As Perdita prepares for the sheep shearing feast, Florizel flirts with her and vows he’ll stay with her no matter what. Perdita is less carefree, fearing the repercussions that will come if the king discovers his son has been cavorting with someone beneath his station. Perdita’s father, the Old Shepherd, arrives and tells his daughter to greet their guests, including two strangers (Polixenes and Camillo, disguised as farmers), who banter with her about the flowers she admires. Florizel and Perdita proclaim their love for each other as the guests applaud and dance. Polixenes (in disguise) questions the Old Shepherd about the young man who’s wooing his daughter as two shepherdesses, Mopsa and Dorcas, squabble over the affections of the Shepherd’s son. A servant rushes in to announce the arrival of a peddler (Autolycus), who enters with a song. He wins over the crowd with his music and exotic wares as he secretly conspires to rob everyone at the party. The servant returns to announce the arrival of a group of acrobats she calls “hairy goat men”, who enter with a cacophony of shouts and drums.

Camillo assures Leontes he’ll carry out his orders but secretly informs Polixenes of the plot against his life. Together, they flee to Polixenes’ kingdom of Bohemia. An enraged Leontes claims their flight is proof of their guilt in conspiring against his life and his crown. He orders his son, Mamillius, to be taken from Hermione’s chambers and has her imprisoned on charges of adultery and conspiracy. Hermione insists on her innocence and vows that Leontes will regret what he’s done. The King’s Lords, including the elderly Antigonus, beg Leontes to bring the Queen back. Antigonus goes so far as to stake his own daughters’ honor on Hermione’s innocence. Meanwhile, Antigonus’s wife, Paulina, goes to visit Hermione in prison, where she has just given birth to a baby girl. Paulina asks Hermione’s Lady in Waiting, Emilia, to get permission from the Queen for her to bring the newborn baby to Leontes in the hope that seeing the child will soften his heart.

Leontes implores him not to leave and prevails on his pregnant wife, Hermione, to persuade him to stay.

In Part Two of his interview, Nat Cassidy explains why the “rape room” got cut, why horror exists, why writing a script is forty-seven thousand times easier than writing a novel, why actors should celebrate the audition even if they don’t get the job, why Open Source Shakespeare is the adapters’ best friend, and why the elitism and classism of rehearsal rooms drove him from pursuing a career as a classical actor.

Friar Lodowick (Duke Vincenzo) informs Isabella that Claudio has been put to death on Angelo’s orders. He persuades her to confront Angelo and ask for justice at the city gates, where Angelo and Escalus are to meet the Duke and surrender power back to him. At the Capitol, Escalus and Angelo try to make sense of the Duke’s imminent return and his strange request that they invite the people of the city to air their grievances at the changeover of power. Alone, Angelo privately regrets his actions. The Duke returns the monk's robes to Friar Thomas, and instructs him to carry out his plan at the Town Square. There, Friar Thomas meets Mariana and Isabella. As Angelo enters with the Duke, Isabella confronts him with accusations of his wrongdoings. Lucio vouches for her, but the Duke and Angelo cast aspersions on her story. The Duke orders Isabella’s arrest for defaming Lord Angelo but is interrupted by the entrance of Friar Thomas, who promises to absolve Angelo of all guilt with the testimony of a mysterious surprise witness.

We’re changing things up a bit today and bringing you a preview of a new podcast we’re enjoying and think you will, too. Where There’s a Will: Finding Shakespeare searches for the surprising places Shakespeare shows up outside the theater. Host Barry Edelstein, artistic director at one of the country’s leading Shakespeare theaters, and co-host writer and director Em Weinstein, ask what is it about Shakespeare that’s given him a continuous afterlife in all sorts of unexpected ways? You’ll hear Shakespeare doing rehabilitative work in a maximum security prison, helping autistic children to communicate, in the mouths of U.S. presidents, and even at the center of a deadly riot in New York City. In this preview, Barry takes us into California’s Centinela State Prison for a one-of-a-kind production of Shakespeare’s English history plays performed by incarcerated individuals. Barry asks: What makes Shakespeare a force of transformation and transcendence behind bars? Hear more from Where There’s a Will at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/wtaw?sid=pop.

