade his sister to agree to the bargain. Isabella leaves in disgust and despair. The Duke, having overheard their conversation, stops Isabella and tells her about a woman that Angelo wronged in the past. He convinces her to return to Angelo pretending to acquiesce to his demand, provided they meet in darkness and in secret. There, the wronged woman will take Isabella’s place, and Isabella’s honor will be preserved. Isabella agrees to the plan. As soon as she leaves, Elbow arrives with Pompey in custody for pimping. Lucio follows shortly afterward and refuses to bail him out. Once they’re gone, Lucio strikes up a conversation with the disguised Duke and proceeds to cast aspersions not only on Lord Angelo but on the Duke himself, saying he's a lech and a drunk, but that he hopes he’ll be back soon so they can be rid of Angelo. As soon as he leaves, the Provost arrives with Mistress Overdone in handcuffs. Escalus has her hauled off to jail for running yet another whorehouse, then asks the Duke, who she thinks is Friar Lodowick, about his visit with Claudio. He tells her Claudio is ready to die. Escalus praises his counsel and also describes the Duke as a good man. The Duke reflects on the state of affairs as he walks to visit Mariana, the woman who Angelo abandoned. There, he introduces Mariana to Isabella, who has arranged a meeting place with Angelo. CREDITS MEASURE FOR MEASURE was translated into modern English verse by ADITI BRENNAN KAPIL.

1769
Chaos reigns on the battlefield of Agincourt, where Pistol encounters a French soldier and spares his life in exchange for his money, thanks to the assistance of the bilingual Boy who has trailed him from England. Fortune eventually turns against France, and Dauphin, Orleans, Bourbon and Constable mourn their fate. Henry learns of the death of the Duke of York, who led the vanguard against the French army, as Fluellen and Gower lament the slaughter of the children who were left to guard their luggage, including the Boy who had accompanied Pistol. Henry is enraged by their senseless deaths, vowing to finish the fight without mercy. Finally, Montjoy arrives to give word of France’s surrender. As he celebrates with Fluellen, Henry spots Williams, the soldier he’d quarreled with while visiting his troops incognito the night before. Henry summons Williams and reveals himself as the adversary he vowed to fight. Williams is contrite, but Henry rewards his pluck and valor with a glove full of coins. At last, the tally of the dead is brought to the King, and together he and his nobles marvel at their lopsided victory.

Henry V - Episode 4 - Harry LeRoy
1825
Outside the French village of Corbie, Gower and Fluellen meet a fiery Pistol, who asks Fluellen to beg leniency from Exeter on behalf of Bardolph, who has been sentenced to death for stealing from a church. Fluellen refuses and Pistol storms off, enraged. King Henry arrives to learn that the English have kept control of a strategically valuable bridge. He also learns of the death of his old friend Bardolph, and promises that all such offenders will get the same punishment. Soon after, a French Ambassador, Montjoy, arrives to deliver a warning to King Henry from the King of France: Turn back now or die. Henry responds that he will march on, and if they try to stop him, he’ll soak the ground with French blood. Later that night, in the French camp outside Agincourt, Constable, Bourbon and Orleans tease the Dauphin about his love for his horse, and joke about him after he leaves. A messenger arrives to tell them the English are lurking very near their tents, but they shrug off the threat, confident of their strength and numbers. Only Bourbon expresses any sense of foreboding. The Chorus describes Henry visiting his soldiers at their tents and lookouts, boosting their morale. Later, as he sits with his thoughts, feeling optimistic about what lies ahead, Henry is surprised by the sudden appearance of Pistol.

2146
King Henry’s friends from his wilder days, Bardolph, Nym and Pistol, gather at the London Boarding House of Pistol’s new bride, Nell, who had been engaged to Nym. Pistol and Nym argue and fight until they are interrupted by a young Boy who breaks the news that their great friend, Sir John Falstaff, is gravely ill and needs their help. In Southampton, Henry discovers that three of his closest friends and advisors, Lord Scroop of Masham, Richard Earl of Cambridge and Thomas Grey, Knight of Northumberland, have committed treason by conspiring against him with the King of France. He has them executed at once. Back at Nell’s Boarding House, the Hostess (Nell), Pistol, Bardolph, Nym and the Boy mourn the death of Falstaff, then depart to join King Henry’s army. King Charles the Beloved of France, meanwhile, sensing that Henry is not to be trifled with, expresses his unease over England’s imminent invasion. As his court nonchalantly watches a jousting tournament, the King of France berates his son, the Dauphin, for underestimating the power of England, and instructs his princes to arm themselves in preparation for war.

