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

Hi, Everyone,
I’m addressing the group of us at the Zoom happy hour inspired by James Shapiro’s new book, *Shakespeare in a Divided America: What His Plays Tell Us About Our Past and Future, *but I couldn’t single our small group out, so I hope no one minds getting this email.
What can I/we do? was a question several people at the happy hour asked themselves aloud. The question reminded me of a moment in a PBS News Hour Special "Race Matters: America in Crisis,” aired in early June, that knocked me out.
Moderator Judy Woodruff, toward the end of her interview with Black filmmaker Ava DuVernay, asked what DuVernay would say to white people about what they could do. DuVernay's answer gave me, and I hope all viewers of the program, just what I hadn’t quite figured out I had been profoundly longing to hear:
*"I have a lot of white people calling and texting me, great friends of mine, people that I love dearly, asking me, what do I do? And my answer is, Educate yourself.*
*There have been white allies throughout the history of America who have gotten together and come up with muscular strategies for change. And many of them have worked. I feel like this “What do I do? What do I do?” …. really is asking for Black labor— in this moment—to help you think through what to do. **Trust me: there’s something to do, right where you are.”*
The whole segment, which includes an introduction to the program and another impressive interviewee, Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation, is about 14 minutes long and is, to my mind, a must- watch. Here’s the link: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.youtube.com_watch-3...
Thank you for letting me drop by your Sunday afternoon!
Alice
