BSR_S10E01 - New Heaven New Earth - RAYNE
Join host Darnelle Radford as he sits down with Ang Bey, also known as Rayne, to discuss her innovative play "New Heaven, New Earth." This episode delves into the creative process behind adapting Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" into a modern narrative that explores themes of identity, power, and cultural legacy.
ABOUT NEW HEAVEN, NEW EARTH
On the edge of empire, Cleopatra battles a soothsaying Crocodile in this revisionist, Afrocentric adaptation of Shakespeare's “Antony and Cleopatra”. Written by Rayne, directed by Shamus, with live music by Karen Smith, "new heaven new earth” is an allegory that blends ancient history with poetic futurism. When peace demands war, what will you become, and for whom?
