The Play Podcast - 023 - Footnotes Volume 2

Episode 023: Footnotes Volume 2 Host: Douglas Schatz Welcome to The Play Podcast where we explore the greatest new and classic plays. Each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We’ll discuss the play’s origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing. Footnotes Volume 2 is a selection of facts and observations culled from the library of information that we’ve compiled to accompany each of the plays in the past ten episodes. These include fascinating bits of trivia as well as more extended exploration of specific aspects of the plays. A smorgasbord of dramatic intelligence befitting of the best kind of Footnote. The plays we cover in this episode include: Death of a Salesman, Rockets and Blue Lights, The Father, Oleanna, The Duchess of Malfi, Copenhagen, The Welkin, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Glass Menagerie, and Shook.
