Have you ever wondered what might be hiding between the lines of a play? Writ in the Margins investigates dramaturgical mysteries from early modern (and early modern adjacent) plays. Season 1 focused on The Witch of Edmonton, FuenteOvejuna, Convent of Pleasure, and House of Desires. In Season 2, we turn to El muerto disimulado or Presumed Dead by Ângela de Azevedo, The Antipodes by Richard Brome, The Island Princess by John Fletcher, Loa to the Divine Narcissus by Sor Juana Inés de La Cruz, and Life is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca. As we embark on Season 3, we're tackling Iphigenia at Aulis by Lady Jane Lumly, Tragedy of Mariam by Elizabeth Cary, The Phantom Lady by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, Tartuffe by Molière, and even Pericles by Shakespeare and George Wilkins. Using various modern theories as our lenses, we will explore these old texts and share the insights we find within-- all while drawing attention to the international canon of early modern theatre. From translations to interviews, with live music and script readings, join us to discover exactly what we have Writ in the Margins.
This podcast was created by the graduate students enrolled in REN670: Dramaturgy in the Shakespeare and Performance program at Mary Baldwin University. Writ in the Margins is produced in collaboration with course convener Prof. Molly Seremet.

In this episode, our hosts Aubree Gray and Grayson Fulp ford the murky streams of The Changeling's B-plot, through a deep dive into the context of mental illness, madness, and asylums in the early modern period. Through historical research, their deployment of disability studies, and a very depressing game of true or false, they ask critical and insightful questions about how to responsibly work with this challenging subplot in production today.
A note on content: This episode includes in-depth discussion of mental illness, specifically madness, in the early modern period, including details on the mistreatment of the mentally ill, violence against women, and use of loaded language.
