Exit, Pursued By A BardAuthor: Canterbury Shakespeare Festival
Exit, Pursued By A Bard is a podcast by the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival, a regional open-air theatre festival based in Kent. Our series will explore lots of exciting ideas in the production and performance of Shakespeare's plays, how modern practitioners works with 400 year old drama, and of course the Bard's words in the texts themselves. We will speak with CSF members past and present (from both on-stage and behind the scenes), and we will also be joined by other creatives in the UK who are interested in Shakespeare.

Sir Thomas More w/ John Moss
Episode 10
Tuesday, 25 May, 2021
In the final episode of our series, Elliot sits down with John Moss, the last director on the 2022 season. John will be directing Sir Thomas More next summer, and it marks a very exciting move towards including other contemporaries in our season - Shakespeare's involvement in this play is confirmed only via one handwritten page of the script! Sir Thomas More is a fascinating play with striking relevance to our world today, and John and Elliot touch on a couple of those themes in their discussion, such as the topic of refugees. John provides a background to the play for those who don't know about it, and he explains why it is a special and important part of Shakespeare's work. We also learn what drew him to the play in the first place, why he's excited to collaborate with his actors on this 430 year old play, and why it made him want to join the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival to direct it...
