290: Discussing: Jack Straw with Dr Stephen Longstaffe

<div>This is a VERY belated episode. It was recorded via the telephone back in the before times - in the later end of 2019. The recording is very messy (it's been tidied up, but there are still a lot of pops and bangs and other strange issues) but it is... rather good, we hope.<br> It's a discussion of <strong>The Life and Death of Jack Straw</strong>, at the time we were finishing our full cast audio adaptation, and planning a live production (which the plague cancelled). It is released now, as we start to revive our plans to stage it again - and run low on the pre-plague audio. Increasingly, our work is all new.<br> So, enjoy this chat with Dr Stephen Longstaffe, editor of the only modern critical edition that is (sort of) still available (you might need to sell a kidney) and host Robert Crighton.<br> <br> More Jack Straw on the podcast - discussions, !Spoilers! &amp; our audio adaptation - <a href="https://audioboom.com/playlists/4629941-the-life-and-death-of-jack-straw">https://audioboom.com/playlists/4629941-the-life-and-death-of-jack-straw</a><br> And another run on the Tube-of-You - <a href="https://youtu.be/yohgz7LhDuM">https://youtu.be/yohgz7LhDuM</a><br> <br> Our patrons received an unedited version of this episode <strong>YEARS AGO!</strong> And the uncut 2 hour recording is still on the feed.<br> The Beyond Shakespeare Podcast is supported by its patrons – become a patron and you get to choose the plays we work on next.
