228: Chess Pieces: Exploring A Game at Chess, part 6

<div>Chess Pieces: Exploring A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton<br> A planning session for our future productions of A Game at Chess by Middleton. We focus on the big scenes of the play (Act 2.1, 3.1 &amp; 5.3), where there are more speakers than an audio adaptation might like to have in a single sequence. Can we conflate characters? What do we need to explicate some of the business? And what noises do chess pieces make?<br> <br> With Eric Karoulla as White Knight, Black King; Alan Scott as Black Bishop; Elizabeth Amisu as White King, White Bishop's Pawn, Black Jesting Pawn; Rachael Nicole as White Queen, White Duke; Helen Good as Fat Bishop, White Knight's Pawn, Black Queen's Pawn; Briony Sparrow as White Queen's Pawn, Black Duke; Lynn Freitas as White Bishop, Black Queen.<br> <br> The host was Robert Crighton, who also read the Black Knight. <br> <br> Our initial First Look Exploring Session can be found on our YouTube channel - feel free to browse, like, subscribe - and all that malarky. <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLflmEwgdfKoJWOdHzBzkdJXtRR7UkydSW">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLflmEwgdfKoJWOdHzBzkdJXtRR7UkydSW</a><br> <br> The Beyond Shakespeare Podcast is supported by its patrons – become a patron and you get to choose the plays we work on next.
