The Antipodes: Let Me Play the Director Too!

In this episode, hosts Morgan Ford and Ronan Melomo dig into the contextual underpinnings of The Antipodes through their analysis of the ways in which Brome's play dramatizes a role for the early modern stage director and also responds to the closure of the theatres in response to plague in the early modern era. How might a contemporary audience respond to this play in the wake of COVID-19? Can a play be a cure for what ails us in these disconnected times? Hosted on Acast.
