A very special episode, and a first for Tabling: The Podcast! We were able to get our mic into Day One of rehearsals for the upcoming world premier of 'Good King Richard', performing at the White Bear theatre in London, UK. Good King Richard runs from on Dec. 8-20 and tickets can be found here. The entire cast and crew sat around the table, upstairs above a Kenington pub, reading through and discussing this new work for an entire day. Co-director and writer, Ian Dixon-Potter, allowed us to record the discussions for Tabling, which we are now happy to share to our audience. As a new work and a contemporary interpretation of a classical figure - notarized by William Shakespeare - the discussions weaved between the plays structure, the historical facts and interpretations, as well as the ambitions and intentions of the characters. While the microphone sat in the middle of the table, the cast went through pick and prodding the text, analyzing and questioning - exactly the type of discussion which Tabling: The Podcast hopes to show to our audience!

As this was a special allowance, and the focus was on the rehearsal, the audio quality is not ideal, and we apologize for that.
