Beyond Shakespeare

This is a discussion with Professor Marion Wynne-Davies about the collection of plays and documents, published in 1996, Renaissance Drama by Women, which was co-edited with S.P. Cerasano. Whilst it was published a fair while ago, it was this collection that began our work on these plays, and we're probably not alone. This episode features clips from our audio adaptations of the plays in question, all of which can be heard in full on our Dramatic Women playlist. The host was Robert Crighton, and additional voices include Simon Nader as Caesar in The Tragedy of Antony, Fiona Thraille from Elizabeth I's translation, and Pamela Flanagan as Cleopatra in The Tragedy of Antony translated by Mary Sidney, as well as Salome in The Tragedy of Mariam by Elizabeth Cary.