Isabella, Mariana and the Duke (disguised as Friar Lodowick) finalize their plans to trick Angelo. But even after the bed trick, Angelo persists in his plans to execute Claudio. Meanwhile, the Provost (Jailer) and Abhorson prepare to execute Claudio’s cellmate, the drunkard Barnardine, pressing Pompey into service as the executioner. Friar Lodowick (the Duke) convinces the Provost to send Barnardine’s head to Angelo and say it’s Claudio’s. Barnardine, however, refuses to die in drunkenness and Friar Lodowick (the Duke) refuses to force him to the chopping block. As luck would have it, another prisoner, the pirate Ragozine, dies overnight. The Provost suggests that Ragozine’s head be sent to Angelo instead of Barnardine’s.

Duke Vincenzo, disguised as Friar Lodowick, visits Claudio in jail and inspires him to perceive his fate in a new light. Isabella arrives to tell her brother that Lord Angelo has demanded her body in return for Claudio’s life. Claudio tries to persuade his sister to agree to the bargain. Isabella leaves in disgust and despair. The Duke, having overheard their conversation, stops Isabella and tells her about a woman that Angelo wronged in the past. He convinces her to return to Angelo pretending to acquiesce to his demand, provided they meet in darkness and in secret. There, the wronged woman will take Isabella’s place, and Isabella’s honor will be preserved. Isabella agrees to the plan. As soon as she leaves, Elbow arrives with Pompey in custody for pimping. Lucio follows shortly afterward and refuses to bail him out. Once they’re gone, Lucio strikes up a conversation with the disguised Duke and proceeds to cast aspersions not only on Lord Angelo but on the Duke himself, saying he's a lech and a drunk, but that he hopes he’ll be back soon so they can be rid of Angelo. As soon as he leaves, the Provost arrives with Mistress Overdone in handcuffs. Escalus has her hauled off to jail for running yet another whorehouse, then asks the Duke, who she thinks is Friar Lodowick, about his visit with Claudio. He tells her Claudio is ready to die. Escalus praises his counsel and also describes the Duke as a good man. The Duke reflects on the state of affairs as he walks to visit Mariana, the woman who Angelo abandoned. There, he introduces Mariana to Isabella, who has arranged a meeting place with Angelo. CREDITS MEASURE FOR MEASURE was translated into modern English verse by ADITI BRENNAN KAPIL.

Duke Vincentio of Vienna, overwhelmed by the affairs of State, hands over control of the city to Lord Angelo, leaving Escalus as Second in Command. A man of strict morals, Angelo immediately enforces long kept but seldom used laws governing sexual activity, leading to the arrest of a young man named Claudio for engaging in pre-marital sex with his fiance, Julieta. Claudio’s friend, Lucio, learns of the news at a strip club run by Mistress Overdone where a man named Pompey brings even more bad news: all the brothels in the city are to be torn down. Lucio visits Claudio in jail, where Claudio implores him to seek assistance from his sister, Isabella, who is about to enter the convent to become a nun. He believes Isabella may be able to persuade Angelo to spare his life. Meanwhile, Duke Vincentio goes to the Franciscan monastery and informs Friar Thomas that he intends to disguise himself as a monk in order to get a closer look at how Angelo governs.

