The Play of the Weather by John Heywood

A Full Cast Audio Adaptation

The god Jupiter opens his doors for people to lobby for the weather that they want – his messenger Merry Report deals with the many people who come to take Jupiter up on his offer. Do you want it to be sunny, windy, rainy, cold or dull? Now's your chance to get the weather you want!

The Cast: Jupiter was played by Heydn McCabe, Merry Report by Robert Crighton, The Gentleman by Geir Madland, the Merchant by Rob Myson, the Ranger by Simon Nader, the Water Miller by Alan Scott, the Wind Miller by Richard Fawcett, the Gentlewoman by Gillian Horgan, the Launder by Nemonee Stone, and the Boy by Andy Barrett. Additional voices of the Gods were Hugh Weller-Poley and Adam Thurkettle, and members of the company. The announcer was Sarah Golding.

The Play of the Weather was produced for the Beyond Shakespeare Podcast by Robert Crighton, with additional sound effects thanks to www.freesfx.co.uk and zapsplat.com
