This is our closing panel discussion from Middleton's Endgame, following a whole day looking at A Game at Chess and the end of Middleton's career, recorded live at The White Bear Theatre on Sunday 11th August 2024. The panel get to grips, finally, with the question of the play itself - not just the history, the scandal, the context, but the actual goddamn play.
CW: We will be discussing - quite bluntly at times - events of the play which include attempted sexual assault, dismissal of sexual assault victims, anti-catholic sentiments, ableist, racist, and fatphobic dialogue from the period, discussion of violence, and of physical injuries.
With Professor Tracey Hill, Dr Will Green, Daniel Yabut and cast member Keith Hill.
The panel was hosted by Robert Crighton
Also heard in the audience were Helen Good, Lois Potter, Roel Fox, and an exclamation by Liza Graham.
The event was produced and edited by Robert Crighton
This followed and before that Setting up the Board, which delivered an overview of Thomas Middleton in the 1620’s, the first half and second half of the play A Game at Chess, King's Gambit, which covered the aftermath of the affair, and an adaptation of the 1626 Lord Mayor's Show.
