Play: Notes
Ever wondered what’s the big deal with a particular play or playwright?
Was Romeo really worth it? What exactly was Oedipus’ complex? Who was Antigone antagonising? And why was a play about vaginas revolutionary for its time?
This is where Play: Notes comes in.
Join Dramaturgs Emily Duncan and Allison Horsley as they give you the need-to-know notes on plays that have influenced how we watch, read, and think about theatre.
Warning: Contains mature themes, language, and spoilers.
Play:Notes is produced by Prospect Park NZ and engineered by Otago Access Radio. Season Two original theme music is by Matthew Morgan.

Play: Notes
Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov
Uncle Vanya shows us just how much Anton Chekhov loved trees, even if not all his characters did. In this episode we also look at the social setting of Chekhov’s Russia and some approaches to translation and adaptation.
