Sir Thomas More w/ John Moss

In the final episode of our series, Elliot sits down with John Moss, the last director on the 2022 season. John will be directing Sir Thomas More next summer, and it marks a very exciting move towards including other contemporaries in our season - Shakespeare's involvement in this play is confirmed only via one handwritten page of the script! Sir Thomas More is a fascinating play with striking relevance to our world today, and John and Elliot touch on a couple of those themes in their discussion, such as the topic of refugees.  John provides a background to the play for those who don't know about it, and he explains why it is a special and important part of Shakespeare's work. We also learn what drew him to the play in the first place, why he's excited to collaborate with his actors on this 430 year old play, and why it made him want to join the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival to direct it...

Queerness in Early Modern Drama w/ Philip Hunt

***WARNING***   The following contains some discussion of references to sexual assault within the Early Modern period and its plays - viewer discretion is advised.    In this week's episode of Exit, Pursued By A Bard, Elliot is talking to one of the founding members of the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival, Philip Hunt. Phil previously directed for the festival, performed in it, helped to run it on the original committee. He has since specialised in the Early Modern period at Oxford University postgraduate level, particularly looking at queer non-canonical texts in the period.  In this fascinating talk, Phil talks about the different attitudes towards homosexuality in the Early Modern period more broadly, before going into detail about the different spectrum of sexuality and friendship in Early Modern period and its drama. He also looks at queerness in Shakespeare and his contemporaries, the working dynamic of Boy Actors who played both men and women on the stage, cross-dressing, as well as gay humour that made it past the censor and didn't put the audience off!