With the recent death of his father, King Henry IV, the young Henry V must live down his wild past and prove himself capable of ruling a restless kingdom.

Viola, still disguised, loves Orsino, but he loves Olivia.  Uncle Toby’s friend Andrew wants Olivia to love him, while her old friend Feste simply wants her to be happy again.

Introducing "It Makes A Sound"
1439
We want to tell you about a podcast you'll like if you like Play On! It's a musical fiction podcast called It Makes A Sound, and it's about a daughter and a mother and the origin story of an unlikely cult sensation. Season one follows Deirdre Gardner on a quest to revive the sound of a generation off a busted cassette tape from 1992, and wake up her decrepit hometown of Rosemary Hills Golf Course Community to all that’s been forgotten. In Season two, which just launched, the town of Rosemary Hills is in foreclosure and Deirdre is struggling to care for her mother in a nursing home. It Makes a Sound stars Jacquelyn Landgraf and features Annie Golden of The Shirts, with original music by Vin Cacchione of Caged Animals and Soft Black. And cool fact: The original soundtrack album, Wim Faros: the Attic Tape, was initiated and financed entirely on Patreon by the listeners, and charted in its first week due entirely to word-of-mouth from fans. Enjoy an episode of It Makes a Sound now, and find more episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and itmakesasound.com! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kent reunites with Cordelia at the Highland Hospital in Oakland, where with a doctor they witness King Lear’s awakening and recognition of his youngest daughter. Meanwhile, at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, Regan confesses to Edmund that she fears he is not loyal only to her, but also to her sister. Edmund tries to reassure her, but he is interrupted by Goneril and Albany, who arrive to negotiate on how to proceed with their battle plans. Once Goneril, Regan and Edmund are gone, Edgar slips in, disguised, and delivers a message to Albany to summon him upon their victory. Elsewhere, Edmund takes a moment to contemplate his future, vowing to win the battle and dispense with Albany when the time comes. Later, on Market Street in The Warfield, Edgar finds a place for Gloucester to take refuge as the battle rages. Once he learns that Lear’s forces have been defeated, he encourages his father not to lose hope and together, they flee to another refuge. In the Fillmore Auditorium in The Cow Palace, Edmund savors his victory as Lear and Cordelia comfort each other in shackles. Edmund sends them to prison and instructs an army captain to follow his command concerning their fate. Albany arrives to challenge Edmund’s authority in dealing with the prisoners, leading to an argument between Edmund, Albany, Goneril, and Regan, who becomes increasingly unwell as the scene progresses.

King Lear - Episode 7 - Ruined Masterpiece Of Nature
1728
Bathing seductively in her home, Regan uses all her powers of persuasion to delay Oswald’s delivery of a message from Goneril to Edmund (and to warn Goneril to back off of Edmund, whose heart she thinks she’s won), telling Oswald to kill Gloucester at once if he ever sees him. Meanwhile, Gloucester asks Poor Tom (Edgar) to lead him to the top of the Golden Gate Bridge, where he intends to jump to his death. Edgar tricks his father into thinking he’s at the railing of the bridge, and Gloucester, falling forward, faints on level ground. As his father wakes, Edgar takes on a new persona, convincing Gloucester that Poor Tom was a phantom and that Gloucester has miraculously survived his fall, giving him renewed faith and hope. They are interrupted by King Lear, who rides in on a rusted bicycle, railing in fits of madness and clarity at everything he encounters until he recognizes and soothes Gloucester, only to run away again when Cordelia’s soldiers spot him. Edgar leads his father from the bridge to a cable car, where Oswald, riding in the back of the cable car, sees them and tries to stab Gloucester to death. He is killed instead by Edgar, who discovers Goneril’s letter to Edmund in Oswald’s pocket. Father and son flee from the scene as the police approach.

Cornwall is gravely injured by a servant trying to defend Gloucester, who has been captured and tortured for aiding King Lear. Gloucester is blinded and cast out of his own home into Golden Gate Park, where he encounters “Poor Tom” (Edgar), who comes to his aid without revealing his true identity as Gloucester’s son. The next morning, Goneril receives Edmund in her home and allies herself with him before a bitter feud with her now estranged husband, Albany. They are interrupted by news of Cornwall’s death and Gloucester’s blinding, which drives a wedge even further between Goneril and Albany. Meanwhile, Kent confers with Lear’s gentleman in the French camp at Joaquin Miller Park in Oakland and advances plans with him to further assist the King.

