MON With old certainties shifting around them, in a time of MON political and religious unrest and economic expansion, Neil MON asks what the plays would have meant to the public when they MON were first performed. He uses carefully selected objects to MON explore the great issues of the day that preoccupied the MON public and helped shape the works, and he considers what MON they can reveal about the concerns and beliefs of MON Shakespearean England. MON Programme 6. EUROPE: TRIUMPHS OF THE PAST - As a tourist MON attraction in Westminster Abbey, Henry V's instruments of MON battle reflect the view of English history as depicted on MON the Elizabeth stage. MON Producer: Paul Kobrak. MON Battle Gear of Henry V MON  MON In Shakespeare’s day, there were two easy ways to learn MON about national history: you could go to the theatre and see MON England’s famous victories chronicled in performance; or you MON could head to Westminster Abbey where in amongst the royal MON tombs you could be instructed on the ‘living monuments’ of MON dead kings. MON  MON If you did either, it’s probable that one monarch’s heroic MON deeds would have stood out above all others – those of MON England’s valiant, dashing, and heroic ‘warrior king’ Henry MON V. MON  MON In the 1590s, as England headed to war with Spain 150 years MON after Henry’s death, spectacular chivalric displays at MON Westminster and performances on stage across the river, MON harked back to this powerful king who personified the MON ability to unite Englishmen against the enemy. MON  MON This object is from MON  MON  MON 'Follow your spirit, and upon this charge/Cry "God for MON Harry, England, and Saint George!"'  MON 'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers:/For he today MON that sheds his blood with me/Shall be my brother ..." '  MON Elizabethan and Renaissance expert Jonathan Bate finds out MON how 16th-century cartographers, poets, gardeners and local MON historians put the English countryside on the map. MON  MON Melvyn Bragg discusses the events leading up to the unlikely MON English defeat of the French at Agincourt in 1415, and MON explores the cultural legacy of this emblematic victory. MON  MON Explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes discusses the life of Henry V MON and tries to separate fact from myth, with the help of MON historian Juliet Barker. MON  MON Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Divine Right of Kings. MON The idea that kingly authority derives from God alone bit MON deep into the culture of 17th century Britain. MON  MON MON 14:30 Joanna Trollope - Marrying the Mistress b007tdnk (Listen) MON Episode 6 MON As judge Guy Stockdale pursues his affair with Merrion, his MON family are affected in unexpected ways.

TUE With old certainties shifting around them, in a time of TUE political and religious unrest and economic expansion, Neil TUE asks what the plays would have meant to the public when they TUE were first performed. He uses carefully selected objects to TUE explore the great issues of the day that preoccupied the TUE public and helped shape the works, and he considers what TUE they can reveal about the concerns and beliefs of TUE Shakespearean England. TUE Programme 7. IRELAND: FAILURES IN THE PRESENT - A rare TUE woodcut offers a equally rare visual impression of the TUE troubles and tragedies of Elizabethan Ireland. TUE Producer: Paul Kobrak. TUE  TUE Why is it that Shakespeare gave us a Scottish play, and TUE Scottish and Welsh characters in abundance, and yet in his TUE entire works there is only one Irish character? TUE  TUE The answer has much more to do with national politics than TUE artistic inspiration. The war in Ireland was the great TUE military crisis of the Elizabethan regime – almost resulting TUE in failure for England – and as a result it was a topic TUE prone to censorship. TUE  TUE While we can glean a lot about the issues presented by TUE Ireland from the many references in Shakespeare’s plays, TUE this book, The Image of Ireland, published in 1581, perhaps TUE allows us best to reconstruct what his audience might have TUE known and thought about the Irish. TUE And if you’re still wondering who the one Irish character TUE is, then you’ll have to listen to the programme… TUE  TUE This object is from TUE  TUE By the 16th Century, Ireland had become a problem for the TUE British. Narrated by Juliet Stevenson, with readings by Anna TUE Massey, Robert Powell and Rob Brydon. TUE  TUE  TUE Melvyn Bragg travels to Northern Ireland to investigate the TUE lot of the native Irish workers at the end of Elizabethan TUE era and the history of the Ulster Plantation.

