Listen "The Witch of Edmonton: Disability and Performance"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, hosts George Durfee, Rachel Louis, and Dylan Mabe process some ways in which disability theory opens up performative potential in The Witch of Edmonton. They consider the ways in which the play "others" its title character, including physical disability, advanced age, and her outcast status within her community. They then bring in guest expert Tim Briggs, a multi-hyphenate disabled theatremaker, to consider opportunities the character of Sawyer offers for representation in performance.Content note: This episode includes discussion of abuse, mental illness, and physical and mental disability. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
