In this episode, we discuss the Schaubühne Berlin's recorded productions of Hamlet and Richard III, both directed by Thomas Ostermeier and starring Lars Eidinger. The productions are in German with English subtitles, and were recently streamed on the Schaubühne's website as part of their quarantine programming. The productions are modern dress and in German, with modernized German dialogue, though the English subtitles reproduce Shakespeare's text (rather than translating the modern German back into English). We discuss Ostermeier's interpretations of the two plays, Eidinger's performances, the problematic misogyny in both, the excitement of the improvisations, the costumes, and much more. Excerpts of the productions are available on YouTube though not always with English subtitles!For detailed show notes, visit: :http://21stfolio.com/2020/04/20/ep-29-hamlet-richard-iii-schaubuhneHost: Alex Heeney, Editor-in-Chief at Seventh Row (@bwestcineaste)Guests: Noemi Berkowitz, actor, director, and contributing writer at Seventh Row (@noemiola)Mary Angela Rowe, Editor-at-Large at Seventh Row (@lapsedvictorian)Editor: Edward von AderkisFind 21st Folio online at http://21stfolio.comFollow us on Twitter @21stFolioThis podcast is a subsidiary of Seventh Row, an online publication dedicated to interdisciplinary film criticism.

Ep. 28: Groundling Theatre's Julius Caesar 1:05:02

1:05:02

In this episode, we discuss the Groundling Theatre Company's current production of Julius Caesar; the genius of Moya O'Connell, André Sills, and Michelle Giroux; and the influence of Nicholas Hytner.This production is heavily inspired by Nicholas Hytner’s 2018 production (which we discussed here) of the play, featuring similar approaches to gender-swapping characters, as well as much of the same blocking and sets. Directed by Chris Abraham, the Groundling production is in the round in a large space with high ceilings, often with the effect of it feeling like an intimate arena. Unlike Hytner’s production, this is very much Cassius’s show, and Moya O’Connell regularly steals every scene she’s in right out from under Johnstone’s Brutus. André Sills, as Casca, also shines, having been given short shrift as Coriolanus in Stratford’s Coriolanus. And Michelle Giroux, who previously played Marc Antony at Stratford in 2018, shines in a series of smaller parts, including as Brutus’s wife.Groundling is an independent off-shoot of Ontario’s Stratford Festival, featuring many of the same actors and directors that appear at Stratford; their productions are mounted during Stratford’s off-season. Last year, Groundling produced a revelatory production of Lear starring Seana McKenna.

Ep. 27: The King 1:22:55

1:22:55

In the latest attempt to adapt Shakespeare for modern audiences, Australian director David Michôd (The Rover) directs Timothée Chalamet in The King, a sort-of rewriting of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 1 & 2 and Henry V. The film is set in the original time period, but Shakespeare's language has been gutted, while his structure is preserved, in favour of modern English with the occasional "ye olde" touch. The script, written by Joel Edgerton (who stars as Falstaff) and Michôd, turns Falstaff into one of the stars of Henry V (instead of showing his death...) who goes to Agincourt with Hal. In this episode, we try to make sense of why Netflix's The King was made, who it's for, how it hews closely to some aspects of Shakespeare and veers wildly away from it, and why it made us so angry.For show notes, visit: https://21stfolio.com/2019/12/09/ep-27-the-king/‎Host: Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste)Guests: Mary Angela Rowe (@lapsedvictorian), Laura Anne Harris (@lauraanneharri1), and Caitlin Merriman (@CaitlinSnark)Editor: Edward von AderkasFollow the 21st Folio on Twitter @21stFolio, or visit our website at http://21stfolio.comFind out more about Seventh Row at seventh-row.com Hosted on Acast.

This is the second part of our discussion of the current 2018 Stratford Festival production of Coriolanus directed by Robert Lepage.

We also delve deeper into how the design choices for the production affect our interpretation of each of the characters and how they relate to each other.This production runs until October 2018.

In this episode, we discuss the Stratford Festival's current modern dress production of Coriolanus directed by Robert Lepage. Québécois director and set designer Robert Lepage makes his Stratford debut this year with a modern dress production of Coriolanus. André Sills stars as Coriolanus and Stratford Grand Dame Lucy Peacock plays Volumnia. Known for mixing film elements (through projections) with theatre, Lepage creates a series of stunning backdrops and sets to make the settings feel almost as real as if it were film. There's a lot of stage magic involved that's an impressive achievement. Part one of this episode focuses on Lepage's design for the production, the world he creates, and how he uses projections.For detailed production notes, visit: https://21stfolio.com/2018/08/17/robert-lepage-coriolanus-stratford/-----CREDITSHost: Alex Heeney, Editor-in-Chief of Seventh Row (@bwestcineaste)Guests: Mary Angela Rowe, Editor at Large of Seventh Row (@lapsedvictorian) and Craig Ruttan (@crut)Sound Recordist and Editor: Cam White (@JediDusk)Find us online at http://21stfolio.comFollow the 21st Folio on Twitter @21stFolio.

In this episode, we discuss the NTLive recording of the Bridge Theatre's 2018 production of Julius Caesar. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, the production stars Ben Whishaw as Brutus, David Morrissey as Mark Antony, Michelle Fairley as Caius Cassius, and Adjoa Andoh as Casca. The production was performed in the round, with a constantly shifting stage, and a standing audience in the stalls who also helped served as the Roman mob. We discuss the modern interpretation of the text, its gender-swapped casting (Casca, Cassius, and several others are now women), the way the production works as immersive theatre (and its limits), and more.Host: Alex Heeney, Editor-in-Chief at Seventh Row (@bwestcineaste)Guests: Noemi Berkowitz, actor, director, and contributing writer at Seventh Row (@noemiola)Mary Angela Rowe, Editor-at-Large at Seventh Row (@lapsedvictorian)Edited by: Edward von AderkisFind 21st Folio online at http://21stfolio.comFollow us on Twitter @21stFolioThis podcast is a subsidiary of Seventh Row, an online publication dedicated to interdisciplinary film criticism.

Hermia & Helena is Piñeiro’s English language debut and the fourth film in his Shakespeare cycle, which started with the short Rosalinda in 2011, based on As You Like It.Piñeiro talked eloquently about his experience reading Shakespeare in translation and translating Shakespeare into Spanish himself. He talked about why he loves the Bard’s comedies, which he likened to 1930s screwball comedies, and how these stories allow him to explore new approaches to cinema.Host and editor: Alex Heeney (@bwestcineaste).