Chaos reigns on the battlefield of Agincourt, where Pistol encounters a French soldier and spares his life in exchange for his money, thanks to the assistance of the bilingual Boy who has trailed him from England. Fortune eventually turns against France, and Dauphin, Orleans, Bourbon and Constable mourn their fate. Henry learns of the death of the Duke of York, who led the vanguard against the French army, as Fluellen and Gower lament the slaughter of the children who were left to guard their luggage, including the Boy who had accompanied Pistol. Henry is enraged by their senseless deaths, vowing to finish the fight without mercy. Finally, Montjoy arrives to give word of France’s surrender. As he celebrates with Fluellen, Henry spots Williams, the soldier he’d quarreled with while visiting his troops incognito the night before. Henry summons Williams and reveals himself as the adversary he vowed to fight. Williams is contrite, but Henry rewards his pluck and valor with a glove full of coins. At last, the tally of the dead is brought to the King, and together he and his nobles marvel at their lopsided victory.

Outside the French village of Corbie, Gower and Fluellen meet a fiery Pistol, who asks Fluellen to beg leniency from Exeter on behalf of Bardolph, who has been sentenced to death for stealing from a church. Fluellen refuses and Pistol storms off, enraged. King Henry arrives to learn that the English have kept control of a strategically valuable bridge. He also learns of the death of his old friend Bardolph, and promises that all such offenders will get the same punishment. Soon after, a French Ambassador, Montjoy, arrives to deliver a warning to King Henry from the King of France: Turn back now or die. Henry responds that he will march on, and if they try to stop him, he’ll soak the ground with French blood. Later that night, in the French camp outside Agincourt, Constable, Bourbon and Orleans tease the Dauphin about his love for his horse, and joke about him after he leaves. A messenger arrives to tell them the English are lurking very near their tents, but they shrug off the threat, confident of their strength and numbers. Only Bourbon expresses any sense of foreboding. The Chorus describes Henry visiting his soldiers at their tents and lookouts, boosting their morale. Later, as he sits with his thoughts, feeling optimistic about what lies ahead, Henry is surprised by the sudden appearance of Pistol.

King Henry’s friends from his wilder days, Bardolph, Nym and Pistol, gather at the London Boarding House of Pistol’s new bride, Nell, who had been engaged to Nym. Pistol and Nym argue and fight until they are interrupted by a young Boy who breaks the news that their great friend, Sir John Falstaff, is gravely ill and needs their help. In Southampton, Henry discovers that three of his closest friends and advisors, Lord Scroop of Masham, Richard Earl of Cambridge and Thomas Grey, Knight of Northumberland, have committed treason by conspiring against him with the King of France. He has them executed at once. Back at Nell’s Boarding House, the Hostess (Nell), Pistol, Bardolph, Nym and the Boy mourn the death of Falstaff, then depart to join King Henry’s army. King Charles the Beloved of France, meanwhile, sensing that Henry is not to be trifled with, expresses his unease over England’s imminent invasion. As his court nonchalantly watches a jousting tournament, the King of France berates his son, the Dauphin, for underestimating the power of England, and instructs his princes to arm themselves in preparation for war.

With the encouragement of his advisors, Lords Canterbury and Ely, Henry advances a dubious claim to the throne of France based on his ancestry and on a questionable interpretation of arcane land laws. The Prince of France, known as the Dauphin, responds to Henry’s claim by sending him a treasure chest full of tennis balls. Henry, furious, tells his troops and nobles to prepare for war.

We want to tell you about a podcast you'll like if you like Play On! It's a musical fiction podcast called It Makes A Sound, and it's about a daughter and a mother and the origin story of an unlikely cult sensation. Season one follows Deirdre Gardner on a quest to revive the sound of a generation off a busted cassette tape from 1992, and wake up her decrepit hometown of Rosemary Hills Golf Course Community to all that’s been forgotten. In Season two, which just launched, the town of Rosemary Hills is in foreclosure and Deirdre is struggling to care for her mother in a nursing home. It Makes a Sound stars Jacquelyn Landgraf and features Annie Golden of The Shirts, with original music by Vin Cacchione of Caged Animals and Soft Black. And cool fact: The original soundtrack album, Wim Faros: the Attic Tape, was initiated and financed entirely on Patreon by the listeners, and charted in its first week due entirely to word-of-mouth from fans.
