FuenteOvejuna: Of Pigs, Acorns, and Adaptations

Have you ever wondered what might be hiding between the lines of a play? This season, Writ in the Margins will be investigating dramaturgical mysteries from four early modern plays, The Witch of Edmonton, FuenteOvejuna, Convent of Pleasure, and House of Desires. Together, using various modern theories as our lenses, we will explore these old texts and share the insights we find within-- all while drawing attention to the international canon of early modern theatre. From translations to interviews, with live music and script readings, join us to discover exactly what we have Writ in the Margins.This podcast was created by the graduate students enrolled in REN670: Dramaturgy in the Shakespeare and Performance program at Mary Baldwin University.
