Presbyterian Church for the Masque and Theatre Music podcast series.
Rehearsing Renaissance dance band music for masque and theatre. Clockwise from left front: Sheila Smyth, Laura Jones, John Edwards, Chris Verrette, Matt Antal, Brandon Chui.
Masque Man (and Shakespeare man) Stephen Orgel is interviewed by John Edwards. He talked Prospero's ability to whip up a masque out of nothing in The Tempest which shows the character even more powerful than King James who had to pay a lot of dancers, actors, musicians, carpenters etc. for his court masques.
Interviews even with local experts. Here’s the virtual discussion of witches in masque and theatre with VK Preston and Natalia Khomenko.
