310: Discussing: The World and the Child with Prof. Greg Walker

Beyond Shakespeare

A chat about The World and the Child or, Mundus et Infans, with Professor Greg Walker - who you will remember many a chat about John Heywood on the pod. We're turning the clock back a little bit for a play that survives in print from 1522, but precise dating of production is less clear. Spoilers on the play are already available, and the full cast audio to follow soon.
This episode features clips from the upcoming production, featuring performances by Sarah Golding as the World, Rob Myson as Conscience, Hugh Weller-Poley as Folly and Fiona Thraille as Perseverance. A playlist of all the audio we have on The World and the Child can be heard here.
There's also an excerpt from The Chester Fall of Lucifer play with Trevor Laver as Lucifer - the full episode can be heard here.
These clips include some effects from zapsplat.com
