November 8th 2023 was the 400th Anniversary of the registration of Shakespeare’s First Folio at the Stationer’s Hall in London (print-run 750 copies) and thus the birthday of one of history’s most important books, which rescued the Bard’s plays from oblivion. Thanks to the publication of the First Folio, the plays have been internationally performed and reinterpreted ever since, and are an enduring spur to the imagination for all the arts. Hot on the heels of leading the celebrations in the UK, Dominic Dromgoole, former Artistic Director of the Globe Theater in London (a reconstruction built close to the site of Shakespeare’s original Globe), joins the Festival to share his insights into ...

CLF 2023: KING Jonathan Eig with Brandon Reid
Thank you for uploading! 👏
I just joined a book club. Listening to utub book reviews can be amazing. It is a perfect way to review before you start reading a new book. I just finished, "Lesson in Chemistry" and the Utube review was delightful.
My like is for Lucy Worsley
A great writing style in which prose is like poetry. It’s certainly an eye-opening read in which the female role in the Rastafarian faith is presented. It’s also clear that practices vary from family to family and the one unifying symbol is Haile Selassie and the disdain for Babylon.
Lucy, I love history & your programs on the everyday life experiences on people in whatever period in history you are covering. Keep of the great work!
Great interview, it really helps having another accomplished historian to ask the right questions!
Extraordinary session. The balance between detailed discussion of global needs and the local needs of a small city makes the topics we talk about-climate change, government taxes, government, inquality, the good life-but often no little about, come alive in profound ways. A great learning.
I can listen to Eddie all day
❤congratulations Brandon. Great job.
Compromised by highly imbalanced recording quality, or was it just me?
I think the acoustic in the room wasn't the best either. They were still great in spite of it, though!
Why doesn't the $100M ("white" originated ) IAAM have an indoor facility for this kind of discussion? It shouldn't have been held outside in the cold. Perhaps, to make it more difficult for them to occur. African Americans need to raise another $100M to correct this and other obvious defects .
Reminds me so much of the Panafrican Congresses that occurred in England and other cities in Europe, and of my own experience discussing and writing the first panafrican book on African American history with Realites Africains in Paris, 1963.I wrote under the pseudonym P. Poyas, anassociate of Denmark Vesey. The book's still in print at Presence Africaine.
49:54 Wade in the Water The most beautiful arrangement of _Wade in the Water_ I've ever heard.💯
The concert begins at 15:22
As a citizen of Russia, listening to this professor makes me vomit. He is either an idiot or a conscious enemy of my country. /Мне как гражданину России слушать этого профессора вызывает рвоту. Он - либо идиот, либо сознательный враг моей страны/.
Smiling eyes❤. And that accent of course.
She just listened - this was all Beevor
That is the point since it is Anthonys book this is about
“Hitler and Putin “. No anarco terrorism here. Just straight .. unbiased analysis. Next let’s do Trump .
Niklas, a brace and brutally honest person, hard to imagine what he has experienced. Loved Phillippe's books, thank you.
What's the title of the first song and the composer's name?
Lift Every Voice and Sing by Michael Cooper
@@cakes97 thank you so much cakes
A wonderful discussion. I am now reading the book and it is beautiful - especially to me as a Caribbean woman.
Britain's bombings of Germany were in no way savage, the same way as Germany's atrocities in the Eastern front were not savage at all. Claiming that Russia is the most savage country on Earth in preposterous. As to the Russian casualties in WWII, one should compare military casualties (1,3 Russia: 1 Germany or 1,5 Russia: 1 Germany approximately) with military losses, not the civilian+military losses (Russia) with the military losses (germany). The Russian civilian population was just being eliminated by the Germans, as well as the Russian POWs. The latter way of comparing is pure propaganda, nothing to do with history. Bringing serfdom to the 2022 context is preposterous, too (anti-Russian bias). Also, no addressing of the methods of how Ukrainians reclute their troops.
So much talent in that room!
Why does he keep repeating the thing with the Czechs being split up in three armies. There were no Czechs in the German army. I think he is mixing up Poles with Czechs here.
No Czechs in the Russian Imperial Army either.
Wish LW would come up with more indepth documentaries...always fascinating...
Once again a great discussion on how this all happened. The Mongol's had a big influence on Russia. There was still a Khan until the early 20's when the Bolshevik's eliminated that Khanate. The Mongol's controlled most of Russia for about 200 years, and all their territories, with fear.
On Russia or on Ukraine?🤣
This interviewer is fantastic!
Of course Churchill and Nato expansion eastward instigated the wars.
Thank you for this presentation. Just out of curiosity, do we know who’s going to be reading Anthony’s audio book?
a Typical Tool.
Wow, what a brilliant academic Eddie is. He represents truth and justice with clarity and courage! Keep on keeping on good Sir!
I can listen to professor Eddie all day he is so full of knowledge humility humanity and critical thinking skills in which we all need to move forward! This was a beautiful discussion
I m about to start W&P. This conversation became very helpful. Thank you for doing that.
Congratulations !
Excellent 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This women is a fraud write your own material leave the classics alone you are no where near orwell how dare you....
Warmongering propagandists
This is a fantastic story !
Happiness is a choice and while some may think of it as an expectation.. we choose to be happy..
I think Antony Beevor goes a bit over the top in reflecting on Russian “barbarism “
Not at all. He was spot on.
His story is not the black man's story, it's the human story.
Dynamite combo of resistance and hope.
Two distinguished historians together in one format; how much better can you get!
In the summer of 1982, .....in Chelmsford Massachusetts, ..Sandra was involved in a program called "Patchwork theatre", as was I ....she played Mary Poppins in a play.
Always great, a reading of this poem. Every time something new come to you.
Unfair assessment of her majesty the Queen’s symbolism running contrary to the embodiment of a modern woman. Female is not was the Sovereign is. Nor male. Sovereign is an immovable title that irregardless of gender requires the same stabilizing hand. It’s Grace and respect. Severing the people. That is not the same as submissive. Incorrect take on HMTQ.
Yes, that was a boneheaded take, and I'm glad Brown got a chance to reply that the Queen's father also had to have a private and public self as Sovereign. Also, good leadership always has and always should involve self-sacrifice and placing others ahead of yourself. It won't be heroic if leaders of any gender ignore that and start making everything about their feelings and what they want to do. I don't see how the world could function.
@@IslandDweller1 You hit the nail on the head, regarding Leadership and sacrifice. No good leader gets by without sacrifice. Which is why our current leaders in the US have made such a mess of it.
Absolutely nailed it!@@HannahPorcella
Thank you, Lord Skidelski, for asking the question of how we transition those workers from less highly skilled sectors into the green economy. How do we expect a whole generation of marginalised young people from accessing these opportunities if they're struggling in our academic system which in itself needs a complete overhaul to move with the times, if not to stay ahead?
It's not hard to figure out MI5 & the Americans go in and destroy that little Russian dictator they should have done that 15 years ago!
lovely both the work and the reading you can feel such emotion 🖤🖤
