Reinventing… Juana of Castile: History and Musical Theatre Collide

Today we have a very special episode: we have the writers and co-producer of the new musical The Queen is Mad about the rise and fall of Juana of Castile, the elder sister to Katharine of Aragon and daughter to Ferdinand and Isabella, the great Catholic monarchs.To make things even more special, we have acclaimed historian Heather R Darsie on the call as well to tell us what really happened back in 16th century Europe.See the Musical:https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-queen-is-madFind the Musical:https://pineconeperformance.com/the-queen-is-mad/https://www.instagram.com/thequeenismadmusicalHear the Musical:https://open.spotify.com/album/66QRuwxkyD3lXWu9rXF49BFind Heather:https://maidensandmanuscripts.com/https://www.instagram.com/hdarsiehistoryRead Heather:https://www.amberley-books.com/katharine-of-aragon-spanish-princess.htmlhttps://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Stuart-Spouses-A-Compendium-of-Consorts-from-James-I-of-Scotland-to-Queen-Anne-of-Great-Britain-Hardback/p/51167/aid/1238https://www.amberley-books.com/anna-duchess-of-cleves-9781398103269.htmlhttps://www.amberley-books.com/children-of-the-house-of-cleves.htmlhttps://www.amberley-books.com/if-any-person-will-meddle-of-my-cause.htmlFind Baroque:https://www.ifitaintbaroquepodcast.art/https://www.reignoflondon.com/https://www.instagram.com/ifitaintbaroquepodcast/Support Baroque:https://www.patreon.com/c/Ifitaintbaroquepodcast/https://buymeacoffee.com/ifitaintbaroqueIf you would like to join Natalie on her walking tours in London with Reign of London:Saxons to Stuarts:https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/london-the-royal-british-kings-and-queens-walking-tour-t426011/Tudors to Windsors:https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/royal-london-georgian-and-windsor-monarchs-walking-tour-t481355 .For more history fodder please visit https://www.ifitaintbaroquepodcast.art/ and https://www.reignoflondon.com/ Hosted on Acast.
