Episode Synopsis
In this episode, hosts Chris Johnston and Allison Lyne cover an extraordinary amount of ground. They begin by offering a tour of the play's narrative highlights. Then, they apply two analytical lenses to the play: ecocriticism and Darwin's stages of evolution. Finally, they dive into the play's use of names and the ways in which characters consider their own names and name objects and creatures in the world around them to discuss how names become a marker of evolution with the text. This episode features readings from the play and original music! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
