Beschrijving

Sid talks with David O’Donnell, now adjunct professor at Victoria University in Wellington. While his natural modesty would prevent him for acknowledging the fact, David has perhaps been the person most responsible for the recognition and growth of native New Zealand actors, playwrights, and composers. Himself a fine actor and director, he has staged some twenty productions of New Zealand plays. He was also the editor of the Playmarket New Zealand PlaySeries from 2010 to 2023, and was honored with the Mayoral Award for Significant Contribution to the Theatre. David is especially concerned with marginalized artists and has encouraged and staged the works of the Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand (Aotearoa).

EP9 - Susan Cerasano

Sid talks with Susan Cerasano, the Edgar W. B. Fairchild Professor of Literature at Colgate University. Now, when Susan “talks” about Shakespeare, or Marlowe--for that matter, the words flow from her like some joyous, fast-moving stream, eager to flood its banks. Wonderfully perceptive parallels are made, insights into the characters rooted in Susan's love of the script. Little wonder that she is so popular with students and her colleagues. This is only half the story. Susan is no less interested in the physical Renaissance theatre, its role in the social and political life of the community, as in a piece she contributed to my first collection of essays: "Theatre Inside and Out: Early Modern Playhouse Yards as Liminal Space." Susan’s next big project is the story of the business partnership of the actor Edward Alleyn and the theatre entrepreneur Philip Henslowe.
