rom our Exploring workshop, where we read through the text of John Bale’s biblical play, The Temptation, for future use towards an audio/stage show. Part of a surviving trilogy of plays, though more once existed or were planned, it follows Bale’s God’s Promises – recorded variously on the podcast – and John Baptist’s Preaching – which has been Explored as well. The text can be found variously online – here is an example.

The Beyond Shakespeare Irregulars this episode are Alan Scott, Richard Fawcett and Liz Cole; the host was Robert Crighton.
UPDATE 2020 - this is a revised version where we've added the prologue and epilogue to the discussion, with Alan Scott and future Robert Crighton.
