158: Spoilers: The Tragedy of Mariam (Act 5)

<div>Spoilers: The Tragedy of Mariam by Elizabeth Cary (Act 5)<br> Welcome to this spoiler episode for The Tragedy of Mariam, the Fair Queen of Jewry by Elizabeth Cary - and it's very spoilery! The canvas has narrowed again for Act 5, as it's almost a solo turn by Herod. If it weren't for the arrival of Nuntio there would be no one else. With a plain text recording of the Act and chorus overview at the end.<br> In the plain text: Geir Madland as Herod and Richard Fawcett as Nuntio.<br> Hosted by Robert Crighton - plus Beyond Shakespeare Irregular Alan Scott looking at the Chorus.<br> BE WARNED - If you just want to listen to the play as a play, don't listen to the spoilers episodes. Come back later, or don't listen. However, if you find early drama hard to follow, then you will get a good grounding in the action here - especially as we may make changes or cuts for our final version! The plain text version is rough in hew, it will change and we produce it in part to hunt out errors. </div> <div>You can buy soooooo many editions of this play you can buy - just google them, seriously - there are also etexts and on YouTube various other looks at the play.