1657
Edgar goes into hiding as “Poor Tom”, a beggar in Golden Gate Park. Lear arrives at Gloucester’s mansion to find his servant Caius (Kent) locked in restraints. Furious, he lashes out at Cornwall, who defends his actions, and Regan, who tells him to return to Goneril and ask her forgiveness. As Lear fumes at her, Goneril arrives in the courtyard to the open embrace of her sister. Together, they whittle away at Lear’s entourage as a storm approaches, eventually telling him to dismiss all his knights.

King Lear - Episode 3 - Here He Stood In Darkness
1755
Synopsis. The King curses Goneril for her inhospitable treatment and sends Caius (Kent) to find Regan. Back in his car with the Fool, Lear worries about his sanity and the Fool does his best to cheer him up. Later, outside Gloucester’s mansion, Edmund gets word from Curan that Cornwall and Regan will soon arrive at his father’s house, and that there is likely going to be a war between Cornwall and Albany over their territory. Edmund makes the most of the opportunity by convincing Edgar to flee from the house for his own safety, then pretends he was attacked by his brother for not going along with his plot against their father. He’s immediately embraced by Cornwall, who promises to promote him. That evening, Caius arrives at Gloucester’s mansion and gets into a fight with Regan’s servant, Oswald. Gloucester, Edmund and Cornwall break it up and question Caius, who insults the Duke and all his company with his blunt talk. In return, Cornwall and Regan order that Caius be put in restraints for the rest of the night, despite Gloucester’s objection. Once alone, Kent drops his “Caius” disguise and reads a letter he secretly received from Cordelia, in which she says she may be able to resolve the conflict in Lear’s kingdom.

King Lear - Episode 2 - Stand Up For Bastards
2201
Synopsis. In the garden outside Gloucester’s Fillmore District mansion, a furious Edmund conspires to take from his brother what he feels he deserves from his father. Having set the trap, he drives to a nightclub where he sets up his brother Edgar for a fall from grace. Elsewhere, on an ocean beach outside of Goneril’s mansion in outer-Richmond, San Francisco, Goneril instructs her servant, Oswald, to treat her father with disdain when he arrives, in the hope that it will push him to go to Regan’s house instead. Inside Goneril’s house, the exiled Kent has returned, disguised as a man-servant, Caius, in order to gain access to Lear. When the King arrives on the sundeck of the house, Kent (now Caius) greets him and wins his affection by shaming Oswald for disrespecting him. Soon after, the Fool arrives and berates Lear through thinly veiled humor for disowning Cordelia and giving his power over to his other two daughters. Finally, Goneril enters and greets her father coldly, telling him to get rid of his unruly knights and keep only the older ones who know their place. Lear defends his Knights and lashes out at Goneril, voicing his regret for shunning Cordelia.

King Lear - Episode 1 - Heave My Heart Into My Mouth
1824
Synopsis. As a large crowd of invited guests gather in the ballroom of King Lear’s home in San Francisco’s Fillmore District to hear his much-anticipated announcement regarding his plans for the future of his kingdom, the Earl of Gloucester gossips with Lear’s trusted advisor, Kent, about the King’s shaky health, which is evident in his plans to split the kingdom among his daughters and their husbands, including his unwed daughter, Cordelia, who will choose to marry either the Duke of Burgundy or the King of France this very evening. Gloucester introduces Kent to his illegitimate son, Edmund, who he describes as well-spoken, but not made of the same stuff as his legitimate son, Edgar. Their conversation is interrupted when the King enters with Cordelia and his two eldest daughters, Goneril and Regan, each accompanied by their husbands, Albany and Cornwall. In lavish fashion, Lear announces his plans to divide his kingdom equally among his three daughters, provided they try to out-do each other in a contest to say which of them loves him the most. Goneril and Regan oblige him with lofty pronouncements of devotion, for which they are rewarded with vast lands and resources. Cordelia, on the other hand, declines to participate in the contest, saying nothing but that she loves her father as a daughter should, no more nor less. In return, Lear disowns Cordelia and splits the kingdom between his two eldest daughters and their husbands. Kent tries to defend Cordelia and is exiled from the kingdom. The Duke of Burgundy abandons his suit of the now disinherited Cordelia. The King of France, however, sees Cordelia for who she is and asks for her hand in marriage, which Lear accepts, vowing never to see his daughter again. Cordelia says goodbye to her sisters and leaves with the King of France. Goneril and Regan linger afterward to marvel at their fortune, and talk privately about their need to ally themselves against their father if he tries to cling to power.