WED Programme 8. CITY LIFE, URBAN STRIFE - The life of London's WED apprentices and Shakespeare's groundlings told through a WED rare woollen cap. WED Producer: Paul Kobrak. WED  WED Sometimes to find the joke funny, you just had to be there. WED If you who have ever found Shakespearean humour hasn’t WED managed to tickle your funny bone it could mean you’ve seen WED some particularly bad performances, or it could just be WED because you live in the 21st century, not the 16th. WED  WED Some things – etiquette, humour, fashion, language – are WED very much the product of their times. They constantly shift WED and evolve over time, and their original meaning can be WED lost. WED  WED One object that has survived the last 400 years intact is WED this woollen apprentice’s cap. Wearing a hat was compulsory WED by law, and the kind of hat you wore was your badge of WED social identity. For us, this hat unlocks the language of WED social differences and takes us closer to understanding the WED whole structure of social control. WED  WED This object is from the WED  WED 'You are they/That made the air unwholesome when you WED cast/Your stinking greasy caps in hooting/ At Coriolanus' WED exile.'  WED Justin Champion rifles through the popular murder pamphlets WED of the Elizabethan era to find out about serial killers, WED murderers and executioners. WED  WED Melvyn Bragg discusses the history of London from its WED beginnings in the late Neolithic period, to the WED international, digitalised capital city of today, examining WED its past glories and darker times.

Taking artefacts from William THU Shakespeare's time, he explores how Elizabethan and Jacobean THU playgoers made sense of the unstable and rapidly changing THU world in which they lived. THU With old certainties shifting around them, in a time of THU political and religious unrest and economic expansion, Neil THU asks what the plays would have meant to the public when they THU were first performed. He uses carefully selected objects to THU explore the great issues of the day that preoccupied the THU public and helped shape the works, and he considers what THU they can reveal about the concerns and beliefs of THU Shakespearean England. THU Programme 9. NEW SCIENCE, OLD MAGIC - Dr Dee's Mirror was THU actually a highly polished disk of black obsidian from THU Mexico but it reflects the Elizabethan fascination with the THU new sciences of cosmology and astrology. THU Producer: Paul Kobrak. THU Dr Dee's Magical Mirror THU  THU An Aztec mirror from Mexico isn’t necessarily the first THU thing that springs to mind when thinking about Shakespeare’s THU world. But this obsidian disc reveals something about THU 16th-century England and the level to which beliefs in THU ghosts and spirits still persisted. THU This mirror is said to have belonged to one of the world’s THU most famous practitioners of the occult arts, Dr John Dee, THU whose advice was sought by the rich and powerful including THU Elizabeth I herself. THU He was a kind of celebrity in his own time, a highly THU educated intellectual who explored the worlds not only of THU science and mathematics, but the workings of the occult and THU spirits too. Magic also had a starring role in many of THU Shakespeare’s plays – although making those spirits appear THU in front of the audience presented another set of THU challenges. THU  THU This object is from the THU  THU  THU 'Spirits, which by mine art/I have from their confines THU called to enact/My present fancies.'  THU Historian Justin Champion examines the life of Elizabethan THU alchemist John Dee. He follows Dee's scientific work, his THU fascination with astrology and his explorations with angels. THU  THU Melvyn Bragg discusses the creation, power and legacy of the THU Aztec Empire, arguably the most ruthless, pre-Hispanic THU empire in North America which, at its zenith, ruled over 6 THU million people. THU  THU Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Renaissance Astrology, an THU essential part of Renaissance thinking on magic, music, THU medicine, politics, cosmology, destiny and much more. THU  THU Melvyn Bragg discusses the heavenly host of Angels, so THU popular with so many believers and so problematic for THU philosophers and theologians.

FRI  FRI Although it may look like a toy, this ship model was FRI actually intended as an offering to God.

FRI  FRI On board the real ship in the spring of 1590, King James VI FRI of Scotland and his new bride, Princess Anne of Denmark, had FRI been at the mercy of the powerful storms in the North Sea. FRI The Danish and Scottish rulers concluded this could only be FRI the work of disturbed spirits conjured by witches and a FRI string of trials and executions followed. FRI  FRI Witches would continue to be associated with James VI, FRI through the vastly popular publication about the trials, FRI News from Scotland, and most famously in Macbeth, the FRI Scottish play that features three ‘black and midnight hags’ FRI at the centre of the action.
