Description
In one of Shakespeare’s lesser known outings, a king better known for his role as a villain in countless retellings of the legend of Robin Hood is a flawed hero fighting against the hated French! Amid the endless twists and turns of the plot, Will and James dissect the politics of foreign wars, nationalism, the Catholic Church, historical memory, and, of course, the Magna Carta and Carl von Clausewitz. // CREDITS // Intro Music: Jon Sayles, "The Witches' Dance" (composed by anonymous); Outro Music: Jon Sayles, “Saltarello” (composed by anonymous); Illustrative Excerpts: “Robin Hood,” dir. Wolfgang Reitherman (1973); “The Life and Death of King John,” Oregon Shakespeare Festival (1959)
