Public Domain Plays

The Public Domain Plays podcast: we read old plays aloud with friends and then talk about them.

Happy Halloween! Haz will be going as Bunbury this year.

August 22 is the day the cherry orchard from The Cherry Orchard is chopped down. You may mark this occasion by listening to our episodes featuring this play. Or you can just shed a single tear. Your choice.

Did they find Ernest Worthing’s grandson in there?

I swear I wrote “its” and it switched it on me.

We’ve got some great plays coming up. We’re all really excited and hope you are too!

[Public Domain Plays @PDPlaysPod]

We are rehearsing as we speak! We want to thank the middle of the forest (but not that one) for the rehearsal space!

[Public Domain Plays @PDPlaysPod]

We are rehearsing as we speak! We want to thank the cloakroom at Victoria Station for the rehearsal space.

We are rehearsing as we speak! We want to thank this cherry orchard for the rehearsal space. It’s the off year though. No cherries.

Cooking up some gay stuff for June.

Haz is working on a Teen Macbeth project so what is he listening to? Macbeth and the Macbeth talk! You should do the same!

[Public Domain Plays @PDPlaysPod]

Also to Riverside @RiversidedotFM and Libsyn @libsyn for making our podcast podcastable!

[Public Domain Plays @PDPlaysPod]

We want to give a special shoutout to some resources we use to create this podcast including Project Gutenberg @gutenberg_org, Internet Archive @internetarchive, LA Theatre Works @LATheatreWorks , Folger Shakespeare @FolgerLibrary and the bones of Oscar Wilde. Thanks!

When the podcast eventually does A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Haz will hopefully get to play a dream role: Peter Quince.

What minor characters do you absolutely adore in plays/musicals? Have you written a borderline songfic about them using a Muppet song or is that just Haz?

Haz and Laura are having a meeting and OF COURSE Haz is bringing up Twelfth Night just so someone will talk to him about it.

@river_acr @TheHazCady This was Haz’s first choice but Laura wants to wait before we repeat a playwright. But Haz is literally preparing heavily to play Olivia.

But yes, the only person in the Shakespeare canon gayer than Olivia is poor Antonio in the same play.

Haz and Laura are busy reading [SPOLIERS] as a possible June play. Do you have a favorite queer or queerish play we could look at?

[Public Domain Plays @PDPlaysPod]

Which of the playwrights we’ve covered would we want to kiss? Laura says Max Marcin is the only one she would consider and Haz is torn between giving Shakespeare an “it’s okay to be gay” smooch on the head and single-handedly bettering Oscar Wilde’s taste in men?
