The Oscar season is around the corner, and William Shakespeare is once again frequenting the red carpet, so why not look back and talk about a film that won 7 (!) Academy Awards, and is literally one of the best films of all time when it comes to the bard. I’m talking of course, about Shakespeare in Love (1998).

Joining me today is Darren Freebury-Jones, another fan of this oeuvre.

Darren has written many books about Shakespeare and his contemporaries. You may remember him from our Borrowed Feathers episode a few months ago.

In the run up to the US Premiere of the play Three Queens by Rosamund Gravelle we are chatting to the playwright as well as not one, but two Marian historians - Dr Johanna Strong and Dr Peter Stiffell. 

Three Queens is about to open at Gamut Theatre in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, USA.

The play is set on the eve of Jane Grey's execution, and the three royal ladies (one past ex Queen, one Queen Regnant, and one future Queen) find themselves at Greenwich Palace where familial connections run gamut (!) with religious strife. Mary I, Elizabeth I (as Princess) and the soon-to-be-beheaded Lady Jane Grey all meeting up. How would that go?

Today we're sorting out the historical truth about Mary I, and the future Good Queen Bess, as well as their cousin Jane.

Please welcome Ros, Jo and Peter!

Please welcome Dr Elizabeth Norton back on the show, and let's talk about the female monarchs of the ages.

Did you know the last elected female head of state is still alive? Did you know there exists a Queendom? How have the folk felt about reigning queens throughout time? What is the cost of female power to her and to her Kingdom?

Let's dig in...

Please welcome Dan E Parkes back to the podcast, the author of Titanic Legacy: The Captain, the Daughter and the Spy with Amberley Publishing. He also has a Youtube channel called Captain Titanic where he searches for the truth about this great ship.

This is the second part of our Titanic myth-busting, please turn your searchlights for the first part by scrolling up.

There's a lot of mention of the 1997 film here, with an occasional compare and contrast of facts v fiction. For more fan-girling (on Nat's side) of the film, head on over to our sister podcast Finally Got Round To... and check out the episode on this mighty motion picture, with Dan leading the historical accuracy crusade. Happy sailing!
