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
Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard by Anton Chekhov
Is Three Sisters Masha 2.0?
Is The Cherry Orchard an early examination of NIMBYism?
We cover all this and more – including a big fire of little consequence – in the final of this season’s Chekhov episodes.
