As Heather mentioned, there is a lot to be gained from reading this list. I think this may be my first time contributing, but I'd say this is the right audience: WNYC In Collaboration with The Public Present Free Shakespeare on the Radio Production of RICHARD II Brought to you in a serialized broadcast in four parts airing on WNYC By William Shakespeare Conceived for the Radio and Directed by Saheem Ali FROM OPEN AIR TO ON THE AIR! Join WNYC and The Public Theater as we bring Free Shakespeare in the Park to the airwaves with William Shakespeare’s RICHARD II. Brought to you in a serialized radio broadcast over four nights, listen as the last of the divinely anointed monarchs descends and loses it all. When King Richard banishes his cousin Henry Bolingbroke and deprives him of his inheritance, he unwittingly creates an enemy who will ultimately force him from the throne. One of the Bard’s only dramas entirely in verse, this epic and intimate play presents the rise of the house of Lancaster through a riveting tale of lost sovereignty, political intrigue, and psychological complexity. Directed by Saheem Ali, experience this beautiful and cutting play in an exciting serialized radio format from wherever you are. “A fractured society. A man wrongfully murdered. The palpable threat of violence and revenge against a broken system. Revolution and regime change. This was Shakespeare’s backdrop for Richard II. I’m exceptionally proud of this production, recorded for public radio with a predominantly BIPOC ensemble, led by the extraordinary André Holland,” said director Saheem Ali. “It’s my hope that listening to Shakespeare’s words, broadcast in the midst of a pandemic and an uprising, will have powerful resonance in our world.” In support of the fight against racism and inequality and in recognition of the unspeakable violence against Black communities, The Public Theater and the artists of RICHARD II dedicate this production to the Black Lives Matter Movement. There are a number of organizations and communities who support Black communities on the front lines. We encourage you to make a contribution to support their efforts. Streaming on WNYC.org July 13-July 16 at 8:00PM EST RSVP for Updates PRODUCTION DETAILS. RICHARD II will be broadcast in four parts nightly from Monday, July 13 through Thursday, July 16 at 8:00 p.m. EST on WNYC 93.9 FM and AM 820 for listeners in the New York tri-state area and will stream nationwide at WNYC.org. https://publictheater.org/productions/season/1920/richard-ii/ best to all, Mary McGlynn "No exorciser harm thee! Nor no witchcraft charm thee! Ghost unlaid forbear thee! Nothing ill come near thee!" ________________________________________ From: Winedale-l <winedale-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org> on behalf of winedale-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org <winedale-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Monday, June 22, 2020 8:00 AM To: winedale-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Winedale-l Digest, Vol 105, Issue 7 Send Winedale-l mailing list submissions to winedale-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__lists.wikimedia.org_ma… or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to winedale-l-request(a)lists.wikimedia.org You can reach the person managing the list at winedale-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Winedale-l digest..."

Hundred Merry Tales
by Liz Fisher 21 Jun '20

21 Jun '20

Hello friends- I hope everyone is doing well in these crazy times. I wanted to let everyone know about a new program Shakespeare at Winedale is rolling out as part of the anniversary celebrations - "A Hundred Merry Tales (or More) of Winedale" We just announced this on our Facebook page, but I thought I'd share the info below, since I'm hoping y'all might be interested in participating. Let me know what questions you have! All the best, Liz ---------------------------------------- “...that I had my good wit out of the 'Hundred Merry Tales’ — well this was Signior Benedick that said so.” Beatrice, Much Ado About Nothing, 2.1 In his annual Camp Shakespeare email this spring, Doc wrote: "This might be a good time to take turns telling stories to one another as we travel together during this suffering, following the ten in the Decameron during the plague of 1348. Or share with one another ‘journey' stories of our own. Shakespeare’s imagination was alive during the plague years. We need to keep that spirit going and ours!” In that spirit, we are launching “A Hundred Merry Tales (or More) of Winedale.” We are inviting anyone who has a personal connection to Winedale — as a player, student, patron, local resident, employee, you name it — to contribute a short video of you telling a story of a favorite Winedale “journey” or moment. It could be about Winedale the place, or your times at Winedale as a student, really any story that has Winedale as its center or setting, since the journey out to Winedale is the beginning of a lifelong love for all of us. The invitation to tell stories has been a key theme to the reunion season this year, and we’d love to build an online “virtual Barn” where we can gather to share and hear stories of playing, working, and experiencing rich moments of life at Winedale. This is also a way of gathering stories to permanently archive them. The stories can be filmed in any way you feel would best help tell the story. We are suggesting a five-minute limit. They could be a short as 30 seconds! The stories will be posted online for everyone to enjoy. Interested? Email Liz at lfisher(a)austin.utexas.edu for instructions on how to upload your video today!

Winedale 50th Reunion Update--Adjusted Plans
by Madge Darlington 12 Jun '20

12 Jun '20

Hi all, My sincere apologies for not being in touch sooner about the 50th Reunion Plans. Let me confirm what many have expected or surmised...we will not meet in person this summer to celebrate as planned. James' Shakespeare at Winedale class will not meet in person at Winedale and Doc's & Robin's Camp Shakespeare will not be in person either. Both programs will continue with meetings and celebrations virtually and expect to move the in-person programs to next summer. A small group of us has been meeting and talking on Zoom about the 50th Reunion activities. Yes, we will have an in-person reunion in future, but for now, let's collaborate on ways to celebrate online. We want to keep the dates we'd planned, Friday, August 14 and Saturday, August 15, for the online 50th celebrations. Doc confirmed that we will be allowed to share the new Winedale Documentary "Take Pains, Be Perfect" with our community on the evening of August 14. We still hope to share some music that evening as well. People like Mary, Alice, Gayle, and Maggie, who were already making plans for the programming on Saturday, August 15 will continue to make plans for how we can celebrate that day. >From the beginning of our 50th anniversary planning, we have expressed these desires: • to include as many people as possible in the celebration, including past participants, friends, family, patrons and donors • to make time to visit and connect with one another and • to share and listen to stories about our experiences. While we are sad not to realize these desires in person this year, we are lucky that we can still reach out to one another and connect over our shared experience, our love for Winedale, our love for Shakespeare, and our love for one another. More on the virtual reunion to come.
