Hampstead Theatre Announces Casting for Wild Honey 7 October 2016 Hampstead Theatre announces casting for Wild Honey WILD HONEY A play by Michael Frayn From the play without a name by Anton Chekhov Directed by Howard Davies with Jonathan Kent Starring Geoffrey Streatfeild Designer Rob Howell Lighting Peter Mumford Sound designer Mike Walker Composer Dominic Muldowney Casting Juliet Horsley 2 December 2016 – 14 January 2017 Press Night Thursday 8 December 7pm ‘Are you really such a terrible Don Juan? You look so handsome in the moonlight!’ Hampstead Theatre presents Michael Frayn’s Wild Honey, directed by Hampstead’s Associate Artist Howard Davies. Geoffrey Streatfeild will make his Hampstead Theatre debut in the role of Platonov. The cast also includes Bruce Alexander, Joe Bannister, Gunnar Cauthery, Simon Chandler, Kammy Darweish, Joe Evans, Matthew Flynn, Jo Herbert, Rebecca Humphries, Justine Mitchell, Adrian Richards and Sophie Rundle. This comedy of errors, drawn from Chekhov’s untitled – and posthumously discovered - early play, is a tale of nineteenth century Russian life replete with classic misunderstandings, irrepressible desires and nostalgia for a vanishing world. Village schoolmaster Platonov has it all: wit, intelligence, a comfortable and respectable life in provincial Russia, and the attentions of four beautiful women - one of whom is his devoted wife… As summer arrives and the seasonal festivities commence, the rapidly intensifying heat makes everyone giddy with sunlight, vodka – and passion. Geoffrey Streatfeild plays Platonov.

  • Stoically Sapphic: Gentlemanly Encryption and Disruptive Legibility in Adapting Anne Lister
    Stoically Sapphic: Gentlemanly Encryption and Disruptive Legibility in Adapting Anne Lister Sarah E. Maier and Rachel M. Friars (University of New Brunswick, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada & Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada) Abstract: Anne Lister (1791–1840) was a multihyphenate landowner-gentry-traveller-autodidact- queer-lesbian, a compulsive journal writer who lived through the late-Romantic and well into the Victorian ages. While her journals have proven to be an iconographic artefact for queer and lesbian history, our interest here is in the public adaptations of Lister’s intentionally private writings for twenty-first-century audiences as found in the film The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) and the television series Gentleman Jack (2019–). Our discussion queries what it means to portray lived queer experience of the nineteenth century, how multimedia translate and transcribe Lister’s works onto screen, as well as how questions of legibility, visibility and ethics inevitably emerge in these processes. Keywords: adaptation, encryption, Gentleman Jack, journals, lesbianism, Anne Lister, queer history, queer visibility, The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister, transcription. ***** Lister ought to tell her own story before anyone interpreted it for her. Hers is, after all, the truly authentic voice of the nineteenth century woman caught up in a dilemma not of her own making. She ought to be allowed to tell it as it was, from her own point of view. (Whitbread 1992: xii) The recent appearance of a woman given the nickname ‘Gentleman Jack’ in a show focused on a queer woman depicts a subject who writes her life into encrypted journals.

  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

CHAPTER 13 Happy Valley: Compassion, evil and exploitation in an ordinary ‘trouble town’ Helen Piper There can be few topics more vexed and contradictory than that of class, not least for the scholar of contemporary television. After many years in the wilderness when, so the historian David Cannadine punned, it was very much a matter of ‘class dismissed’ from national political and historical discourse (1998: 8), it is now finally back on the agenda, although variously configured in different disciplines.

A Neal Street Co-Production with Carnival / NBC Universal and Thirteen for BBC STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 3 MAY 2016 Synopses Henry VI Part I Henry V is dead, and against the backdrop of Wars in France the English nobles are beginning to quarrel. News of defeat at Orleans reaches the Duke of Gloucester, the Lord Protector, and other nobles in England. Henry VI, still an infant, is proclaimed King. Seventeen years later the rivalries at Court have intensified; Gloucester and the Bishop of Winchester argue openly in front of the King. Rouen falls to the French but Plantagenet, recently restored as the Duke of York, Exeter and Talbot pledge to recapture the city from the Dauphin. Battle commences and the French, led by Joan of Arc, defeat the English. Valiant Talbot and his son John are killed. Warwick and Somerset arrive after the battle to join forces with the survivors and retake Rouen. Somerset woos Margaret of Anjou as a potential bride for Henry VI. Plantagenet takes Joan of Arc prisoner and she is burnt at the stake. Gloucester protests but still Margaret is introduced as Henry's queen.

I am delighted to say that our events programme for 2008-09 is shaping up very well, with confirmed speakers including Heather Forsyth from the Museum of London, who will talk about the treasure found in Stuart London that is known as the ‘Cheapside Hoard’, and Peter Burke, who will discuss the rhetoric of autobiography in seventeenth-century Europe. We will finish this year’s programme of academic events with our second student conference, ‘Journeys and Encounters’, on Saturday 12 July. The range of papers is very exciting and reflects the society’s multi-disciplinary ethos: people will be speaking about topics that include the New World, plant finding journeys of English herbalists in the 1640s, pamphlet wars, and Sir Kenelm Digby’s privateering career. I would like to thank everyone who submitted a synopsis – all of them demonstrated a high level of interest in the period and theme. On the day we will be able to provide lunch for all delegates and speakers, thanks to the generosity of Julian Swann and the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, which is much appreciated.
