Hands-On History: Historical Playwriting with Rebecca Lyon

Hands-On History: Historical Playwriting with Rebecca Lyon

Historical playwrights such as William Shakespeare have been instrumental in telling the history we know today. What a fascinating occupation - one could get into deep water with Elizabeth I if she was displeased. Historical playwrights today have much more creative autonomy in the 21st century. Today, Heather Darsie is joined by historical playwright Rebecca Lyon. Learn about what it is like to use playwriting as a historical outlet.

Nov 11, 2018 at 9:19am In this special episode I welcome Sari Graham back to the show. You might recognize Sari's name from my website TudorsDynasty.com or you might recognize her voice from a previous episode about the Wars of the Roses.  Sari and I discuss the 1953 film, Young Bess. If you've never watched the movie it should be fun to hear what we thought of it - IF you have seen it I'd love to hear your feedback and see if you felt the same way the two of us did watching it. i hope you enjoy this more relaxed style of show, because it was a lot of fun to put together.    -- Written by: Rebecca Larson Voiced by: Rebecca Larson & Sari Graham Produced by: Rebecca Larson Imaging by: Troy Larson Music Credits:  Modern Jazz Samba Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
