In this episode, hosts Nic Holtman and Fallon Smyl hone in on Act II of Fletcher's problematic play and close read the ways in which the play's action stages both the consequences of environmental peril through an ecocritical lens as well as the specter of religious pageantry as Christian propaganda. They end the episode with a rich analysis of the play's musical elements and the ways in which melody and composition can perform colonialist attitudes onstage.Content note: References to racism, misogyny, torture, and Islamophobia.
