Killing Arden Prelude: Holinshed's Chronicle

Episode 255,   Mar 31, 2023, 08:00 AM

A look at the source material for Arden of Faversham by the Unknown

We're beginning a new series of explorations on the podcast, a deep dive into the play Arden of Faversham by the Unknown. This prelude to the series proper is a read through and discussion of the play's source material from Holinshed's Chronicles of England, Scotland and Ireland. You can find the source in most printed editions, and it's a fairly swift google search away (other search engines are available).
Next month Killing Arden will dive into the first scene of the play, asking the question of how to adapt the text for an audio adaptation.
There's a First Look Exploring session of the play available on our YouTube channel, with more to come later in the year - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLflmEwgdfKoKNs8EPvSfIj1dqslTdwZdi
