Native Gardens with Zenaida

Zenaida Rose Smith and I discuss Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias: https://www.concordtheatricals.com/p/64330/native-gardens A play about boundaries, borders, and plants... which neither of us seem to know much about. Come for the script analysis, stay for the charming childhood stories. Zenaida's recommendation is Game by Mike Bartlett: https://www.nickhernbooks.co.uk/game Support Zenaida on Instagram @Zennybruce and by supporting Book It Theater: Book-it.org Or Pork Filled Productions: Porkfilled.com Music:  If I Can't Dance It's Not My Revolution by Quantum Jazz http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Quantum_Jazz [http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Quantum_Jazz] Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/quantum-jazz Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/fLYlEfkGr1E

(Recommended by Kris Hambrick) Next month's play will be Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias [http://www.karenzacarias.com/plays/native-gardens-2/].   Find the podcast on Facebook.  [https://www.facebook.com/playspod] Music: If I Can't Dance It's Not My Revolution by Quantum Jazz http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Quantum_Jazz [http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Quantum_Jazz] Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported— CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/quantum-jazz Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/fLYlEfkGr1E

Antigone with Mario

This episode has been in my bank for a couple of months now. Mario has moved away and my show has come and gone,  but there's still some good stuff in here.  Antigone by Jean Anouilh brings back the question of what theater looks like in Nazi occupied France.  But also, What makes a story a classic? Why is this play even called Antigone? (she's clearly not the protagonist)! Find Mario's work at https://www.onlinedramaturg.com/ [https://www.onlinedramaturg.com/] We are done for a bit. Keep an eye out in the new year for some new stuff.
