Chess Pieces: Exploring A Game at Chess, part 6

Episode 228,   Sep 09, 2022, 08:00 AM

Adapting A Game at Chess, one exploration at a time.

Chess Pieces: Exploring A Game at Chess by Thomas Middleton
A planning session for our future productions of A Game at Chess by Middleton. We focus on the big scenes of the play (Act 2.1, 3.1 & 5.3), where there are more speakers than an audio adaptation might like to have in a single sequence. Can we conflate characters? What do we need to explicate some of the business? And what noises do chess pieces make?

With Eric Karoulla as White Knight, Black King; Alan Scott as Black Bishop; Elizabeth Amisu as White King, White Bishop's Pawn, Black Jesting Pawn; Rachael Nicole as White Queen, White Duke; Helen Good as Fat Bishop, White Knight's Pawn, Black Queen's Pawn; Briony Sparrow as White Queen's Pawn, Black Duke; Lynn Freitas as White Bishop, Black Queen.

The host was Robert Crighton, who also read the Black Knight.
