INTERVIEW: Monica Cross Discusses Tips for Writing with Neurodivergency

Sunday, July 2, 2023 • Duration 01:17:42

Playwright Monica Cross is back, chatting about some of the tricks and tips she uses as a neurodivergent person when sitting down to write (and rewrite) her verse drama.

CONTENT WARNING: Monica and Emily do (gently) discuss the script formatting and Monica's direction of Sarah Kane's play, 4:48 Psychosis, a brilliant contemporary verse play which does deal with mental trauma and suicidality. These are mentioned only insofar as they relate to the play.

UNHINGED RANT: "Cupid and Psyche" All Grown Up and Alive - MBU Feb 2023 Virginia Premiere Production

Wednesday, March 8, 2023 • Duration 20:39

Sometimes art really does come Velveteen Rabbit-alive. In February 2023, Mary Baldwin University gave the Virginia Premiere of Emily C. A. Snyder's Cupid and Psyche. Here's Emily's reflection on what it was like to let her artistic baby go, and what it's like to see art grow up and become alive.

S3 E16: Using Poetic Imagery and Techniques in Verse Drama

Season 3 · Episode 16

Sunday, February 19, 2023 • Duration 01:56:00

We're at our Season 3 finale! Looking at how to use poetic imagery and poetic techniques to enhance your verse drama...or to ruin it. (Bless you T. S. Eliot, for showing us what not to do.) We're looking at how Shakespeare succeeds (Antony and Cleopatra) and fails (Romeo and Juliet) at using poetic imagery, as well as how T. S. Eliot uses poetic techniques well in his poetry (Four Quartets)...aaaaand not so well in his plays (The Cocktail Party). PLUS! You get to hear Emily laugh for a full minute, before attempting her version of a very posh British accent for good old Eliot's work.

Up next, we're going to be offering you various interviews from contemporary verse dramatists, before we jump into Season 4, which will look at the evolution of the history of Anglophone verse drama from the Medieval Ages through to the closing of the theatres in the 1640's. That's in conjunction with the brilliant Beyond Shakespeare Company podcast, so check them out while you're waiting for S4 to drop!

UNHINGED RANT: T. S. Eliot's "The Cocktail Party" and "Four Quartets"

Episode 12

Wednesday, February 1, 2023 • Duration 15:44

It's a new year and a new Unhinged Rant! We're returning to T. S. Eliot, looking at his poetry in The Cocktail Party vs. Four Quartets. The cool thing is Eliot always sounds like Eliot. The cooler thing is that Ralph Fiennes performed Four Quartets (a poetry cycle) on the English stage in 2021. The weird thing is that Fiennes' works...and The Cocktail Party doesn't. What's going on with poetry on-stage anyway?

UNHINGED RANTS are Patreon-only monthly exclusives. We're unlocking this one for you, dear listeners. Like what you hear? Come join us over on patreon.com/hamlettohamilton!

S3 E15: Discovering Character through Line Breaks - Part 3

Season 3 · Episode 15

Thursday, January 19, 2023 • Duration 02:37:20

We close out our exploration of creating character through line breaks by looking at Sir Gawain from The Table Round and The Siege Perilous by our own Emily C. A. Snyder. We're breaking down how a character can go from complete end-stopped thoughts, to open-ended insecurity, as well as how caesura and broken lines can define a character's arc. Strap in as we look at one character...and then tell us how you're using line endings, caesura and schwumpf in your own work!

PLEASE NOTE: Sir Gawain suffers sexual coersion and two of his speeches touch briefly on his feelings as he puzzles out what he experienced. These are flagged during the episode, so that the listener can skip if they prefer.

S3 E14: Discovering Character through Line Breaks - Part 2

Season 3 · Episode 14

Wednesday, December 7, 2022 • Duration 01:03:18

Let's look at some hyper contemporary verse to see how line endings are used in some Broadway and Off-Broadway plays. We're delving into Lucas Hnath's A Doll House, Pt. 2 and Jeremy O. Harris' Slave Play to see how enjambment and end stopped lines work when we're not in iambic pentameter.

(Note: Fear not! Although Slave Play contains difficult material, there is no content warning for this episode as the portion quoted is a neutral and not charged speech. Phew!)
